Searching proved problematic as there were a lot of threads where the tool discussion was mixed into the lift discussion. I'm looking for the "best" tall oil catch/drain container to use under a two-post lift. I realize that "best" is very subjective, so here are my criteria: * I want to be...

My new building is going to have a powered fan and powered louver. I'd like to cycle the fan 15 minutes of the hour (to keep the air fresh and to vent stinky race car smells) and have an override. I've found some in-wall switches that could drive the 1/4HP motor, but the timing selections all...

I am doing a large garage build and would like to be able to wash cars in the building. You can find out more in my build thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=325666 Here's the tentative floor plan (move the lift to the left in your mind, but basically doesn't matter)...

As I'm waiting for design / engineering drawings to come back on the metal building (see my build thread for background), I'm looking into whether or not I should get plumbing, or at least make the provisions for plumbing. I had my plumber out to provide an estimate on running the water service...

I tried changing the title in the first post of my thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=325666 But it isn't showing up that way in the forum section. If a mod could change the thread/post/whatever title to "Default 50x38 Detached Metal Garage Build" to match the first...

Sketchup changed their business model and completely hamstrung the free tooling. Trying to create a floorplan with it is proving miserable. Short of grabbing some graph paper, what software (free?) are people using to lay out floor plans?

I'm progressing with my shop build and will end up with a building that's longer than it is wide, but not by much (38x48). So that's ~1800sqft on the ground but it's a farmhouse style building with a high gable in the middle (3:12 gabled roof). 14' wall height. This is outside Atlanta, Georgia...

So, the topic is a bit of a lie. I'm actually trying to deal with my basement, but the problem is relevant to anyone that is building a garage with traditional insulation/drywall/framing. Although you'd probably have framing and a roof before insulation.... I have a new construction home and...

So this is a bit of a jumble of a newb question but hear me out. Many years ago I bought some Auto Dollys -- the little V shaped metal ones with four poly caster wheels on them: http://theautodolly.com/the-auto-dolly-line/the-auto-dolly/ When I got them I was super excited, and I put my heavy...

There are a lot of "designing a garage" threads here, and I intend to poke through a bunch of them, but I wanted to get some of my thoughts down. We're trying to buy a house that can accommodate an extra detached garage, so I figure I might as well try to plan it out (and cost it out!) to see if...
