I did mine with a bit of powder coat. I just put a flat black stripe of coating on all my tools and then cooked them in a dedicated toaster oven. Harbor freight sells the powder for about $5, and the sprayer for about $100.

I'm sure this has been beat to death and back on this forum, but buying a lift is a big investment for me and I want to make sure I get it right. I'm just a hobbyist, so the lift will probably only cycle 100 times a year or so. The heaviest thing I have to pick up would be a 4 door Chevy 1/2...

Here's my 2 car apartment garage. As far as apartment garages go, it's pretty decent; about 20 x 22 and the apartment complex has never hassled me about working on stuff in there (even though the lease specifically forbids it). For the most part, the garage works well for me...

I bought a cheap window unit for my 2 car garage out of desperation a couple months ago. It's hot and humid here in NC as well, so I kinda know where you are coming from. The unit was $150 or so from Best Buy, and claims it can cool something like 200 square feet or something. My garage is a...

I ended up renting another single car garage for a total of 3 bays. The double bay houses the Corvette, my tools, and other junk. The third bay doubles as storage for the Regal and a paint booth. I've been in the complex for about 1.5 years now with no problems from the management. The...

I worked at Sears from 2002 to 2004. It might be different now, but at that time if you brought in a Craftsman torque wrench looking for warranty replacement, the coached response is, "This is a precision measuring tool, not a hand tool. It doesn't fall under the hand tool warranty." You...

I don't have anywhere to put it, it's an apartment complex. The pics above are the old garage, at my house. The new place is a 2 bedroom apartment, in a normal apartment complex. Thanks for the lookout though! Maybe I can find a place to stash something like that at work?

I hate to rent a seperate storage unit, but I might have no choice. The plan is to eventually rent an additional 2 car garage from the apartment complex, but for now I can't afford it. I don't like the idea of attaching a bunch of shelves to the walls in the garage because I'm a little afraid...

It's an apartment style set up, so building a shed or using the loft isn't an option, but the wheel idea is pretty good. Thanks for the advice, and keep it coming! Anyone have any cool space savings ideas?

I am in the middle of down sizing as well. There's no way to put it, other than it *****. Good luck!

Here's some more information: Old garage measures 23' deep by 19' wide. These are actual inside measurements, I took them a few minutes ago. I called the office of the new apartment complex and was able to get what they call 'published dimensions' of the 2 car garage I am renting. Basically...

I work at a CAT equipment dealer, and renting a rubber tire telehandler might be your best option. You should be able to rent one for less than $200 a day, and if you could stack some other things to use it for on that same day to maximize the use you got out of it, it might be the best option...

I don't have any pics of the new place, but I can grab some of the old place while I'm home for lunch. The new place is about 100 miles away. I have already signed the lease and have the keys, but I won't be back there until this weekend.

Hi guys- Right now I am renting a house with a nice 2 car garage attached to it. The reason I chose to rent the house was because of the garage, it was the largest garage equipped home that was in my price range. I don't have the measurements on me right now, but I'll post back this afternoon...

New to the forum, just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Josh Kinzey, originally from Libby, Montana. I lived in Ogden, Utah for about 5 years, and then moved to North Carolina. My hobbies are drag racing and skiing. Right now I have a decent 2 car garage, but I'm getting ready to move...

Hi guys- New here, living in Fayetteville, NC right now. No super garage right now or anything, just a 2 car attached to my house. I'm looking to improve though, so we'll see what I can do with the information available here. See you around. -Josh
