Hey all, If you were planning a 12x16 gazebo for your yard, what kind of power options and lighting would you plan for? I'm going to run power to it from the house, but don't want to go overboard, but also don't want to not have enough. Possible consumers... Ceiling fan Strings of lights...

I'm looking at making wall and pantry style cabinets for my garage. Should I make the pantrys in 24 or 36" deep? Wall cabinets at 12" or 18" deep?

I was almost done with my floor after numerous delays from the materials not being shipped to me, me getting the flu and the fact that I'm typically home only a couple days a week due to me being on the road for work. Guess what happens? I open the last batch of grey epoxy, mix it up, and lay...

Hello folks, I'm going to have to do my epoxy floor this weekend by myself and am looking for pointers to make it go 'smoothly'. I've got just over 650 sq/ft to finish.

I just ordered an epoxy kit and realized that I didn't get the shoes. I looked on the site and $40.00 seems steep for a 1 time use so I'm looking for a less expensive alternative. Any takers?

I'm going to be laying down an epoxy floor next week and it may rain the day(s) I'm working on it. How will excessive moisture impact the curing of the floor, or should I wait? I'm running out of 'warm' days here in Portland so I need to get it done asap. Thanks.

I've got a bit of a problem. Dust from my garage wall project has 'stuck' to my exposed agregate driveway and it looks 'milky'. I've tried power-washing and in some spots, it seems to work, but in others not so good. Any suggestions short of going back in time and having a kid with a shopvac...

I'm looking to install a mini-split in my garage, but the wall I want to install it on isn't an exterior wall. I would need the line to run up a foot and then horizontal for 10-15 feet before going outside and down the wall. Is this feasible for proper draining and gas flow operation? The...

I'm almost at the painting stage and would like to know what you guys use. Eggshell, satin, flat, what and why?

I'm looking at doing the floor in my garage and would like to see a picture or two of where someone has put down a heavy coat of flakes to make 'parking spots' on the floor. I'm thinking of a light grey floor w/dark grey parking squares. I would do it in epoxy but I'm kind scared of the bleed...

Hello all, I'm looking into HVAC for my 650sq/ft 3-car garage that has insulated walls and doors. I got accosted by a salesman at the local home and garden show who came out and went on endlessly about the mini-split system and how well it will work for my application. Is he full of it or do...

I just looked at Premier Garage's cabinets that are a red powdercoat finish. How is this process done? I thought you had to have a conductive surface to powdercoat.

I've got a 650sq/ft garage that needs flooring. I'm torn between paying for acrylic (what the local contractor presented to me), epoxy by them, or getting something like the Wolverine floor kit and doing it myself (and saving $). I get analysis paralysis trying to dig through all the posts, so...

A local metal fab shop quoted me $355 for a 16gauge stainless steel countertop for my workbench that's 9'x28" with a 4" backsplash and a rolled front edge that's 1.5" high plus an additional return on the bottom to keep from getting cut on the edge. Is this a fair price?
