Or, it could be rounded, to heighten the "G" look.

Whether the site is .com, .net, or whatever, I assume it will have "garage" in it somehow. I'm of the mind that says keep the logo very simple, so it can be done in only one or two colors. I also think it would be good to do a logo that can be embroidered on the pocket area of a polo shirt, or...

It depends on what's going on in the space. If you're just doing repair or restoration work, it's hard to beat fluorescent in terms of lumens per watt. However, if you want the cars to look good, you have to watch the color temperature of the source. Even a "warm" fluorescent does not render...

Best $500 you could spend. Just make darn sure the floor is properly pitched to the drain. Unless you are going to run a car wash out of your garage, moisture will never be a problem.

When I built my house I thought a four car garage would be the answer to my prayers. I installed two lifts for extra parking and service work, and it's been great.....except I now have four hobby cars, my daily driver, my wife's Expedition, the lawn tractor and mower, 2 kayaks, etc. etc. Plus...

Looks good, Dave. I've been attracted to the pole barn concept as they are fairly common in my village and have certain advantages relative to less stringent permits, inspections, etc. I blew an email in to Stockade for info, but haven't heard back as yet. Have you determined what your final...

I spent last Saturday running a power circuit to the shop for my new plasma cutter. This weekend I intend to crank it up for the first time to cut out a new battery bracket for one of the cars. Anyone care to share any "do's or don'ts" regarding use of the plasma cutter? It's a new tool to me...

It's true that once you get the car up on casters it can be a big load for one guy to push. Since I am doomed to always work alone, I have developed a simple system for moving heavy loads (engines on cranes, cars on casters, etc.) I got myself one of those inexpensive 12 volt winches, and...

Mine's in the slab, and I have this little ritual I like to follow when it's below zero outside. I crank up the boiler, get the floor nice and toasty, and then wash the cars in my bare feet. Sometimes I even cook up a brat and have a beer. Reminds me of summer! You can always dial the ol'...

Hello all. I'm building a new garage that will be a modernist, mini-museum type of space. To avoid interior door hardware I want to use real carriage doors. (swing doors) Just wondering if anyone has done this. My usual hardware sources are not coming up with attractive choices for hinges...

Hi. I'm designing a new free-standing garage for my collector cars. I want to use real carriage doors (swing doors) so that I can eliminate any unsightly lift tracks and openers on the inside of the space. It's going to be a "minimalist", art gallery type of environment. Just wondering if anyone...

Since I'm an Architect I thought I'd reply. It's best you question your Building Department to pin them down on requirements. If they just need drawings prepared to scale, that's one thing. Sealed drawings are another deal altogether. By affixing his seal to a drawing the Architect certifies...
