Floor looks amazing. I prefer the “lower quality” grades of flooring. The variations and knots are what I love about the wood

I have read so many good reviews about tile from people that have it in their garage. It seems all the bad reviews are from people that would never tile their garage. I would never imagine using tile in the garage if I have not seen the proof. I could never do it because subconsciously I...

I have seen people make a piece of wood with 2 bolts used to spread the motor and pump apart with the ability to adjust each bolt to make it straight. I just set mine up and just got it straight with the belt hand tight then removed the belt and moved the motor out a little bit then tightened...

You can always just polish the cement

I was on one of the ******** lawn forums and they constantly say to never disturb the soil by aerating or thatching it. It disturbs the weeds seeds and they start growing. I thatched one side of my lawn before I read that and did not do the other side. The side i thatched was all weeds while...

I was able to hand truck it into the garage on an angle by myself. Would be better with 2 people but they dropped it off and rain was coming so...

I am far from an expert but was in your exact situation a few months ago. I will share what I did and why. I like you used an oil less craftsman 26 gallon compressor for about 12 years. I had 16 sprinkler zones and very long runs. I would have to run my poor compressor for 5 hours straight...

Tuna oil is about as natural as you can get and gets great reviews. I was going to try it on some steps but used polywhey 3500 which is very low VOC as it made out of whey. It worked well but definitely interested in trying true natural tung oil. Be careful a lot of tung oil is modified with...

My first tool kit was a husky kit that came in plastic trays that fit right in a tool box drawer. I loved having every tool having it own spot. It is easy to find stuff and easy to see if something was not put back. I just bought a new box and tool kit so I could use the Foam Fit Tool kit. I...

I ripped out some old boxes and added some where the were none. These Madison boxes are great. You can run the wire through them and then just pop them in and use the side mounted screws to secure it t the stud. Very strong and solid after installed unlike the typical old work boxes with...

Just installed new age cabinets. They are great. Tons of storage and everything is neat and organized. I had shelving in my old garage but it did not look great and everything was always dusty and full of cob webs etc. Now everything stays neat and clean. They are floating so it’s easy to...

I just bought 20 of these to hang all my rakes, shovels etc. Once the snow disappears and they deliver my shed I am going to screw in a 2x4 along the wall and screw these in at the proper spacing to hold all the handled tools I own. They are only $2 a piece

You would hate my toolbox hahaha

Thanks. I will use the garage to have a nice clean comfortable place to wrench on my street bike, dirt bike, snowmobile and quads. The only thing I love more than being in the garage working on my toys is riding them. I remember in college I had my Yamaha R1 street bike In a 4x 10 storage...

That’s it so far. Need to figure out the lighting next and how to pipe the compressor from my basement to the garage

The work top is a natural color bamboo and looks out of place so I am in the process of staining it black. Hopefully a few more coats will darken it up.

The sprinkler controls were wired right where the cabinet would be mounted. I really did not want to rerun the wire in the wall as there are at least 30 wires to disconnect and reconnect. Finally my OCD got to me and I spent a night running the wife through the wall

Getting there

Had to develop a system to hang the cabinets on the wall. The cabinets are almost 400 pounds each. I used 2x4s and kept adding one to each side until they were above the clips and then slid them to the wall and then removed the 2x4s and let them hang.

Lag bolting 8 clips all the same exactly Height and all level was interesting. The sill plates stuck out 2 inches above the cement curb. I wanted to float the cabinets over the 4 inch cement curb but not 8 inches to clear the sill plate so I cut them flush with the wall
