My 2 cents based on doing this over the summer - I went with Hikvision cameras, BlueIris for the DVR software and used hard drives I already had for storage. That all being said if you are starting with nothing and need it all then the FLIR package costs is pretty close to what you would be...

Thanks! Definitely works out the best for me there. :beer:

Organized clutter hidden behind doors now. :lol: Once I finish up the finish work and put a fresh coat of paint on this summer it will really look a lot better.

Thanks. The car is a 1980 Sterling, which is a VW kit car. It's been my "6 month project" since this time in 2008 going from a simple rewire to a full restoration with a few interior and exterior modifications. When I got it. How it sits now with a custom interior, custom rear "bumper"...

I had 4 sliding door cabinets I wanted off the floor. My first choice of locations didn't work as the attic ladder pulled down too close to the wall. With that it was settled, they would go up above the existing filing cabinet. Ledger in. It will fill the space nicely. Again, not my first...

Thanks! It works for what I need and saves a good chunk of floor space. Sometime I'll go back to it and redo it out of metal to make it a bit more pleasant to look at. The drain set up is ugly - similar to the Hot and Cold lines that feed it currently. There is a floor drain in the corner...

Got the cabinet cut up to my liking, framed it in and was able to mount the rest of the work bench up. I also decided to hang 2 of the 6 metal cabinets just under the soffit storage. This gives me more closed storage off of the floor. You can also see the large cabinet moved in front of the...

Cabinets all finished up. Drywall put up and finish work done. I decided to not paint until I get everything built which doesn't help with the look but functionality is just as important now. Also mounted 2 smaller cabinets above part of the workbench. The sink needs a new home just not...

I didn't have the funds for a real tool cabinet so these will do in the meantime (Paid $30 for them). My work bench size will be done so that the HF cabinet will fit in the future.

My plans included moving the work bench from the front of the garage near the door to the back corner. The new location was where the washer and dryer hookups were. We had moved them out of the garage years ago but the lines still remained and of course the water lines were 18" too high...

I'm not one to have cold hold me back but I do have my limits. These were taken over the summer, my goal was to have it done before the snow hit so the wife could park in the garage again. :lol: I do agree with the meter. My house was literally the last house to be done this way in the...

First thing is first, get the bikes off of the ceiling in the middle of the garage and put them to the side where they can be accessed with the cars in the garage. Next I wanted to get storage with doors while not taking up floor space. I decided to do soffit storage along one of the side...

Just to clear things up right off the bat - no, it's not a real fall out shelter just named after a few signs we removed from our office building during renovations. Seemed like a good garage name. :) The garage is just a simple 22x22 garaged that needed a lot of cleaning up. Stuff had a...

Depends on how they did the load bearing wall when the addition was built. More than likely, as Cobbler said, you will need a beam and perhaps a post as well.

Definitely epoxy. I have been using a locktite epoxy lately with good results. Used it to repair the plastic bumper on my Avalanche with no issues so far. The drywall mesh is a really good idea especially since you can't drill holes for added strength. I would. Recommend roughing up the...
