    Made a lot of progress this last week! We put two coats of primer down - this brought out a lot of imperfections in the drywall. The friend who I was painting with and I couldn't keep painting knowing this. He offered to come out Wednesday during the day while I was at work and add a skim...

    Maxjax Epoxy anchors where to buy?

    This is laughable. I received a Max Jax that had a valve that was mislabeled which port was IN and had the wrong port blocked off. This caused me over four hours of frustration unhooking and re-hooking up hoses while spilling hydraulic fluid all over and wasting a lot of Teflon tape. Granted it...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    This is the exact setup I bought - although I ordered the housings from the original link and they are taking much longer to ship. Platonic - what will be the major difference between these bulbs and the original 18w "frosted lens" bulbs posted. These are 19.5w and 270deg angle. ?

    35' x 19' x 9' ceilings ( 665 sq ft) 75,000 BTU Modine Hot Dawg I saw most sites recommend 20k per car garage. (ex: 60k for 3 car) I have about 3.5 almost 4 car so I got the 75k because it was only $40 more than the 60k.

    So I was in Home Depot a lot over the holidays and I kept seeing this 52" Husky box for $500. I finally looked it up online and it said 550 online. Then I remembered I could use a Lowes coupon at Home Depot and I have had about 20 10% off lowes coupons show up in the mail since I moved in. So I...

    Do you use a service cart?

    I was also thinking of something like this. Move all your common tools to it that you almost always use into the drawers so it is their permanent location and then you free up more space in the "main" tool box for the specialty tools. The plastic carts and what not are good to have if you have...

    Thanks for the replies! After spending some time out there last night working on the Harley I decided to keep the door because working in that corner is tight when a car is on the lift anyways. I will most likely build a work bench in the middle of the garage. I found a guy to do the drywall...

    Figured I would make a thread since I am finally making some progress! In August my girlfriend and I started looking for houses - after a townhouse fell thru in September we decided to look more at houses. A nice ranch with a basically 4 car garage with 3 doors came up in our search and we...
