hey guys im gonna make a little concrete pad for my air compressor outside (30x48 inches). how thick should i make it? how much sand should i put down first? should I use gravel? think rebar is necessary? thanks!

So we were leaving for church this morning and the garage door wouldn't come down. Being the manly man I am I decided to just force it down to deal with it later. well this was bad because one cable came off its spool the door was coming down unevenly with rollers coming off their tracks. Long...

Hey guys so I have this maxjax and its amazing but there is a catch. I've got to do something about the lines. I haven't needed to move the column closest to the wall (call it column A) since I installed it a couple months ago but the one in the middle of the garage (lets call this column B)...

Hey guys, I'm trying to find out where I can get one of those little diamond plate pads that help you park the car in the same spot between the lift posts every time. Anybody know what its called or where to get one? I see some similar but not made of metal.

A couple of these are on my walls and need to be dealt with before I can put up sheetrock. I have 6 22 foot joists going front to back holding the walls up and two pieced together joists above those with some braces in the attic. Thoughts from the experts? Thanks!

this is how level my lift install is. I don't have anything more accurate to measure it. Good enough?

I've decided to not do sheetrock for my walls because I want something that looks a little nicer but mostly a better surface to reflect the light asap. I don't think I need insulation right now because I'll just be venting through the attic and using fans for now. Its a small garage 22x23x8...

Well, Its about time to start documenting my new build. We got a new house built in 1980 and this time the garage is a 2.5 so there is plenty of room for something I've always dreamed of owning... Thus the garage build has been officially kicked off. Here is my maxjax install: See the...

hey guys, I'm embarking on my journey to install the maxjax and I think I hit some rebar. I then tried to drill a couple inches to the right (i would fill in the old hole) and didn't get but maybe a couple inches. I also noticed some rock in my concrete floor. Questions: I'm using a half inch...

Hey guys lowes is having a sale right now with a good price on a hitachi 10 inch miter saw and i need one for wood but also metal. I never do heavy metal work but occasionally cut some 1/8" steel. Would it be a bad idea to get this saw to use it for wood most of the time and get a metal blade...

Hey guys, my garage has 7 or 8 2x10's joists running front to back (each sitting attop the wall studs and connected to the roof) with two pieced together crossbeams on top of those. The roof is a four sided pyramid with a 25 degree angle. The 2x10's make the ceiling at 8ft and i'd like to get...

THIS GUY! Found it on craigslist, turned out to be a forum member, and its brand new for... well... way less than anywhere online :)

Hey guys I need to repair the lip of our driveway. A small portion is broken off and the rest of it is just about a 3-4 inches vertical drop. I'd like to fix the broken part and put a little incline to prevent further decay (as well as save some tire life). Does anybody here have experience...

Its listed for 100 bucks locally. good buy?

Simple dilemma, do I get the regular stuff or the mold resistant drywall for my houston, tx garage? I will be insulating it, having attic ventilation, and it won't have AC for a long time (if ever). thanks!

I'm thinkin of doing the corner closet like this with the workbench in the free space. that will keep my front free for stuff like hoists and other things on wheels. Thoughts? the black and yellow things are the approximate locations for the max jax (yes, i've already let the wifey know :) )...

I was talking about my plans for insulating and skinning the new garage when my dad suggested I use mold resistant sheetrock. The cost is like 3 times normal sheetrock and I'm wondering if its necessary. I won't be washing cars or anything inside of the shop. I plan on insulating and...

We didn't intend to but sorta flipped out house for a pretty penny and upgraded so daddy goes from a 18x22 footer to a 27x22 foot DETACHED garage. I'm STOKED beyond measure. It's gutted. We close on the new casa on the 27th. Here's pics of it in its 1980's neglected form. The wifey...
