Hi All, I live in the Colorado Rockies at 8400' of elevation. I have a detached garage that is 24' x 40' and has an open ceiling. The walls are 10' tall with a center ceiling height of 16'. It is insulated with R19 insulation in the walls and R31 in the ceiling. The walls are finished in...

I have just purchased a small rental property. It has a detached garage that will not rent with the property, I'm going to use it to store some of my car projects. The garage has some issues and I received a decent discount on the price for it, but I need to figure out what to do to fix it...

Hey guys, A year or so ago I bought a refurbished lift from a local lift installation/repair company. It is an older Nussbaum. Not sure of the model but I think it's an SPL-7000 from looking at pics on the web. It has worked flawlessly, until yesterday. I needed to get the arms out of the...

I have a friend that is selling a used Eagle SS6000 (6K lb) 4 post lift. I was thinking about getting this for a storage stall that I rent to hold some of my car stuff. Does anyone know anything about the quality of this lift? I think it's about 15 years old. They don't make it anymore...

I hope Scotty is on today, but if not I need some immediate advice. I am installing the epoxy floor this weekend and ran into a big problem. I did the primer yesterday and went to lay the epoxy today and found that something is wrong with it. It has a ton of chunks in it, as though it has...

I am going to do a Legacy primer/epoxy/urethane coating on my garage floor this weekend. I have two questions: What is the maximum recoat window for the primer/epoxy coat, and for the epoxy/urethane coat? The instructions specify a minimum, but not a maximum. After I ground the floor with a...

I just built a new 20 x 28 detached garage. My plan was to do an epoxy floor, but I've about hit my budget, so I guess that's out. This will be a working garage, I have 4 classic cars in varying degrees of restoration. There will be plenty of oil, transmission fluid, grease, etc. spilled on...

Hi all, I'm currently having a new garage built and was having OSB put on the interior walls. They were doing that today and when I got home I found that they had installed it rough side out. :mad: Outside of it looking like ****, I'm wondering how hard it's going to be to get it painted. I...

I am in the process of building a new 20' x 28' garage. Part of the garage will have a vaulted ceiling to make room for a lift. I need to figure out the best lighting arrangement to illuminate it well enough for my old eyes. ;) The vaulted part is 20' x 20' and the lights will be 13' from the...

Hi all, Just thought I'd post a few pics of my in-progress garage build. It's a 20' x 28'. Unfortunately, that's all I had room for on my lot, but it'll seem like a lot more compared to what I've been working with. It's framed out right now, waiting for inspection. I'll post some more pics...

Hi, I am about to start construction on a new detached garage. It will be 20' x 28' with 10' walls. I want to do a combination loft and open (cathedral style) ceiling. The open area will be 20' of the 28' length, and the remaining 8' will be the loft. My goal here is to have enough height in...

Hi all, Six years ago I poured a 20x20 slab for a second, detached garage. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I never built it. Now I would like to go ahead, but want to extend it to 20x40. I can't go wider due to setback restrictions. So a primary concern is making sure that the two...

Hey guys, I'm planning to build a second garage this spring/summer to work on my classic cars. Been doing it in my 2-car garage and it just ain't cuttin' it anymore. Plus I need more cover because I'm tired of my sphincter tightening up every time there's hail in the area, like last night...

Hi guys, I've been watching the forum for a few months now and finally got my garage to the point I can actually use it. I'm a Mopar guy and have a 64 Belvedere and a 68 Coronet R/T that my son and I are restoring. It's kinda cramped since it's just a typical 2-car suburban garage, but we work...
