    G Floor Roll out flooring??

    I found the G floor to be very slippery below freezing temperatures and when that included snow and ice I got rid of them before injury occurred. That said, I don't have any real experience in summer conditions.

    in-swing vs. out-swing hinged doors for garage

    I converted a big box steel door by removing the brick mold and threshold and reversing them. I tested the hinge pins but was unable to remove them with a hammer and a drift. There is a step up into this garage so snow buildup is not an issue. In all it makes more sense to order a reverse door...

    Re-skinning a fiberglass garage door?

    I disassembled a door like that last year in order to recycle the aluminum parts as I tore down the garage. Removing the panels from their frames would be impossible without destruction, and adding any weight to that light door, other than paint, would likely overload the flimsy hardware. Paint...

    Advantage Lift 4-Post

    I've been looking at that lift as well. It suits me because of it size, it's included features, it is 110v and requires no air. As I understand, it cannot be certified (ALI?) because of the manual safety latch, which does not bother me.

    Trying to figure out garage high in a potential purchase,

    If I assume that the man door is 7ft at the top of the header, then stack an imaginary second door above it... I come up with 14ft to the truss.

    Garage mat for snow and slop under car

    I got the G Floor mats on sale at Menards for about 150.00. I put them on the slab outside and found that they were slippery when wet and treacherous with anything frozen on them. I had to remove them until spring. Inside, or in a heated garage they should be fine as long as puddles don't freeze...

    The Garage Attic Retracting Stairway

    A very clean build and a nice car as well. I wonder if you couldn't bring that stair down by lifting the counterweight? Maybe a lever on a foot pedal?

    Garade door openers

    When I was a kid my buddy's folks had one of the first tv's with a wireless remote It worked on sound waves, like a tuning fork. When the dog would walk in and scratch at his chain collar the tv would go nuts. My buddy would then beat the dog. I'm sure this is of no use to you but, don't look...
