Re: Geek's Garage @ 8000ft. great thread, subscribed. im digging all your plans/ideas/executions thus far. Nice work!

Im hoping to get the flooring prepped today while the primer continues to set up. I'm not sure how long before I can walk on the B4, does anyone know? I'd like to get in there later tonight to coat the trim in final black.

I'm always interested in the product people use so here's a dump of what I've used so far. Primer - Zinnser Gardz - This stuff is impressive. It's super hard to find unfortunately. Luckily I had a gallon leftover and it did the entire room w/ extra leftover. It is the color and consistency of...

I started my lighting quest with the 4' LED fixtures from Costco (GJ recommended). I didn't like the idea of plugging them in so I decided to look into ways to hardwire them. Thats when I found (also on GJ) that is illegal and fixtures plugged in are typically lower quality and throw away. I...

Busy weekend and last night. Walls were prepped, primed, painted, and some millwork and lighting/electric done. Getting close! Racedeck arrived last week which lit a fire under me. I can't wait to lay it down. Next steps are more painting, concrete treatment, flooring, baseboard, trim doors...

Does anyone have any issues with their wireless garage door opener with the LEDs? I have a Raynor opener with a wireless keypad and it was so buggy. I called tech support and they said that 2 things mess w/ the signal: LED's and aluminum. I had LED lights installed and the keypad mounted to...

I noticed the same thing and started my search at Menards. No luck tho. No response from lyrebird either

I decided on doing Race Deck for the flooring. I started my flooring quest with Epoxy but the concrete is too beat up. Next I considered tile but again too beat up. Race Deck ended up being perfect for what I need. It will look great and perform its intended duties under a car, but also enables...

First step is to get the ceiling and walls sealed up. I started by framing and insulating the exterior walls. I had some leftover product from the renovation which was just enough to get the job done. The product is called Insofast and it's basically 2 inch foam with plastic 'studs' that fit...

After 6 months of a full gut rehab, here's what it looked like when I moved in. The interior pictures are recent but it's been untouched since moving in (too many other projects). changes: New garage door, belt driven opener, partially drywalled ceiling over the existing plaster, blown in...

Attached to my split level home is a 13x20 garage with modest 7.5' ceilings. The garage is attached to our Family room and the path to the sub basement is through the garage. The goal for this space is to be multi-purpose. It will be a space for the kids to play around in and will also house a...

I suppose its worth referencing that i get better lighting from these CFL's than I do from the tubes. Brighter and more spread. http://i.imgur.com/z6L7yrs.jpg Whats 25-25-25-? What about working in freezing temps? Is there a better option to flourescent for a garage that works in cold weather...

I have a small garage (13x20) that I need to light. Most here seem to end up w/ 4' tubes but I'm leaning away from tubes because I was unimpressed w/ them in my shed (ref: I lined three 4 foot double T8 fixtures in my shed celiing and the light is ok but not great)...

DUBBER, that is a perfect example. That's exactly the color scheme I had in mind. I was contemplating Red as well and the fact that you have examples of both is nuts. Thanks! Justin, Thanks for that info. I just read your same recommendation on another thread and was prepping my cart at HD and...

Wow, that top right one is absolutely what I am looking for. Beautiful. I was able to track it down to a company in Australia. They do some amazing work. http://www.lyrebird.com.au/carports_&_patios.html I've contacted sales to see if they sell in the US. Stay tuned...

First of all I'd like to state that I'm very impressed by RD's customer service and presence on this forum. As I get older I worry less about pinching pennies and instead look for quality products and a company willing to stand behind them. When I decided that a floating floor was right for me I...

What do you recommend for prep under the race deck?

Another Chester Co resident checking in. Great thread, thanks for sharing. Love the woodworking project details, keep em coming. Seems like a lot of locals on here too, we should setup some sort of side group for local contacts.
