Ok, so I've got some custom cabs going in and just did drywall. I am definitely doing the upper walls and ceiling all in bright white to reflect as much light as possible - that much is for certain. I'm guessing the cabinet doors should be white also, but maybe the boxes themselves in a...

I finally got my garage insulated and the mini split installed. I went with R-15 in the three 2x4 walls, R-19 in the 2x6 wall, and R-30 high density in the rafters and ceiling. Fire caulk and penetrations all done properly. Cost installed was around $1100 for everything. I also bought a...

I have previously posted pics and details about my ongoing shop/garage build - stage 1 was the building itself, stage 2 was a lengthy DIY on how I did my epoxy flooring, stage 3 covered the 2-post lift selection and installation, and now I have almost finished stage 4, so I figured I'd post it...

So I'm now trying to figure out what to do about cabinets. I've got about 18 feet of wall along which is a double-wide plastic sink and also some windows. Here's what the sink and windows look like at the far end: My goal is to have one long, flat surface on which I can store tools or work...

After much research, I finally decided on a Challenger VS-10. I laid out the columns using Rhino Ramps which closely approximate the column size. My garage is 25'3" deep and the ceiling height is 13'0" at the center, and my goal was to put the columns as far back as possible while still...

The only things I have from there are their disposable funnels, some wheel brushes for getting in tight spokes, and their indispensable tire pressure gauge/inflator. I've never seen them discount before, and their prices are quite high in general, but they do lifetime warranty on everything...

After what seemed to me like endless amounts of reading on this board, and narrowing my choices down to Wolverine and Epoxy-Coat, I decided to go with Epoxy-Coat based mostly on cost and ease of application. I didn't think that spending double would get me a floor that would be twice as good...

Hey all - I finally decided after a long and challenging process and bought epoxy-coat's product. I'll be doing a 20mil thickness on my floor along with light to medium flake broadcast. I have a 23x27 brand new slab, no expansion joints, with multiple tiny hairline cracks. I have driven my...

Hi all: I plan to coat my garage floor with either Epoxy-Coat or Wolverine, but my main question is this: if my future color theme/scheme is intended to be black/gray/red/white, and I plan to do a medium gray base coat, which flake colors would make the most sense? The obvious answer would...

Hi all, I'm from Raleigh, NC and have read a ton of great stuff on this board so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a car and motorcycle and bicycle nut. I'd like to be more of a DIYer than I am already, so I'm working on it. I posted another thread with build pics of my new garage, so I'll...

Hi everyone. I live in Raleigh, NC and my house was built with a "small as possible" 3-car garage measuring 20x30. I had it all planned out with high lift doors, blah blah blah, when the ceiling height came out wrong at just under 10 feet. Ever since we built in 2001, I have dreamt of adding...
