Thanks guys! I'll have to think about the outlet thing - it could be handy to have some power inside where dust can't get on whatever I'm plugging in. That being said, the cabinets are 3 ft wide and the benches are 4 ft wide, and it looked like it would work out that the outlet/conduit would...

Oh man, as i scrolled quickly speedreading this page I saw yours and saw "~~~ice water challenge wife ~~~ ******** ~~~~~" So I slowed down and read it again...

Deezee those do look the same. Do you know much about them? Anything particularly cool or are they just run of the mill cabinets from the 80s or whatever? My guy said he figured he'd had them up for 30+ years (and seriously... that paint layered on there was a pain in the *** so i'm inclined...

Thanks! And I'll come back and add a before/after of the -attempt- to clean up the overspray/rust dust/chemical mess from my cabinet painting project. I thought ahead enough to get a nice plastic drop cloth, but it was not big enough it seems. I'll learn my lesson of of these days...probably...

Picked these up at a garage sale - paid $6 for the 3, plus the guy tossed in a corner one that lost the door long ago. The feel quite sturdy, with the exception of the one you see the half hose reel on. That one's hinge pivot has been traded for a nail, and he had some heavy welding cable on...

Howdy folks - I used the drylock concrete paint on my old garage floor and just recently on my "new" one. I had very good luck at the old house - 2 gallons covered my 24x24 garage, 1990's slab that had no real stains or issues. I did have a little hot tire pick up here and there, but I didn't...

I had that happen at my old house - on the garage floor rarely, but often on my basement walls. In my case, I'm pretty sure it was efflorescence

Threw some paint on my cabinets with my new Wagner Flexio 590. I'll be setting a thread up shortly to document!

Finished up my first draft of getting the steel workbenches ready to go. Stripped 2 of the 3 metal cabinets down to metal. Quite sore now...

+1, I'm in same situation as you except my garage is a bit smaller. I did some R38 ( i believe, its about a foot thick) fiberglass bats stapled between joists. I haven't finished it beyond that, but it has helped noticeably this summer already. I finished installing it toward the end of...

Cursed as I tried to remove rusty nuts/flat head screw combos from some old steel workbenches I picked up.....with hand tools so I didn't risk waking the sleeping baby. Got 4 out of 8 at least... soon the cutoff wheel will have its turn...

I was recently in a small shop that had a barn fan up in the "attic" which was wide open, and wow did that make a difference. It was something like this http://fountainbuildings.com/wp-content/uploads/Attic-Fan-Barn-Only.jpg I recently got one of these mounted between my two garage doors...

Just looked at post 364 again - I think I have an idea. My initial concern with that style setup was that i currently have one of the HF boxes and then a smaller husky one. For some reason i thought the only way to get an even height for work surface was to set the boxes on something, and then...

I don't have a welder and would like to build something similar, with 2 boxes, out of wood. I hope to move casters onto the wooden legs so i could still move it as needed. Has anybody on here made one with wood at all? I'm thinking 4x4 for bottom rectangle to support, with casters on the 4...

Damn that's going to be awesome! Cheers from a fellow gb resident!

Moving right along. Got the conduit and boxes mounted for electrical, going to be pulling wire soon. Now, I went and got Durovents and ended up buying half of my original plan, after noticing they're perforated to be ripped down the center. that leaves me with one vent section per truss...

My previous garage was the same. I ended up putting the 3 or 4 inch rolls into the walls, kraft faced, and closed up with OSB. Then i used the same rolls in the rafters and closed the topside with OSB to support me for storage up there. Bottom remained exposed and I sold it that way. I...

Thanks Scott! I am fine replacing existing stuff electrically but wasn't about to **** around with adding a subpanel and all that. Plus, his bending of the conduit (i'm going surface mount for everything) will turn out much better than what I could do. Plus, peace of mind is valuable to me...

I like my HF 44 but just got it. I don't detect enough side-to-side to bother me, and my top drawer is full of sockets and ratchets so it's got a bit of weight. The box itself is heavy in my opinion and should stay put pretty well - especially if you bolt two together and possibly swap the...

Welp, got my fake trusses up. All by myself too, not too rough. Some had a bit of a warp to them but they're up and secure. there are a few "random" boards on the top half that actually support the door openers and rails, as well as one that goes across and just has electrical stapled to it...
