When I painted mine I just cleaned it real good and just painted it with latex paint to match what I was painting the siding. I never sanded or primed the door and in the 5 yrs I was at that house I never saw any coming off.

Build garage bigger than 24x24, it will be full in a hurry and you will wish you had gone bigger.

In my new shop I am building a tool room which will house the air compressor and all my tools. I built a 8 ft work bench and under it I built a second shelf that is only 6 ft long and at the 2 ft on the one end I frame and used ply wood and built a door to have a cabinet underneath the bench to...

I would get a trencher and trench to the house and tie in to the house line. Probably your best bet so nobody finds out about your floor drains in the garage. Probably your less expensive option also as you dont have to build a pump station or treatment station of any kind.

Heck were I am at it doesnt matter where i take a tank to get filled, they take it whether its one of their tanks or not as long as you say you own it, they never have checked the tank #'s. I have had one tank I bought from a buddy and it came from his former employer and I had no problems...

I am not sure the other post of creased ones are from HF. The ones pictured on their website and the ones in my local store do not have the crease.

The HF ones never used to have the crease in them.

If you have the time and paitence and can rent or borrow a drywall jack do it yourself. For me I try to do everythign myself even though sometimes I would have gotten things done faster by paying someone else. Ever since one job i overpaid someone else to do and when i picked it up it was...

See if you can apply for a variance. If your in good with the neighbors it shouldnt be too hard to get. If you can get a variance then build it bigger. If it flys with the town then they would send out cards or chat with your neighbors and if nobody objects and the council gets a majority vote...

All lumber and sheating is slightly undersized. You cant buy 3/8 1/2 3/4 it is going to be undersized about a 1/32. You would use the 1/2 " clips as the 15/32 is only a 1/32 under a 1/2"

Well back in late febuary when I moved in and was about to close on the place i showed you all pics of the garage and house. Well right away I hit it hard and have made alot of progress in it although it is far from being finished. Takes time and lots of money to finish the inside of an...

Keep it on the bench and use it for an anvil, use it to straighten out small pieces of metal or forming small pieces and hit on it instead of your table.

My agent told me to get more converage than what falls under the HOI policy I may have to take out a business policy and pay that separate from the house. I have lots of tools and equipment, I ran a business for awhile and although I dont right now I may down the road and if not i still have all...

My previous house I justy moved from I had something just as bad or worse than termites------ Carpenter ants look like termites and eat nite or day and do as much or more damge. I had some damge I noticed in the home when I was selling it but the pest guy didnt see it and the house sold...

If you want a large pit in the garage then make it. if down the road you are worried about it when selling the home fill it with dirt and cap it with concrete and repaint the floor and nobody will ever know it was there but you.

I would get several quotes and do as much as possible yourself, even finished thats way high in my opinion.

Looks unsafe to me if your depending on the hydraulic cylinders to fully support the weight. Once more people see it I am sure they will feel the same way. Good idea but sure doesnt look very safe.
