Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I didn't know if that could be done or not. Yeah, it was approximatly 1000lbs when you count the weight of the water, tank, gravel, rocks & substrate & the lighting canopy that was on it.

Anyone have info on insulating garage exterior walls? The walls are finished already & I don't want to tear out the sheet rock to insulate them. I was considering blowing in some cellulose to fill them up, but no clue on how to do that. I tried doing a search on here but came up empty on helpful...

Tell me about it. I've been on here for about a year or so, but hadn't really paid much attention to the site. I came here looking for tool box recommendations a week ago & now I'm contemplating what I'm going to do with the plain floors, walls, & cooling my garage. I'm already broke, I didn't...

68-69 at night & 70 during the day, although it get up to about 74 in the lat afternoon trying to keep up with the Texas sunshine. Winter, we keep it at 67-70.

With that awesome floor you have in your garage, the LED panels might be a good choice. Florescents will really reflect off of it if they are not diffused properly, but it's hard to beat the availability & price of florescents. I'm not sure there really are any cons to the LED's other than the...

You can run the conduit on the interior of the wall, unless you don't like the way it looks. Running it outside of the garage & then back into the wall, creates more penetrations that are potential problems due to weather & critters. Is it an older house? I'm guessing here, but Is it old enough...

Very cool! I like the whole Garage Oasis idea as well.

Dang! Nice garage. I'm also geeking out over the fact that you have a bridge leading up to your garage! What kind of flooring is that? I have no clue what I am going to do with the walls or floor of my garage. So I've been scanning the gallery all day looking at everyone's stuff.

I'm diggin those benches! Nice shop too!

Looks like you will have a plenty of space when it's all done.

Very cool. Sounds like a great project.

I'll try to get some pics of the buggy progress on here. I haven't done anything to it lately other than mount the body to the ceiling so it will be out of the way when I work on the pan & finish wiring the garage. It's been so hot, that I have retreated from the garage during the days lately...

Here's my workbench that I built a couple of years ago. It is all that remains of my old 105 gallon planted aquarium after the tank split a seam on me. Added some heavy duty HF casters to it, used the plywood from the light canopy for an interior shelf, some extra scrap wood, pegboard & pegs...

I am holding off on wiring the other side of the man cave for now. I still don't know what I want to do with the walls & I don't need the power over there for another month or so when it cools off enough to work in there again. I also don't know exactly where I want to put a compressor yet, so I...

First order of business was to get power to both sides of the garage. When we moved in, it only had one outlet in the whole garage & two piddly screw mount compact florescent lights on the ceiling. My FIL is an electrician, so he came up during our kid’s spring break to help me wire the breaker...

When I joined GJ, I had started a garage post in the welcome thread, but we moved since then. We've been in our current house for almost a year & basically I kept nudging my wife to buy this house instead of a few others we that she liked better because of the garage upgrade. So yes, I did in...

My wife decided that we needed to update much f the lighting in our old house. I was thrilled when light after light I pulled down had no box behind it. Every light I removed just had just a hole knocked through the sheet rock with a hammer that the wires were pulled through. Retrofitting those...

You could always build a hoist system to hang them from the ceiling joists. That's what I have done with my fiberglass dune buggy body while I work on the chassis. I don't have a hoist/pulley system since this is basically a 1 time deal, I just paid some buddies in beer to come help me lift it...

Interex, I'm in the Keller/NRH area.

I'd like to have that old blue chevy parked next to the school bus. Might be a GMC model though since the hood looks post 62 & the grill/headlights look 60-61. That lift would fit nicely in the shop out on the farm.
