I don't think so, one wall is common with the house which has a foam-like drywall material behind it (fire resistant probably) 2 of the other sides are exterior walls brick on the outside- drywall inside and of course the last is just an uninsulated 16' steel garage door. I never noticed any...

I just installed this very nice Craftsman unit (rebranded Chamberlain) and talk about quiet !!!! Hit all the hinges with some silicone and WOW ! Belt drive is awesome and has a battery back-up. Wait for a sale ,got all the goodies with it for $170, for a 3/4 with all the bells and whistles...

I am partial to black, but as stated Red is traditional. I have a Plum Crazy Matco box that I wouldn't get rid off though . decisions,decisions :headscrat

This is gonna be very nice !Considering doing cans in some the the workspace if not all. With all the options and styles , did you find a good value light for this application?, if so where ? oh yeah......Nice Beam! :thumbup:

Detroit Suburb = Cold , Sometimes long. I plan on insulating the ceiling and door, but the walls are already up (suggestions?) @RAYJAY ~ I understand that gas would be cheaper , but with limited use it may make more sense and and be cosmetically better looking on the outside of the house .(curb...

I know there are numerous posts on everyone else's different specific heating dilemma, so I thought I would play along. I have a drywalled 20x20 attached garage without insulation that I plan to heat (and insulate).I already have a Reznor UDAP 30 Nat.Gas furnace that I could use but with all the...

Well like most places in the northern hemisphere winter is approaching and insulating my 16' door will soon become a necessity, thanks for looking for advice for us all.

Good advice, although it may seem obvious, as I get excited adding on to a garage project sometimes I get anxious and overlook common sense practices :bounce:

Nope, The more pics usually the better. Alot of people like myself learn well from explainations including pictures versus just highly detailed descriptions. Looking good :thumbup:

+1 on the soffit design = 184, I believe is the running total of acknowledgements of your storage solution. This is an exceptional garage and absolutely stunning car. I'm way too much of a pack rat to ever believe that I could have such a clean look like yours or Jack Olsen's garage. But both...

I couldn't possibly ever consider a house WITHOUT a basement :wtf:. Just bought a nice 1,700 sq ft. ranch in Michigan but one of the selling points of the house ( wasn't the 20 x20 garage :( was the 1,700 sq ft unfinished blank slate of a basement. Will have a 10 x 20 shop in the basement which...

I'll be running black pipe or ridgid conduit. The PVC arguments have merit but after reading several discussions on potential "de-galvanizing" I also have semi-dismissed these "Don't use this product" warnings. Don't get me wrong ,I like a good value (pvc cost)and consider myself cheap on...

Thanks for the heads up on the ridgid conduit pricing, will have to investigate in the next run to the store.

I just happened to pick up a vanity sink base yesterday with a smaller side drawer set-up. Thought about doing this aswell as soon as I seen it just sitting there at the curb. After seeing yours I'm gonna look more for a kitchen base now and may leave what I found out for another curb shopper...

Very,Very Nice. Now that you have an audience make sure to take lots of pics for us please. Great work :thumbup:

test...........successful

How much were the materials and rental ? Looks outstanding! Great Job :thumbup:

Apparently some of us "Detroiters" have come late to the party. I'm willing to catch up , how bout you guys?

I guess I have been extremely lucky in the past. Although a few of my vehicles have been broken into, nothing has ever left my garage. I had a detached garage on a corner house lot where the garage faced the side street 70ft from the house. I lived just outside of Detroit and on multiple...
