    A thousand-dollar air compressor?

    I'm looking for a compressor to run some shop tools and a HVLP paint setup. This will be going in a garage in your typical little subdivision with close neighbors. My neighbors have been pretty awesome about me wrenching in my garage, and I'd like to keep them (and the HOA) happy by not getting...

    Insulation worth it?

    Imagine your typical suburban house - 10 feet on either side between you and your neighbors. The garage walls between you and your neighbors are sheetrocked, but not insulated. Is it worth it to rip down the sheetrock and insulate, or would the results not be worth the effort? Is there a way to...

    Replacing a small light with many big ones?

    Right now, my garage has this pitiful little 60W light bulb in it. I'd like to take that out and replace it with 12-16 dual-T8 LED light fixtures. Like most on here, I'd also like to do a lot of the work myself. Here's the rub: I don't know a damned thing about this kind of work. I'm operating...

    So I'm looking at the specs for the house we're going to have built, and I notice that the builder's plans call for a 20.5' x 22' garage with a 16' door. I didn't really think anything of it until I tried to put a pair of full-sized sedans in the picture. Their mirrors are almost touching! Okay...

    What flooring is this?

    For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed about having a garage like the F1 teams have. She who must be obeyed, the keeper of the purse strings, has granted me a boon. My Christmas present this year is that we get to go to our home builder, and tell them, "We want a house." Our down payment...

    Any 12x20 ideas?

    Hi guys, long time reader, first(ish) time poster. Some of the most beautiful garages I have ever seen are on this board. Folks here have come up with brilliant methods of organizing, hiding, and/or storing their tools. I've been introduced to brands I didn't know existed, and given second...
