Hey I know this is suppposed to be for garages only, but the patio does sit outside the garage and I need some help/ideas. When it was poured I had them put some large 3'x3' or so squares in the cement, with the intent of cutting in some smaller tiles by scoring with a cement blade in the...

Well for my Bday, my family surprised me with a new set of Makita drills (the small ratchet one is great) and two of those 60" industrial fans that HD sells. I wired them into the garage door openers, since that was my only constant power in the ceiling. I of course used the supplied reostat...

Hey folks I saw awhile back a garage that has a elevator for the lower level. Where would one get something like this, and more important, the price? Thanks.

I've got a hobby or two that somehow take up too much of my time, but one of those hobby's is a car wash. Yeah I thought it would be fun, but then I can't leave well enough alone, so I figured why not fix the thing up. Anyone here have a suggestion for an epoxy that could be sprayed on, that...

It's only 27f outside and a nice 60f inside. It's so nice washing your vehicle inside on such a lousy day, while watching the Seahawks/Cardinals game. It's good to have the Man Zone!!

Well now that the floor is done (except for the cracks) I started to move back into the garage. Today we put some plywood under our old Navy surplus cabinets and added wheels. I was going to have them painted but they sort of match. I also got to put up my Costco special Whalen 8ft work...

Wow, it's here. Actually it got here fairly fast considering when it was shipped. Now the scary part. It was all dropped shipped from Weaver industries as quality rejects. His website says over runs and the like, not rejects. Maybe I should just send it back now. What do you guys think...

After a false start a few months ago (put in AC instead)I did place the order for Budget Bob. I figure I might as well be the one to go out on a limb and try it. After you folks see how great this product is you can all pay my one dollar to offset the cost.:bowdown: No really, I'll keep you...

Well I've had the AC in for almost two weeks and I do love it, however I wish that I would have had more cooling capacity. It is 96f today and it keeps up okay, but it can't pull it down very well even on a cooler day. When you open a door and pull a truck in it bumps up a couple of degrees...

Hey folks I just thought that I would post this piece of art. My wife got this for my birthday from Garage Scenes(no association). It can be mounted this way or using wallpaper adhesive, it could be mounted directly on the wall. The wrinkles should come out after a few days. BTW they...

The floor will have to wait until next month, as I couldn't pass up this deal. Our crack HVAC guy put in the wrong size compressor for one side of our house and so after he put in the correct unit we had this 2 ton left over. Since it was slightly used I suggested puting it in the garage...

Don't know if you folks are aware, but Costco has a Whalen 8' steel work bench with a 1 3/8" butcher block top for $200.00. I haven't set mine up yet as I am waiting to do the floor first, but it is one solid unit. Package wieght is 200lbs. It looks like 4" powder coated steel and is I...

Well after using Griots in our last garage I am finally ready to do it again, only this time it's much bigger. Although I was happy with Griots garage paint, I wanted something thicker so that I can cover imperfections in the cement without a ton of prep. I heard about Budget Bob from this...

Thanks to this board, I did the calculation for fluorescent wattage per square foot and I found out that these 20" sqaure ones from Home Depot came in pretty close. Not only that they were slightly different than the usual garage lights and were cheaper too. I managed to get thirteen of them...

They installed the Reznor 45k btu today. I am glad that I didnt' tackle it. It took a slow "pro" a full day to do it. Much better job than I could have done. The tv is nice to have, now the floor is next. I can't wait.

It's supposed to be about a 170 yards of concrete and they plan on doing it in one day. I wanted it smooth with lines cut in so we can run the go-karts that we plan to get on it. BTW the pic is a few days old. The forms are pretty much done. I am hoping to beat the weather and get a floor...

I would like some input on lighting. I was going to put in 15 three tube t8 fixtures. Well I lost a few fluorescents to the garage door openers being so close to the ceiling and add in budget cuts and I was then thinking about going with the 15 cans. The electricians left me with loops...

I saw some very nice three tube t8's at costco yesterday. They were a half circle design that was meant to be hung. I can't remember the brand but they were fully enclosed with grey metal ends and they included the tubes for about $56.00. Anyone else seen them? I want to say they were by...

Finally got it started. I just wish that I had more than 9' of headroom, but I've already got my wife on board to build a out building. That will most likely be next year. Garage is 36'D by 40'W with two 16' doors. I've got two drains in the garage and will also have a hot/cold bib...

We are about to pour the garage and I am getting some hassle because I want it poured over poly so I don't have any moisture issues with epoxy floor paint. Just exactly how much longer does it take to cure over poly versus non-poly? Should I just skip the poly? BTW we get about 17" of rain...
