    Red RaceDeck Free Flow Tiles

    I know red is a popular color for many garages. For those that chose to install some red free flow tiles can you post some up close pictures? I called RaceDeck and ordered some free samples. Customer service was top notch and I am happy with the product quality. I’m just not thrilled with the...

    Thinking About Dual Gen 2 HF 44’s

    I already have dual gen1 44’s. They’ve been good and I have no complaints. Just I like the sublime green and think the 22” depth might be nice. I have read there are some differences between gen1 and gen2 but not up on all the details. Mainly worried about durability, slide quality, etc. I got...

    Rolled Curb in Garage

    I've owned a few places and understand it's not uncommon to have a raised curb/footing in the garage area. In those situations, the walls normally sit flush (or near flush, within an inch or so) of the straight curb/footing. However, this new place we moved into has a rolled curb. And like...

    Wood vs Unistrut vs 80/20?

    New state. New place. Time to build a new workbench and get my stuff in order. Will house two existing 44" HF toolboxes, a 42" wide sit space and 24" wide space that will house one of those portable A/C's that will be vented to the outside. Not sure how that will work yet. I have my doubts...

    Upgrade & Expand Existing Lighting

    We recently moved and my new garage is roughly 22’x22’. Ceilings are about 8’ tall and flat with exception to a beam that runs across. There is living space directly above so I’m not looking to expose anything. Current lighting is decent considering I only have 2 bulbs (plus the garage door...

    Add a Small Space + New AC Drop

    I have a small space that I am thinking about closing in. I haven't put a tape on it, but am guessing it's around 8'x6'. The way it is positioned makes it easy to close up. I don't have super elaborate plans. It's essentially framed out. I just need to tweak for a door. I have 1 wall I...

    Painting Metal Cabinets & Shelves

    I recently picked up some metal cabinets & shelf units off Craigslist. While functionally great, they need some TLC. I'd like to throw on a coat of paint on them to help the aesthetics -- probably black or a dark grey. One unit is about 72" x 36" x 18" with metal lockable doors. The other is...

    Anyone Using Drafting Cabinets?

    I have an opportunity to pick up some of these. The guy I am talking to has about 40 sets of them. Each one measures roughly 18" tall x 32" deep x 43" wide. He wants $40 per cabinet, which seems reasonable. I currently have 2 sets of 44" HF cabinets for my tools, but thinking about snagging...

    How's Your Race Deck Tiles Holding Up?

    Just curious how everyone's RD tiles are holding up after several years of abuse. Post some pictures -- preferably when they were new and their current condition. Any complaints, or things you'd do differently? And by chance, anyone mix the 18" and 12" tiles together? I know several have...

    Help Staining My Fence

    I have about 400’ of 6’ wood privacy fence that is only a few years old but beginning to look like ****. As part of the clean up process I will be replacing a few pickets, and also replacing a small damaged section. Otherwise, the plan is to simply power wash and stain the fence. In reality...

    Metal vs Wood Cabinets & Benches

    I've always built my own stuff before from wood. However, I'm contemplating buying metal cabinets for this new place. Assuming they fit the space, etc. what is your preference and why? What got me thinking about it is there is a 14.5' stretch of New Age cabinets from HD on sale for...

    My Mystery Guest...Moisture

    I walked into the garage to discover this (see pics below). We moved in the house last summer. It's rained before. I noticed it once but thought I was losing my mind. Just to be clear, no one was toying around in the garage. My wife goes to work before I do. She walked from house to car...

    Gun Storage

    Just curious what kind of inventive ways you guys have come up with to store your guns. Maybe it's in your garage/shed, or maybe it's a piece of custom cabinetry you made in your garage that is used in your house. Or maybe you took the traditional approach of a safe and somehow blended in with...
