Some new updates on my house and garage. Ever since sealing our house up and making it much more energy efficient, we have been dealing with our indoor humidity being out of control in the colder months of the year. After looking at a few options we decided to install an HRV (Heat Recovery...

Thanks for your read through of my thread. I will fix up the pictures on page 31, thanks for pointing that out. :thumbup:

Wow, and I thought I had good attention to detail! Very nice build, really enjoyed your thread, especially how you finished the exterior of the garage with the copper accents, and your use of concrete and brick.

I agree. I was a fan of this stuff based on looks alone but now that I've had a seasonal cleaning cycle with it I like it all over again. My next job before fall will be cleaning the floor in the detached garage. I don't have the ability to drag the flooring outside like with the attached...

Thanks! :thumbup: I didn't know there was that option. I just went to the paint store I use for everything else and asked what was the best and most cost effective option and they recommended the spray paint I used. If it costs me $20 in paint and a couple hours of my time once every 2-3...

Thanks, I really like it too. If I could change one thing it would have been to make it larger, but since it was a last minute addition to the plans, I had to work within the dimensions already set.

Its weird, now with a fresh coat of paint they just sort of blend into the driveway better. They were more noticeable with a bit of surface rust I guess.

Part of the bi-annual maintenance of the drainage trench is taking all the grates out and giving them a coat of paint. While the grates are out we also take the opportunity to give the trench a good cleaning. Result of 4 XL spray cans of Rustoleum Rust Paint in glossy black and they are...

Having those oversized door openings may come in handy. Maybe you could resize the one to be a standard size but leave the last one larger in case you want to moving something bigger into your shop sometime. The garage doors on my detached garage are custom size and custom track design, I...

You have much cooler temper than me, hats off to you for not losing your mind like I would have.

Haha yeah pretty much. :beer:

My wife was like "what are you doing with my scale?" as I walked past her carrying it outside. I didn't answer and she followed me out to see me weighing a garbage bag on the driveway on her bathroom scale, she just shook her head and walked back inside. The inside is graphite, the outer trim...

I wanted to post an update of how the free flow race deck tiles looked and worked after a long and messy Canadian winter. My wife pulls her SUV in and out of this garage several times a day all winter long, bringing in tons of slush and slop, snow, salt, gravel, sand, etc. We did absolutely...

My image host decided to block Garage Journal, I've got the majority of photos in my thread rehosted now.

Thanks for creating a backup of my build photos. I was able to restore the majority of the photos in a bit better resolution now. Thanks very much again for the compliments. I don't mind if people copy my ideas, I definitely borrowed from others as well for certain aspects of my garage and...

Hey grizzlyjmg, I've sorted out the problem with my photos, most of them are restored now, and by tonight I will have all of them fixed. Thank you for the compliments on my garage. The gun case cabinet is one of my favorite features for sure. I think when we sell this house eventually, these...

Looks like the image host I was using started blocking Garage Journal for whatever reason. I spent a few hours and moved the images to another hosting service. Most of them have been restored, and when possible I uploaded them in a slightly higher resolution.

Ah yeah, I didn't notice the price had jumped up so much, with the exchange rate it was only around $200 CAD when I bought it, and it came with an outdoor rated 4 speed switch as well so I felt like it was a good value. I wouldn't have bought it at the current price for sure. You're right...

This is the outdoor rated fan that I used on our covered deck. http://amzn.com/B002K8DBOC It moves a ridiculous amount of air and unless its on the highest setting you can't even hear it. I don't know if they are available in Canada or not, but I had it shipped to me from the states.

I am not sure what happened. I have been away from the forums for a bit, I will do some investigating and figure out what happened.
