So much for starting the house at the end of July...here it is near the end of September and I'm still working on the cave...although I'm getting closer all the time. Painting is done, moving on to the floor. Opted to just paint it instead of epoxy - I don't think the epoxy will hold up under...

Welcome...looking forward to some photos of your toys and your build...

Link works better without that extra 'a', eh. :) http://www.gofastgarage.com Great looking bunch of toys you and your dad have going there. That Merc should be a nice truck when you're done.

Using the lift for the walls is a snap. And it sure beats struggling to hold the board up (especially with 10 or 12 footers) while fumbling for the nails/screws and hammer/drill, then finding the board shift down a half inch just when you're ready to fasten. After using a lift to do the 11' 4"...

That's definitely a lot of 'over budget', but it sure does look sharp. Nice build!

Permit to add 722 sq ft to my house, along with major house renos, was only $350! Guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

Like wythors indicated, there's a good possibility of different quality of service between outlets. The problem with being associated with a franchise is that people DO judge your store based on their experiences with other stores of the same name. It will take a lot before I have faith in any...

Don't underestimate the fun of the bashing they do in the SCA...it's a good time ;-) While I don't have the time to do the fighting anymore, I've always wished I could turn out armour like some of the skilled craftsmen are able to do. I'd like to see some photos of your work when you're ready!

I stopped dealing with Midas when their "lifetime warranty" mufflers cost me $200 to replace every 3 years - shoddy material. I also wasn't impressed when they diagnosed a client's VW Beetle (old Beetle) with needing a new muffler. To cut a long story short, I discovered it to be loose head...

Dare I ask what you do with the armour?

Why not get hot water as well? I didn't want to heat a full tank full of water for the garage, but I found a GE 2 gallon water heater that runs off 110 volts. I ran a dedicated outlet for it so it wouldn't overload any circuits, and put it on a switch. Price was under $200 CDN at Home Depot.

All I can say is that the CT stores around this area are great when it comes to returns and warranties. Apart from the paint sprayer I blasted in the reviews thread, all of the last several $50+ items that I've returned have been either exchanged or refunded without any problems at all. I've...

I ran into the same problem with my build...lots of talk but when it came time to start...hmmmmmmm... Now I wonder who the first ones looking use the garage to do a tuneup on a wet day will be :lol_hitti

Heh! Go figure!

I bought a Karcher from Canadian Tire...it packed it in after about 3 years, but only a few uses...I think it will be looking like yours soon. Reckon my next pressure washer will be gas powered.

Demo sites can be a good source, but you've probably already figured that one out. I got one set of cupboards from a house that was being torn down (they didn't charge me for the live 22 calibre round I found in it ;-P) and a full set of cabinets from when we remodelled our lodge kitchen. Not...

Figured I'd pick up a paint sprayer to speed up the garage...rental sprayers (professional style) were $70 a day and I didn't want to buy the damned thing but I'd need it for at least 3 days. I had an old electric sprayer, but it gave up the ghost after a few test shots...it was around 20 years...

Requiring moderator intervention for new user posts is probably creating more work in setting up and administering the system than it's worth just to avoid having a spam post or two every day or so. Yes, they are an annoyance, but they're not infecting the board with viruses and their subject...

I think you'll need to carry the centre support all the way to the floor otherwise you're likely to get sagging in between the lower two supports. The drawers alone are 96 pounds combined, plus the weight of everything you put in them, plus the weight of whatever you're working on on the bench...

Are there any competing stores in your area selling tools with a 'lifetime' warranty? Check what their policies are...I know of at least one chain in my area that will honour a Craftsman warranty by replacing the broken tool with a lifetime warranty equivalent from their product line. Worth...
