Check out my thread for some lighting methods that I used. I used several different styles of lighting so it might give you a few ideas. First, that looks like a pretty poor job on the concrete. There is a difference between a properly finished surface and a polished surface. It appears...

A buddy of mine said he saw my garage in a bunch of YouTube videos. He sent me the following link. I don't know if I should be creeped out or flattered haha. 50 Garage Lighting Ideas For Men There are a few other Garage Journal builds in these videos as well.

Thanks for the compliments, glad you enjoyed my build. :beer:

Its a lot of fun, thanks! :beer:

Here are a few shots with the fluorescent lights on, it doesn't look like I have any pictures with only them on and no other lighting. It kind of ***** trying to take a picture with them on b/c they are so bright that most cameras automatically adjust and darken the photo. All I can say is...

Thanks very much! :beer:

Thanks for the read throughs on my thread and thank you for the compliments on my garage. The community I live in its a bit of a mixture of fenced and non fenced yards. Where we stopped with the sod was just short of the property line with my neighbor there. I've talked with that neighbor...

One of the reasons I built this garage was to have a space to work on my hobbies, one of which was snowmobiling and snowmobile racing. I had to set snowmobiling aside with starting a family and dealing with construction and renovations for the past 4 years but finally this year I got the green...

Thanks! :beer:

Since you have the liftmaster garage door opener you can just add their internet gateway module. I think I paid ~$20 for mine. It allows you to control the door with your phone, sends you alerts when the doors open and close and for how long they have been open or closed. The nice thing is...

When you've gotten your quotes from RaceDeck have you mentioned to the Garage Journal discount to them? I ordered mine in two different batches and was given the GJ discount on both orders. It was far cheaper to have it shipped to a shipping depot at the border and then just drive across and...

$2500 is a lot of money for that amount of square feet, if it would have cost me that much per square foot I would never have put racedeck in my garages.

Very impressive build, just did a quick read through and I look forward to more updates.

Ah ok, I have never heard that terminology before. We call it tongue and groove here. I must have missed the comment about the stars on houses.

When I was designing my garage I posted a potential layout on Facebook, and one of my construction worker friends pointed out the error in the depth of my garage right away. I was only going to have it 25 deep and 28 wide, he pointed out that I wouldn't have enough room to work on the truck...

Well I do get it dirty, and we work on stuff in there all the time, I just do my best to keep it clean while doing so. One of the stipulations of my wife getting on board with this project was that I had to guarantee to keep the garage clean. Not sure what you mean by car siding, but the...

Our homebrew ventilation system in the attached garage seems to be functioning very well so far. Normally our garage windows would be heavy with condensation and they remain clear with the fan kicking in occasionally, usually after a vehicle pulls in.

Thanks very much! I can't seem to find the puck lights I used from my local hardware store online anywhere. But they are basically a generic xenon puck light kit much like this one...

Had an issue with my original image host. I've restored a lot of the after pics for the house remodel this morning, I just have to upload the before pictures again.

Thanks for the compliments! I haven't ever really had much moisture to speak of on the garage doors. The overhang keeps a lot of the weather off of them, and there is a ventilation system in place to keep condensation off of the inside of them. We did anticipate that water might drip off the...
