    Garage slab poured!

    It will be relocated against the front of the garage and two bollards will be poured to protect it. Our local gas company wanted $2k (!!!) to relocate to the side and they won't let you do it yourself.

    Garage slab poured!

    Thanks! For those of you that live in colder clients this typically wouldn't work but here in sunny San Diego it's fairly easy. That and it was out of necessity the way the site / house lays out. The house is at a higher elevation (slopes from the front of the house to the back). That and...

    Converted my 2 car garage into a 3 car ! (lift)

    Man I love 911's. My mom drove them for most of her life...Great cars. I am debating between two-post and four-post. The majority of the time it will be used for storage but I work on my cars as well... Decisions Decisions...

Garage will be 24 x 32 (approx) with 12 foot ceiling to accomodate a two-post lift (we have three cars). Should be done in three weeks time....House is in...

    Anyone heard of "Auto Lift" autolifts???

    I am getting ready to order the lift for my garage and was all set to get a Direct Lift. In talking with the local vendor they suggested either Auto Lift or Bend Pak. Unfortunately the Bend Pak is a few inches to high (just OVER 12') so it won't fit. He also carries Direct Lift but had...

    Anyone familiar with RollonRock - 1 Day Epoxy?

    Well I am not doing the work so I don't know if that applies. The company that provided the quote says they have done 100's of jobs so they have significant experience (they have provided plenty of references).

    Anyone familiar with RollonRock - 1 Day Epoxy?

    I am looking at several different floor systems for my new garage and one that has caught my eye is RollonRock. It is an epoxy (actually I think Polyurea?) floor system that can be done in one day (grind, prime, epoxy, topcoat). They "claim" it is as tough as anything out there. Because of...

    Thoughts on Ikea Cabinets...and layout

    Hi everyone. We are getting ready to break down on our new two car garage here in San Diego. Garage is 22' (actually 23') wide by 32' feet deep (narrow because of setback requirements). I am thinking about using Ikea Cabinets and came up with the following design. I need to leave room for my...

    My Black Friday...TOOLS TOOLS TOOLS!!

    Yeah I always check the "Made In" label and noticed they were made in China. Irritates we as well but they are good "just in case" tool to have.... They don't make a true "Craftsman" version do they?

    My Black Friday...TOOLS TOOLS TOOLS!!

    In light of the fact that I am building a new garage at our house I decided to finally buy myself some tools that weren't hand-me-downs.... :bounce: And to hold it all a 22 drawer, 40 inch tool chest with ball bearing and griplatch drawers...

    z28snksknr...you are spot on. At least that is what I am finding. On a sidenote I was in Normandy with my fiancee in May and I think I have the exact same photo as you!

    Tips on designing and building a garage

    I don't agree with #2. They make roof trusses that are so-called attic-trusses that allow roof for storage. Time = Money

    Building a new garage...need advice

    Thanks for the input!!! My neighbors property line is on the east side of the garage so there is a finite setback requirement there. On the west side there is our guesthouse which limits our ability to expand that way. In the future i'll probably pop the walls off and connect the two to...
