    My new almost dream shop 25x32

    Hey Moto, Nice build! I'm also thinking of doing something similar but I'm going to use the maximum allowed by the city, about 25dx31wx19h. I would have hoped to have a second floor for a work-at-home office but the city is against it. So I will simply have a huuuuge storage attic and dedicate...

    Ketchup question

    According to the Man Rules and the Garage Rules, the shop fridge is for beer, youngling's juiceboxes and AA buddie's similibeer. So, the ketchup stays out in a cabinet.

    Boats taking up space.

    What kind of boat is it? Maybe you can jack it up and use the floorspace under it? If it's not shrinkwrapped, maybe you can use it as storage for a few seasonal items?

    I discovered this threat because I wanted to sort a huge ziploc full of disperse screws and bolts and nuts and nails.... After putting the sheetroc screws and the wood deck screws in my boxes I put all the other ones back in the ziploc... I'd need at least as much containers as there are...

    Starting from scratch

    Well, you're one step in front of me: you got a garage! ;) There are lots of ideas around here.. Check out Jack Olsen's garage; He put the cheapest ceramic tiles he could find and was ready to change them as they broke, but I haven't read a single post where one broke by accident - he had to...

    Best way to finance a new shop/garage

    Just an idea.. Maybe you could rent a spot in your garage? I don`t know where you live, but around here people will happily shell out about 90$/month for you to keep their summer car for the winter months. They are even ready to pay slightly more to have the right to do mechanic work! So say...

    Sweet Home 3D

    Yea, I realized that too.. I was modeling the house from the front and the kitchen in the rear end of the house ended up being pretty much more wishful than in reality :D There are some measures I just guessed like the ceiling heights but I think I'll have to be more serious about it and...

    TV size and location in garage?

    The day I'll have a garage (in about 4 years) I might get tired of the 55" in the living room and give it a new house in the garage ;) Since it has a VGA input I imagine I could use it a lot to check howtos, youtubes explanations, shop for parts and idle on GJ :D Bug seriously the main goal of...

    Storing Riding Mower Outside

    I store my push lawnmower under my balcony year-round. It rains on it in the summer and snows a little on it in the winter, but there's no place in the shed for that. I could at least get up my **** and put a tarp over it.

    clothes dryer output heat

    I was thinking maybe a "winter duct" where it would snake through the garage before going outside, and a "summer duct" that would dump outside using the straightest route.
