880sqft garage with 19' vaulted ceiling attached to another 16x18 garage with maybe 12' ceiling height. Everything is mostly insulated and working to finish it off by this winter. Currently, I've been heating it with electric heat and I can fairly easily keep it 60+ in middle of South Central...

I have a slight dip where my drain is. Covers maybe a 4 tile area. Is there any chance I could heat and gently mold the tiles to drop down in this area vs trying to build it up? Maybe even some ideas to shim the tiles but allow water to flow through? If not I'll work on floating it even with...

Finally ordered one and got it last week. So nice compared to my delta 12". Trying to decide if keep it sell the delta. Might be nice for real rough work to save dealt blades. That's another convo i guess. As of right now my dust collection is a bigger shop vac on an auto switch to a...

Trying to get ready to pull the trigger here, but a few things I'm trying to think through.... 1) The plan for my 32' deep x 26' wide garage is a field of black diamond solid. Then a 2' perimeter x 20' of red free flow, with the center of it being 4' wide free flow also. I'd fill that field...

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on some Racedeck flooring, but want to go over a few questions first.... FWIW, I'm watching a youtube review as well and I've been looking through other posts on the subject. What I'm thinking is primarily a black field in diamond with the shock towers...

Have some of my old Matchbox and Hot wheel cars, been trying to decide what to do with them and how to possibly display them. I'm also trying to decide how to finish the bathroom area of my garage. The room is just over 3' wide and maybe 6' deep, so not much room for much to hang on walls if...

I noticed advantage lifts/ backyard buddy is offering a universal 4 post lift winch mount. My 4 post happens to be an advantage lift, so I know the mount will work and I have a 112v harbor freight winch that I got to lift a jeep hardtop and other things, but not using for the hard top. In...

Thinking of running with 'kitchen' cabinets in my garage. I know some say they don't belong there.....I have my reasons. Mainly the customization aspect. Curious what others have done. Any pics? Currently debating between maple in-stock Lowes/other big box painted cabinets. I really think...

I need something to put down in my garage. I originally thought garage tiles, Seemed to get talked out of that because I might grind or weld in there. Most of that wouldn't likely happen in the garage, but can't rule it out. I currently have a mix of anti fatigue mats and a decent size...

I'm getting to the point I am ready to start plumbing my garage for some permanent air lines. What's a good material to use? Black pipe? Galvanized? Copper? Pex water line? Not using pvc!

Would a baseboard be a terrible idea in the garage for supplemental heat to a ceiling mounted electric heater? It'd be on opposite side of garage. I do some woodwork and I do work on my cars and occasionally weld something. I have one I'm no longer using and I think I have access to...

I'm trying to figure out where to place an air compressor in my newly built shop. I'll add that I haven't purchased one yet, so I'm pretty flexible on style/size, but I'll post my desires/uses are and maybe I can get feedback on that as well. The shop is a 26'w x 32'd with 12' sidewalls and...

What have others done here? I've noticed when I have a car stowed on my lift, which is 90% of the time, it's pretty dark under the lift. Lift goes up to 6'9" under the ramps when all the way up and if I try to work under there on anything other than the car on the lift, it's fairly dark...

I've been debating installing a DIY solar system on my garage roof. (it would likely be with the aid of a Master Electrician Friend whom is also an electrical engineer) So far we've only lightly discussed and I'm trying to calculate my needs to determine cost to come up with a budget. It's...

I built a detached garage this past year and I keep trying to figure out how to best heat it without costing a small fortune. 26'x32' with 12' sidewalls and peaked interior roofline with scissor trusses, so about 19' to peak inside at bottom of bottom cord of truss. I currently have a wall...

So I've been building a garage for the last year and I'm almost done with the siding, so this winter I plan to move inside to finish it out. Yes, it's been going slow, but that's life. The plan is to use corrugated tin on the walls up to about the 4' mark. The trim will all be 2x6...

Got my 4 post installed a few weeks back and I've slowly been playing with it. Both with vehicle storage and a maintenance items I've been putting off on our vehicles. The one I got was an Advantage DX-9000-XLT. I'm considering lighting for under the lift platform as well as on top of the...

I am looking at Tool Chests and looking for some feedback. Craftsman is out as I just can't bring myself to buy much of anything from this line after being burned enough times over the years on their lifetime warranty tools being un-lifetime warrantied. I had liked the Kobalt line but my 4...

I'm just finishing up my garage build and looking for flooring options. Original thought was an epoxy of sorts, I've scrapped that idea I believe and now I'm leaning towards just sealing the concrete so it doesn't stain, but I know that's pretty final on the finish of the concrete end...

Kind of a 2 part question. I just built a new garage and I've passed all the inspections, just waiting to install siding so I can get my final. I ordered a 4 post lift back in December and it just arrived today in the warehouse. A contractor friend of mine said wait to put it in garage...
