    Sonic MSS+ cabinets

    Obsessed Garage has a video that shows them in detail. Pricing looks comparable to Moduline, at least for the array I would be looking at, although they look beefier than Moduline. This will also be the basis for my workbench, and I'm wary of aluminum.

    Sonic MSS+ cabinets

    Has anyone seen these? They look really nice and really expensive. But I'm wondering if this is one of those situations where you get what you pay for.

    Kneehole . . . or not

    Thanks for all the responses; I'm going to leave space for a kneehole. If I was tight on storage I might skip it, but I've got plenty of storage (famous last words).

    Kneehole . . . or not

    The more I think about it, the more I think I will want one. Also need to keep in mind I'm not getting any younger; I might be doing more sitting in the future. Also, depending on the cabinets I go with, there might be a roller available that could park in the kneehole so as not to sacrifice...

    Kneehole . . . or not

    I'm designing a new work area and trying to decide about whether to create a "kneehole" under the workbench by leaving out a base cabinet. In my last garage, there was a kneehole. I did have a swivel seat, and did find myself sitting there to read a manual or diagram, clean up a small part...

    Should I add a vent fan?

    I had a vent fan on a timer in my last garage; I tinker with old (pre-PCV) cars, and the exhaust fumes can build up, even with the doors open. Will probably add one to the garage I'm currently redoing as well.

    cabinet top workbenches

    I'm trying to decide on cabinets and workbench for my garage remodel. I'm used to a butcher block workbench on wooden frame, which was tough enough for my wrenching and projects (I'd describe it as medium-duty use). But I'm a little nervous about relying on the workbenches that come with the...

    Does anyone pay for a monthly home warranty service?

    I also had one included on the house I bought a bit less that an year ago. They paid $325 toward a replacement toilet, got all locks rekeyed at move-in, had a leaky hot water dispenser tank replaced, and had a dishwasher error code issue resolved. Meanwhile, pool fill valve replacement and...

    Armor Garage Hidden Seam tiles

    Thanks for that detailed report. As the owner of a car with 60 year old original black lacquer on it, I must admit I can't imagine having black tile, except perhaps under the tires. I'm sure that like my car, it looks great when its clean, but keeping it that way would be pretty labor intensive!

    "Franchise" epoxy installers

    Thanks for the tips. A couple of the places I am talking to I did get from Angie's List. One of the outfits, GarageExperts, claims to make their own epoxy product, including a "wicking" epoxy primer that soaks into the concrete, and an aspartic top coat. So hopefully not too many levels of...

    "Franchise" epoxy installers

    As I mull over flooring options, going back and forth between tile and epoxy, I wanted to get bids on epoxy/polyurea installs. The places near me all appear to be franchised or perhaps regional "chain" garage storage/remodel outfits - Garage Solutions, which appears to be associated with Premier...

    Armor Garage Hidden Seam tiles

    One thing I'm realizing is that these water-tight PVC tiles are not cheap; looks like they are in the same ballpark as a professional epoxy job. I need to get some quotes, but if the cost is comparable, I may just go the epoxy route.

    Armor Garage Hidden Seam tiles

    I've been digging further into the Armor tiles on their website, and it appears that most of their tiles, not just the "seamless" ones are watertight. And they claim that that there is both an anti-staining additive (apparently an option/upgrade) or another cleaner/maintainer product that you...

    Armor Garage Hidden Seam tiles

    Thanks. I will look at those as well. I did have some tire staining on the tiles in my former garage (having heavy old garage queens that would often sit for a week or two didn't help).

    Armor Garage Hidden Seam tiles

    Does anyone have any experience with this product? After researching here and speaking with Justin at Garage Flooring, I had become convinced that epoxy is the best choice for my garage floor project even though I like the look and feel of tile, primarily because epoxy will not allow water and...

    I like tiles but . . . .

    Justin: Thanks for your reply. Missed that window to call you this morning because I'm finalizing deal to buy the garage (and house) at issue. Will email you directly to find another time to talk.

    I like tiles but . . . .

    New registrant but long-time lurker here. Did a garage for my plus-sized garage queens about 14 years ago, using a heavy vinyl tile called Lok-Tile that is apparently no longer made. I do a lot of tinkering and detailing and small household projects, but not much heavy duty work in the garage...
