I am finishing up a 2300 SqFt Hobby Shop and just about ready to start populating it with stuff. What stuff? How is it all gonna fit? See below (sorry -- my OCD kicked in and I got pretty detailed): GENERAL • Build as big as you can afford/fit on your property. • You gotta know your plan inside...

North Dakota - you have already received some great advice. I used the identical layout you IDed in your original post. My pour was in the first week of December 2019 -- after 14 months the only cracks are where the control cuts led them to be. I have 3-5 cracks that are from the end of the cut...

Ronn Just came back from my garage -- he is the skinny on the height of the stainless steel table. My previous response gave the original dimensions. The first attached photo shows the original ends of the legs. There is an inch of adjustment available on them. Allows leveling and a little...

Nice call, Shorty. Let me check into those. Craig

Ronn The only bench I have completed is one of the two stainless steel benches (the other is still in the shipping box -- long story). It is 8 feet long x 30 inches deep and advertised as 35 inches tall. I opted for the casters which I think adds 2 or 3 inches -- I'll measure tomorrow...

I think I can declare the initial build of my garage "finished" -- if that goal is ever to be attained. The last of the out-sourced installs was completed this morning The crew showed up on schedule and completed the install in 3 hours. I took a bunch of photos but in hindsight they all look...

Bill You don't mention, although you likely have researched it: electricity. I just finished my hobby shop. I placed 110v outlets every 4 feet along the walls (I opted for 20 amps each vice the more common 15 amp outlet's); they are also 4 feet up from the floor. This placement eliminates...

I need to do some repair and paint touch up on my '70s-80's Accel Ignition Systems Display Cabinet Case. Anyone know the paint? or maybe a current yellow paint that is close? -- the touch up will be inside the cubby at the base. TIA

Shorty-- that is my exact approach. I am fully expecting to rearrange each drawer multiple times and still not be satisfied. Thanx -- but I gotta admit you sent me to the Urban Dictionary on that one. Joe -- I have been planning this shop for nearly 14 years. Good things come to those who...

A frisson is a thrilling shiver. Some people love roller coasters so much that they feel a frisson of excitement just looking at one. You're just as likely to feel a frisson whether you're scared or excited; its meaning lies directly between thrill and fear.

Next up -- do a little cleaning and painting on a 70's Accel Ignition Products Display Cabinet. Any one know the proper paint to match Accel yellow? It's hard to see in the photo but the black base is pretty rusty. Gonna wire-brush it, put on Eastwood's rust encapsulater and paint it black.

I used Schaller's drawer builder (https://www.schallercorporation.com/drawer-builder/) and three hours playing tetris. Captions tell story

Still waiting for the installers to return to erect the 2-poster. So I started bringing in and organizing the smaller stuff. This weekend: how to fit this (photo 1) into this (photo 2)

Here's mine Came with a 90° mounting bracket Looks like we have the same controller The "Traffic Light Ahead" road sign is waiting for me to build a "room divider" (I have a 4' x 8' sheet of 1/2" plywood left over form the build of the garage that will do nicely) on casters to hopefully...

SXRacerB25 These photos ought to answer your first question The poles on the left of the fist photo (wall with 2 windows) are 9 feet apart while the poles on the wall to the right are 8 feet apart. Notice the only bracing between the poles is to attach the outlet boxes (every 4 feet unless a...

One step forward -- One step backward The crew arrived on site at 0930 this mourning (05JAN21) to deliver/install my lift. While they were unpacking/unloading and laying out the various pieces on the garage floor, the phone rang. It was my house cleaner. It seems she was here last Thursday...

Jayman17 -- thanx for asking and welcome back I think there are two actions I can take for a long term solution: 1. Once the de-icing cable and mother nature clears the blockage, this spring (sooner if the weather cooperates) I plan to run a fish tape down the drain from the clean out in the...

Shorty - at this point, I'm wishing I did as well. -- Craig

Well -- this bathroom of mine has been troublesome. The latest is a case of two steps forward and one back. On 28DEC20- the plumbing company finally showed up to install the fixtures (not the shower cabinet -- that is another looong and ugly story). They installed the toilet and vanity/sink and...
