Congrats !

Looks great !! Much better than having to clean that **** off the cars ! I'll just have to look forward to NEXT winter, but for this week I was cleaning that New Hampshire snow/slush off four cars in the driveway. :sad: If I recall some of your posts, I think I may just be in the next town...

Trying process to have pics show up before I start build thread. But I do as attachments, so text is not inserted in between ?

They do list concrete as a substrate: http://www.finishmaster.com/prod/assets/RLT-TDS-US.pdf And indicate that concrete should be sealed before applying.

" How many Garage Journal members does it take to screw in a light bulb ? "

You may have spelling off a bit, brand name is Feit, not Felt. http://www.feit.com/led-lamps/LED_Utility_Lights

Good first step might be to visit the town Building Dept and ask what the foundation/slab requirements are. They are going to issue permit so can tell you if monolithic slab is OK versus footing and stem wall. I am also in southern NH and my detached garage is requiring footings and frost...

I'll be adding some details here in the next few weeks. Just starting to quote a large garage foundation here in Southern New Hampshire.....(trying not to let this post get me worried LOL). I think I'll be quoting excavation separate, and have details on the foundation wall - some 8' and some...

Here's an example of inserting items from the Sketchup models - lift, specific cars, garage doors, etc....

My side yard looks VERY similar this week !! Twelve trees came down over the weekend ! Cleaning up brush and logs. Working on excavation and concrete quotes. Hope to be starting a build thread soon !

Converting to a torsion spring jack shaft set-up and a Liftmaster 8500 will remove all of the springs and opener from the ceiling, and meet your "quiet" requirement. And any good garage door guy should be able to change the tracks for your existing garage door so that they are right up on the...

Another 20+ year 4-post owner never bolted. No issues. Yes, I have used the caster kit to move it, and have changed location of lift without leaving holes in the floor.

Ya - missed out on this Costco deal for the last of the discontinued LED fixtures

Here in Massachusetts / New Hampshire, Costso is telling me that the old Feit item #917972 is discontinued (last ones went quick at $19.99 after an instant $10 rebate at the register). New item #689518 is replacement according to a very helpful Costco guy - these may be linkable. But no date...

Yup - At least 10 different terms in parentheses that mean the same thing: (Wikipedia) " A French drain or weeping tile (also blind drain, rubble drain, rock drain, drain tile, perimeter drain, land drain, French ditch, sub-surface drain, sub-soil drain or agricultural drain) is a trench filled...

Little feedback on a few of your thoughts: - I've been using my 4-post for 20+ years of service work and storage and have never had an issue not having it bolted down. - Not sure why folks shy away from moving a 4-post lift. When I sold my house, I dis-assembled, moved, and re-assembled my...

I just saw this thread and that you are also in New Hampshire. You could have gotten LED 4-ft complete fixtures at Home Depot under your $25 point. They had the Commercial Electric brand for about $32, and a mail-in rebate for $10 back on each ! Net = $22. I have two in shop and one in...

I kept our old oven in the garage and used it for powder coating. I put casters on it so it could be stashed away when not in use, AND made a plywood&metL flat top to cover over the burners so it could become another work surface. Heck, I would even store stuff in it when not in use. By using...

Here's my first pass at using Sketchup for my soon-to-be garage. Pulling in specific cars and shop equipment, etc is really neat

Welcome !
