    Re: New garage in Kentucky *UPDATE* Time for a long overdue update. Progress on the garage has been slow and intermittent due other higher-priority projects and life in general. Two bathroom remodels, a kitchen remodel, a new covered porch build just to name a few... Back to the garage...

    Can anyone help ID this vise? I think it is a Wilton or maybe a knock-off? I picked up this and another one for $10 at an auction in Cincinnati a few years back... The other vise, a smaller, old, 4 1/2 inch Craftsman was in much better condition and has already been restored for...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Garage Refurb®

    Re: garage refurb Nice work on everything, Eric. You may not be a "professional" mason or carpenter but your workmanship is excellent. I have found that we "amateurs" who are well researched and committed to doing it right usually turn out a higher quality end result than the "pros" do. I...

    Cooper Heavy Industries: One guy's garage

    FJ in post #7 made a good call on the overhead door solution. Extend the straight track further up the wall and relocate the curved section closer to your ceiling. This will keep the door, when opened, closer to the ceiling and will give you more overhead space for the lift. It will also...
