So here are a couple pictures of those window wells you were asking for. Sorry it took me so long to upload them: And the latest status photo: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great job! I look forward to seeing more. I really like your boxes and the great idea to use cork. It looks awesome! I'm curious, I'm about to paint the floor of my three-car garage, how many gallons did you use of RB on that two-car section to get the 2.5 coats? Sent from my iPhone using...

Just thought I would add a couple more photos of our progress: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info everyone. My ceilings at 12' so they shouldn't get in the way. It's also finished in Sheetrock and painted white with a satin finish so I'm thinking the light should reflect quite well. I'll check tomorrow on how easily I can move them to fit my rafters. I'm not sure if the...

Thanks for the heads-up! I guess I was more concerned about light quality before confirming they'd actually work for me. I haven't even seen them in person yet but for $2 each in working condition I thought I should ****** them up. I've had good success buying used equipment from schools before...

Ditto. Also, Velcro doesn't last as long and you constantly need to clean the dust out to improve adhesion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found some light fixtures that were removed from a university for a great price but I don't know much about semi-indirect lighting. What ceiling height do I need? Do they heat up the ceiling too much? Is the light adequate for working on projects in the garage? If I used them in my 3-car...

I've had the Makita for about two years and it's still running strong. I like it quite a bit, and it's the best electric sander I've used since the older PC orbital sanders. ~ KJ

Thanks, that makes sense. ~ KJ

Maybe I missed something, but why not use sheetrock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey! I'm also building a home that's very similar with a three bay garage. I'm jealous of the 31' depth. Mine is only 24' but much larger than my previous 2-car. Can't wait to see the progress on yours, it looks good so far. Here is mine for reference: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to the Utah desert! And thanks for the suggestions above about water, drains, and electric. I'll be sure to post the details when I do my garage gallery thread. I have lots of questions and would like to hear the opinions of the experts here on GJ soon. Sent from my iPhone using...

Thanks for the info! I may just steal this idea because I have lots of extra 3/4" oak T&G leftover from my wood floor install in my last house. We just poured the garage floor on my new house so I'm anxious to get in there and start building my shop space finally. I think your bench top looks...

The land is very flat so it would have been costly to dig and build an outside access. Although it would have been nice we decided not to make one. Those window wells are just corrugated sheet metal, probably the most typical product used around here for window wells. Don Long, this is Utah...

Just wanted to add a couple pictures. We got the floor poured finally now that we're experiencing temps close to the 40's. The last few weeks have been single digits so that put a halt on construction. As soon as we start framing and I get a chance to take some more pics I'll start a gallery...

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I haven't met with the electrician yet, that should happen in a couple weeks and I intend to wire up lots of outlets, including three 220v for my (future) compressor, table saw upgrade, and planer upgrade. Now that I have the space I can finally...

Awesome build! Is that bench top just solid 3/4" wood flooring tacked onto OSB? Great idea! ~ KJ

It's a daylight basement with 9' ceilings. The footprint is something like 1200 sq/ft and it's two stories plus the basement, 3,800 overall.. (We have a big family!) I'm just thrilled to finally have a space of my own. I do cabinet refinishing, build furniture, collect OWWM and tune up my cars...

Hi All, We just sold our first home which had a two car garage where I use to park the minivan, store my tools and woodworking machines. I had big plans to set it up as my dedicated wood shop but just couldn't come up with any good ideas that would allow for good project flow, and allow my wife...
