    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    I've considered adding some more lighting ironically enough. I know the cans direct light in spot. I want to add some lighting towards the back of the garage by the work bench. We shall see. Need to finish cleaning and get the floor laid! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    The last project for the day was to hang the plywood to the left of the furnace so I can put the tire racks side by side. Without the plywood I could not get both tire racks mounted to the same 2x4 for structural support to withstand ~200lbs of wheels/tires. So went out and got a sanded...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    So after lunch we began to tackle the cabinet install. We began by deciding the height of the full set against the wall; threw a laser on the wall and hung a string of yarn to match the laser line. First we mounted the hanging brakets on the studs for the two locker cabinets and the two wall...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    So I get a call on Tuesday from my dad stating his recent work project was put on hold due to unscheduled work being done at the house. He asked if I can plan to take Wednesday off as he'll be free till Thursday. I immediately message my boss, TAKING WEDNESDAY OFF! Since the beginning of the...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    Honestly I am leaving them as is currently. Have tossed around the idea of sanding them and staining them to leave the wood exposed, but we'll see. That would be a massive project to undertake. May come at a later time. Plus with 3 massive south facing skylights and 15 LED can lights, it gets...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    I'll have a big update tonight, but will say this. When I unpacked everything I was impressed right away. From the packaging, to the cabinets themselves. There will always be better versions of everything out there, for me it comes down to this...is it really 2 or 3 times as better...? I was...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT From a "double" to a DOUBLE

    I've been eyeing a few different Eley reels as of late. Need one for the backyard that we can roll out and back up. Nice to hear a first hand experience about the quality and OG spec. :thumbup:

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    Monday came with more exciting news as two large pallets were delivered :bounce: Costco had a killer deal on a 10 piece pro set that I could not pass up. Had my eye on them for a while and they just happen to have a sale along with free shipping. At this time another day will have to come...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    Upon receiving the tiles I focused my attention to the walls of the garage. Luckily a majority of the hard work (taping, mudding, sanding) was already done when the garage was initially built. Only thing left to do was primer and paint. Now came the fun part of choosing colors. I had my heart...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    I know that I have made progress in de-cluttering but it is still very daunting with how much is in the garage. At this point in time I know that a shed will be necessary, but trying to tackle one project at a time. Hate having multiple ongoing/unfinished projects at a time, feel that it creates...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    In continuing with my updates I spent a week nights purging things that I knew were not worth keeping. Stuff that I have always wanted to get rid of but never put in the effort or really had an end goal in mind. I started by tossing out the old rubber mats. I have to say for being rubber mats...

    Finally Focusing on the Garage

    So I've been slacking, been tougher than I imagined trying to keep everything in order during this quarantine. So here are a slew of updates in various posts to keep it broken up vs one large post. Figure I would start by showing a quick dirty 3D drawing I put together of the space and how I...

    Really like your idea of stickering the inside of your cabinets. May have to do the same with mine!

    Pit Posse Motorcycle Tools

    In cleaning out our garage we have some left over parts from my Father in Laws motorcycle collection. First up is a Pit Posse Deluxe Balancing Stand. This item is still in the box, never taken out and used. All parts are still wrapped in plastic. Box is a bit beat up but does not affect the...
