I'm almost done staging my lumber ready to start framing my garage and want to make sure I have this detail right... I'm going for a 12' ceiling height, so Menards supplied 12' studs. I haven't taken the plastic wrap off the pallet of studs yet so I'm not sure how consistent they are, but a...

Getting ready to start framing on my garage build and I got to thinking about the logistics of tool storage when not working... I'll have a chop saw, table saw, skill saw, drills/drivers, nailers, compressor, hand tools and so on. What do I do with it all when I'm done working for the day...

Another topic looking for advice for my upcoming garage build -- I'm gradually learning everything I need to! :eyecrazy: So I want running water in my shop -- no bathroom facilities for reasons I've listed elsewhere, but I do want a utility sink to wash up in before going back in the house, and...

Planning a 36' x 56' garage divided into two internal spaces, a three car parking garage and an adjoining workshop. Footing and block wall foundation, floating slab, stick framed 2x6 @ 24 OC. I'm planning to condition the workshop with hydronic but not the parking area, so the internal wall...

Posting here instead of on my build thread in hopes of more eyes... :lol_hitti I'm planning on building a 36' x 56' foot garage / shop. The south end will be sectioned off as a three car parking garage, the remainder is going to be my shop. My question is will I have enough shear strength in...

So I decided for my upcoming garage build that I'd rather not have stem walls, and so I've been looking into doing a monolithic slab. I was looking into an insulated shallow foundation but (a) it doesn't sound like it would be permitted here and (b) I worry about termites and other critters. A...

So I recently picked up a fairly rough 1970 Mustang (it was a 302 4-speed originally, but a previous owner swapped in a 351W and 3-speed auto). It needs driver's door glass and brakes to start with, so I started tearing down the breaks for rebuild, and got stuck. The driver's side rear drum was...

TL/DR version: planning deck ~10' x 15' + two 10' x 5' "wings" and need to pull permits; looking for information on code requirements and/or advice on construction. Plans below for 2x6 @ 16 OC framing set on concrete block pads on grade. On to the details: My wife wants a greenhouse and a...

Found this on my local CL tonight... too good to be true? Sounds like a heck of a deal to me... 2435 Piece Bolt Assortment W/ 40 Hole Bin, $250: https://dayton.craigslist.org/bfs/5974586700.html Ad says other hardware grades and selections are also available. Would you trust the quality of...

So this all began almost 3 years ago as I was getting ready to close on my first home. The one thing the property lacked was a garage -- it had a huge barn and an equipment/woodshed that housed firewood, a 1980s vintage Ford 4600 tractor and a riding mower (both included in the sale)... but...

So I checked HD, Lowes, and Menards: 16' is the widest garage door any of them sell, and apart from one 10' option, 9' seems to the max for singles. I was therefore planning on either three 9x8s or one 9x8 and a 16x8. Then I tried backing my truck into my MIL's garage and discovered I only had...

...stumbled onto GJ :-) I'm looking to build myself a garage, so I was looking for information on how to go about the initial site prep before trenching for footings, and how to deal with a sloping grade. That got me to a thread in the Garage Gallery; it may have been this one by Falcon67, or...
