That tool box is kick ***. For the money I couldn't imagine anything better. TONS of space.

I'll have a pretty significant one pretty soon. I've really been enjoying the garage and have completed several projects in it already, reaffirming what a great idea it was. Air system install and Quincy compressor install is next, followed by TV and sound system. Lift will be last.

Someone who wanted it sound deadened. It has QuietRock sheetrock inside and out with insulation in the walls as well. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll figure it out.

I said they were sheetrocked and posted a giant picture LOL At least now I know I'm not as dense as I was starting to feel!

No need to build a mock up. I'm no builder so I'm still missing something. How does the pipe clamp attach to the stud? They're behind drywall on both sides of the closet (inside and out) and it's QuietRock with insulation as well. I'm not up for cutting out a section of drywall, repaint...

Ah, now I see the thinking. In my scenario there won't be an "L" or "C" shape. I was planning to set this up so that it's whip hose to a 90° elbow then straight through the wall and a 90° elbow straight in to the regulator horizontally on the outside. Very little pipe showing at all, just the...

I'm more concerned about any vibration or weight causing drywall problems over time. I must be dense, but I don't see how the strap posted above would work with a pipe coming out of the wall on a perpendicular plane? Maybe I'm overthinking it and pipe through the wall is just fine? Electrical...

Ok still trying to sort this out. I've spec'd the black pipe to go through the wall, but can't find a solution to mount it to the stud/drywall for security. I'm going to do a 6" black pipe 3/4" through the wall with a 90 deg elbow on each side. The closet side will go to a whip to the...

Good point. I wasn't going to do an automatic drain, but definitely run the line over by the door so I can drain it regularly. I don't think I'll run it that often to need an automatic, unless just having pressure in the tank builds moisture on it's own? I can always install one if needed...

I'll take a look at HD this weekend and see what I see. I like the idea of a bulk head fitting with a quick connect on each side of the wall, but that may be getting too complex for what this is. I also have to go from 1/2" out of the compressor to 3/4" in to the regulator.

I can technically run Maxline through the wall, my concern with doing black pipe was trying to get it cut/threaded to size and all of that. It'll come out of the compressor which is about 16" from the wall, then go through the wall (6 inches thick or so?) then turn 90 degrees up to meet the...

When I built my shop, I built a 3' x 4' interior dimension closet to house a 60 gallon air compressor. The walls are sound deadening sheetrock and it's insulated as well. Ventilation is provided with a space between the solid core door and the threshold (think exterior type door and threshold)...

Everytime I complete a project in the new garage it re-affirms what a good idea it was. If any of you are on the fence, DO IT. I think I'm going to sleep out there one night this week and no I'm not joking. I've got some updates to a few things I'll post soon. Rockstar fridge is stocked and...

NICE! Mine is finally wrapped up and I'm moving in. Got a couple projects lined up already. Nice having some space for sure, thanks for all the tips.

Agreed, poor design by the engineers, or more likely bean counters. Add the $10 module to the original opener and charge $15 more. I'd have gladly paid a bit more to avoid the frustration and have to have this extra device to make it all work as it should.

Red is Glidden Cherry Red 00YR 15/510 Gray is Valspar Iron Frost 4007-2B Painter had them color matched at a local Porter Paint shop.

Called back and got a different, and very helpful rep. She is sending me the needed parts to fix the Homelink issue and even told me to call her when it came time to program to insure I had no issues.

Well, a snag. Seems this fancy smancy Liftmaster 8500 garage door opener has some new tech in it that isn't backward compatible with the HomeLink system in any of my cars. So I called Liftmaster and for the low low price of $36.99 they'll sell me a Homelink Bridge Kit to solve the problem. To...

Been organizing and putting together my Kobalt cabinets this week. I'll do a mini video review of some of this stuff. The Kobalt cabinets are pretty beefy and very easy to assemble. The finish is freaking tough. If you wait till black Friday or other sales at Lowes you can get these for a...

Good to know, thanks!
