I've heard many guys say, "All I need is a little home with a big garage next to it." Me too! My wife and I are not big, fancy home folks. We prefer something cozy and because I have (as mentioned before) totally effed up any chance at early retirement, we were looking to stay within a fairly...

This my Desert Dream Garage just by the fact I finally have something larger than the standard two-car garage I've had for the last 25 years, and its in the lovely desert of my home state of Arizona! But it's neither that big or that fancy, not by GJ standards. :bowdown: Hope you'll enjoy...

Interesting! What are they called so I can go and do some research for my use case? Thanks! :beer:

Congrats on the progress! My garage cabinets were delivered so I've been in the garage working on finishing the wall on which they will hang. Dumb question - what are those metal strips with the arrow-like hooks? Hoping they might have to do with insulation, as they look like they might fit a...

Slow, thanks for sharing your mistakes. Helps us learn and avoid similar missteps in the future, and (selfishly) it helps me feel I’m in good company when I screw up (and I do - a lot!). Once I start my garage thread I’ll have plenty of those to share. �� I like Readhead’s...

I see that the Bold base cabinets have a way to route electrical cords through the bottom. What are some other ways people are routing electrical and other cables to their worktops?

Thanks! The garage's purpose is to house and maintain my car, truck and three motorcycles, and then provide enough room to work on other projects. I work in information technology and spend all day in my home office, but love working with my hands. I desire to teach myself to weld and become...

Nice looking shop coming together! Phoenix area native here - my wife of 33 years and I moved out to Apache Junction last year to get out of town. I am new to GJ and have a 35x40 steel building that I am slowly outfitting. I'll be following closely to learn what I can from you as you progress.

Found a vice for sale nearby and picked it up very cheap. Haven’t even Googled it yet. Hope it’s worth bolting to the bench. If it’s not total junk, I’ll have fun spiffing it up and making it look like new. Other than being rusty, it looks like it’s had little use. Edit: Looks like it’s...

Vendor does not think there's a problem, so he is not going to fix it. He's willing to make repairs where the floor 'fails,' but he sees the damage caused by my kickstand as normal.

That looks amazing.

Thank you all for your help on this. I am hopeful the vendor will address the issue properly.

That's what I am thinking, but my vendor is not convinced. :( I think so, but hard to say. I'm going to try to post a video and picture below, let me know what you think. Right, and I could definitely see a scratch happening, but this is completely pushing the top coat aside. Quick update...

Thank you sir, I am doing just that.

Thank you, .5 Cup. I feel genuinely blessed. On another subject, I'd love to visit your beautiful country some day. :D

@LegacyIndustrial - do you think this coating should be able to handle the weight of a motorcycle sidestand without damage? I am not asking it to withstand dragging or scraping a heavy metal object. I just want it to be able to take me parking my bike there.

Thanks Joe and kd3pc (ham call?) The vendor offers a lifetime warranty. They diamond grind the slab before coating. With a lifetime warranty I would think it would behoove them to get it right the first time. I don't know how I retroactively ensure they followed the correct steps, but I...

Howdy from sunny Arizona! I have realized a life-long dream of building a big workshop where I can have room to store my vehicles and also have room to work on projects. I'm just a hobbyist. I like to work on my own cars and motorcycles as well as help others and build and create stuff. The...

Hello all - first post here. :thumbup: I'll introduce myself and my garage in another post, but I have a somewhat urgent question. To make a long story short, I hired a highly rated local vendor (name currently withheld until this situation is resolved) to apply a multistage coating with...
