Yup - good now. -Mark

None of your photos are working for me. Your security settings are off I think. -Mark

I am personally going to build a 1.5" plywood top by laminating 2x 3/4" sheets (I have an L configuration so will be staggering the joint) and then having a 16ga steel top fabricated to drop on top of it. The cost was less than I expected for my 8'x7' "L" and given that a lot of work is...

I recall a post where the guy had used a new baking sheet as a base and then pinned the rails in it - looked really slick. -Mark

Made a little progress today, knocking a few projects out. First up was secure the second segment of pegboard and hide the wiring for the powerbar behind it at the same time: Next up, hang two more overhead shelves and hang the bikes up under it: Need more bins! We always need more bins...

Property taxes on our modest 40-year old 2100s "first home" in the suburbs of Vancouver are about $4500cdn/yr. It is all relative... -Mark

I can confirm - I bought 2x 35" SHD models and they both came with MDF but not metal on top of that. Cheers

Pole barn style construction but with steel? I've not seen that before - what drove you that direction? -Mark

I've read through a lot of your thread - it looks like you are really enjoying your new space! I am curious as this concept of a garage condo doesn't really exist in my part of the world - what advantages does buying something like this have over building a garage at your home? I took a pop on...

I am being told they are between 8 and 10 years old - nowhere near that old. They are looking for about 50% of new (Canadian dollars). -Mark

What would a reasonable but original condition 8-drawer machinist chest (with flip top) with the full width 2 drawer riser be worth? Have found a friend with a pair for sale but wants big $$$ for them and I am unclear how far out of market he might be. Thanks, Mark

I need to do the same for my overhead lights - I am leaning towards 4x 4' LED panels and I think they will be sufficient but will pull down the bulbs I have now to try to calculate the total lumens they output to compare. -Mark

Totally fine. This is how they sit today: My whole build thread is here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413603 Since ordering these, my step father has been so impressed with mine he just specced a 14 piece Pro series for the new house they are just moving into this...

Small bits of progress, but progress nonetheless! Framed and mounted the two BMW motorsports posters I have been hanging onto for awhile. The left one is particularly exciting for me as my first racecar was a white E36 BMW similar to the one pictured - it is a new old stock poster from 1997...

Absolutely - I am envious of all the fantastically large garages on GJ but in our neighborhood, this is about the best you can get. Cheers Mark

Thanks! I have a long way to go but it's fun so far. Much appreciated! I actually change tires very frequently as I autocross my car a lot so I wanted the lower set to be very handy, the taller set are about as close to the garage track as I wanted to flirt with. Definitely am planning on...

I've had my old Craftsman (I think probably a Waterloo built box, possibly SPG) for some time now stored at my parents' house and have had my eye open for an upgrade. I wanted a 54" box but came across a deal I couldn't resist for the SPG International Super Heavy Duty boxes at 50% off at Home...

Another project I wanted to knock off sooner rather than later was to mount some tire racks and repurpose one of the previous owner's shelves to mount up high to store basically all the other shelves. I found some good triangulated 16" shelf brackets on Craigslist for $4 each and bought a box...

Next up was some strong overhead shelving for bin storage. I had seen the ProRack by Proslat Overhead Shelves at a friend's place and decided they were the way I was going to go. At $125cdn each, they are great value in my opinion. Each 4' section is rated for 800lbs (when mounted in...

I went away for a work trip for a few days and I came back to an early Christmas gift to myself from NewAge cabinets: I ordered 3 Pro 3.0 Upper Cabinets for above my work bench and 2 Bold 3.0 Multi-Use Lockers for next to my garage door on the far wall. I would have preferred to spend the...
