    What kind of primer/paint for new garage?

    I think some basic research has netted me this product: Glidden 5 Gallon Interior Speed-Wall PVA Latex Primer/Sealer Seems easy to clean, is extremely inexpensive at <$5 a gallon, and can accept different final paint products. I may primer, sand, primer, sand then paint . . . still looking...

    What kind of primer/paint for new garage?

    The inside of an attached garage; two walls are common with the home, one wall is nearly all garage doors and the final wall is stucco on the exterior. Above the garage is a big game room. Thanks, Todd

    Big Bang Theory and Garage Journal

    I loved that part too!! One of many things that makes me relate to that show (e.g. I'm an IT Manager, so Geek is in my blood), is that my friend and I did nearly the EXACT same thing about 20 years ago after watching "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" - we agreed if either of us were to either...

    What kind of primer/paint for new garage?

    I think this is an easy question, but I realize this question could be teetering on the "what kind of shoe is better, Nike or Reebok?" but, any help is appreciated. Some Details: * Garage is 600sf w/9' ceilings. 1 Wall is pretty much all garage doors. * It is finished in drywall with a "hot...

    Workbench Designs?

    Good point, maybe I'll go with two "all drawers" and two top drawer with doors below. I want a spot for big items like circular saws, batter chargers, cans of paint, etc. And, I'd prefer them to be out of sight . . . but then again, maybe that's what the overhead cabinets will be for . . ...

    Expansion Joints - Fill or leave?

    Yeah, but it's one of only 4 spaces that are mine (the other three are the den, the theater and of course the man-throne (upstairs water-closet)). I don't even get the game room as mine! You're right of course, its just that one wall of "curb" (I like that definition) ***** pretty bad. And, I...

    Expansion Joints - Fill or leave?

    Actually, I have one more question since your garage picture looks near identical to mine (I'm also in Cali) . . . In the 2nd picture (2.JPG (2 of 4)), the cement edges that stand up about 8" . . . . did you try to smooth those out / paint them too? One of my walls these are not even close to...

    Perfect, that's pretty much what I wondered. Thank you for the feedback on your experience.

    Expansion Joints - Fill or leave?

    Awesome pictures and great info Ch3No2! My expansion joints look identical to yours and I have zero cracking outside of the joints. If you did a floor epoxy afterwards and have pictures I would like to see those (especially where the joints were). Thanks again! ToddnMiss

    Workbench Designs?

    Cool link to a post, big time saver, thank you!! I'm pretty sure I know what I want to do for a design, but trying to save a few bucks is important too. Besides some big wall hanging cabinets (say, 12'W, 7'H, 18"D) I want to have about 12' of like kitchen bottom cabinets (with drawers on top...

    Workbench Designs?

    Is there a particular forum in here where people share their designs on how they built their workbench? All I've found was a you-tube video (uFpeNVO80kY) but I hoped for something better. That's how I found this site, so far though its been very helpful for garage floor surface questions. I...

    Expansion Joints - Fill or leave?

    Thank you very much for the reply & info, I can see where the question "seemed" similar, but I assure you it was more of a should/can it be done before treated my floor with 'Epoxy-Coat' than a question of aesthetics. I know I prefer the cracks filled for utility purposes and thus was going to...

    Expansion Joints - Fill or leave?

    Team, This is my first post so please be gentle . . . I did some searching and the 2nd article I read seemed to have a bit of banter going back-n-forth (30182). I am excited to find a forum dedicated what I want to be one of my four man-rooms (the other three are the home theater, the den and...
