Yup, thats how i got the second coat of paint on! lol If all you knew about me was from this thread then you might think that i must spend all my time working on/in the garage. So I just want to let it be known that i spend just as ,uch time holding him and taking care of him as his mother -...

I don't think I shared a good photo of the landscaping I did between the new workshop and the house. Here it is, along with the new patio: And yes I'm aware that the firepit is probably too close to the deck. I haven't actually used it yet, it's mostly for display, but if I ever do then I...

Oh and I forgot to mention that if I seal it then it needs to be a QUICK AND EASY job! I got in trouble yesterday with the lady after spending 3 hours painting the walls. We have a newborn baby and he was crying a lot yesterday. I think my wife will kill me if I leave her with a screaming baby...

awesome, thank you!

I poured the concrete myself and, with help from friends, we got it as smooth as we could with cheap hand tools and a rented mag bull float. It is not flat at all, not very smooth, and has several imperfections. Which I am ok with. But before I move everything into the room, I thought I would...

I'm thinking the same thing. The dark green is the color we have in our dining room and I love it. But I wouldn't paint the ceiling black with that wall color! That is why I need to decide now before I work on the ceiling. And my wife is buying me a tool chest from Harbor Freight for xmas and...

I finished the drywall on the last wall and painted it "ambiguous grey" having second thoughts on the red wall paint which do you like better, the red or the dark green?

Just turned on power to the shop! All outlets working on the first try. I convinced my wife to take the little one with her to IKEA, giving me enough time to finish the electrical work. I couldn't find a 100 amp breaker for my home's breaker box at either Menards or Homeless Despot, but I was...

I added an exterior light outside the shop door: On the inside, I'm almost done with all the drywall, except for the ceiling. Not looking forward to that. I was going to re-use this old bench, but now I think I'm going to toss it and build a new one. Something custom. I can't wait to...

So this is what I'm dealing with on the inside... But I was able to get one wall hung with drywall and painted. I went with this moody red which I like a lot. I'm going for a dark (yet well lit) lounge vibe. I *might* even paint the ceiling black, like this:

i finished the wall insulation, and today i went and got the drywall. while i was buying that, i got the interior paint too. red for the walls and black for the ceiling! going for a lounge vibe. and getting the electrical done one piece at a time, as time allows. right now im typing one handed...

For some dumb reason, I've been using my 1-2 hours of free time a day to build this retaining wall and landscaping borders, instead of finish the electrical.

Thanks!!

That is one way to do it, known as the open valley design, the other way is what I did and is known as the closed valley design.

Here's the video I just added to youtube for my garage addition project. Check out the link in my signature to see the build here or GJ.

Yes, Owen was born last Friday and we are home now. As I was warned by virtually everybody, there's really no time anymore for working on projects. But I will still try to squeeze an hour hear and there into finishing the wiring and building the interior (workbench, cabinets, drywall, lights...

Hi guys, here's the video! https://youtu.be/6vKLI7uwVdw

Passed the framing and rough electrical inspections! Today is my wife's due date! Going to be a dad any minute now, probably this weekend Youtube video coming soon...

I think I've seen that episode of TOH where they use the rain diverter or a door. Actually, I think think I've seen every episode lol.

For the gutters, I wanted to keep the look of the exposed rafter tails. So I made these "faux rafter tail gutter brackets" With the gutter installed, it looks pretty good in my opinion! The downspout goes into a drain pipe that I buried when I had the trenching machine on site to dig the...
