    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    In the garage, I finished polishing my buddies car.... BUT, in my woodshop I finished up this wall hanger for my Great Aunt and Uncle's surprise 50th anniversary party next weekend. I cut it with my CNC and then filled in the cut areas and polyurethane on all of it. I think it turned out...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I put Brakes and Rotors on the front of the Dart. It only has 43k miles on it, but whoever had it before me warped the rotors. I bought the coated power stop rotors and powerstop ceramic pads. They were cheaper from Rockauto than buying brakes/rotors locally. It didn't go as planned...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I made a set that looks the same quite a few years ago, but mine are made out of 3/4 boards. I only get 1 1/2" of lift, but it was enough so the front bumper of the car didn't hit when putting it on ramps.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Picked up a cheap little Dodge Dart to run back and forth to work in July. I finally got around to changing the Cabin Air filter yesterday evening. I'd say that this is likely the original filter from 2013... I also swapped out the dash speakers.

    Gladiator Garage Cabinets

    I have one of the same lockers in my garage and it's been full for probably 10 years. It holds a lot of detailing supplies and I don't complain about it for a second.

    Look on the back of it and see if it has anything stamped into it. Looks similar to one I had made by MBC(Metal Box Company).

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Front passenger side turn signal bulb went out on the Dart. I had to get my daughter to come out and fit her hands in the spot to change it because I couldn't get it. Saved me from having to remove the airbox to replace it.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I'm a couple days behind. I had elbow surgery today and had about a dozen things that needed done inside and outside of the garage the last week. The couple days leading up to it I changed the oil in my daughters kia and sanded/polished 1 of the headlights. I bought a Salvage Title Dart that...

    Raise detach shop roof?

    Not sure if it's an option, but that garage is pretty nice to try to tear part and put back together... Can you put an addition out either side of it for the higher ceiling height and use the current garage for parking/storage?

    What do you use to organize shop vacuum cleaner attachments?

    My shop vac is an older wall mounted craftsman and the bottom of it has a little storage area that folds down to store them in it.

    Finishing rooms in a metal garage

    You would need to stick build it inside the building and not use any of the outside walls for support. I would fasten the walls you build to the outside walls to tie it all together. If you are going to use over head storage, then put joists on top of the walls you build and put plywood on top...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I washed my WRX in the garage this morning before I headed to the carwash fundraiser. My car wasn't dirty at all, just dusty from sitting in the garage. Then I spent about 3 1/2 hours helping the kids wash other peoples cars in the heat. I can home, ate and went straight to the shower.

    Shop internet

    I've had them running internet to my garage for about 5 or 6 years now. It cuts down the speed a bit, but that's fine for my garage.

    Shop internet

    I'm usually not a smartass on here, but I swear this one is posted at least once a week and just went for it. I've suggested Power Line Ethernet adapters on the forum if they don't want to dig and route a Cat6 cable probably 50 times.

    battery powered lawnmowers

    I've had the EGO self propelled with the 7.5AH battery for over a year now. I got it on sale for a good price and have no regrets at all. I use it to trim areas in my lawn that my ZT won't get to and an area inside of a fence for one of the other lawns I mow.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Changed the oil in my Ram and rotated the tires. My front brake pads are pretty worn on the inside pads, so I got some pads and changed them while I had the wheels off.

    1/2" if you are going to go with drywall. I put 7/16" OSB on the walls and ceiling of my 12'x20' shed/wood shop and painted it.
