I’m in the final details of organizing my new garage with 12 foot ceilings. I have cabinets mounted in many places at what is more or less a “normal “cabinet height. I have room to mount another row above those cabinets for more long-term storage. Besides it probably looking a little strange...

I’ve spent a decent amount of time here asking questions about garage storage. The funny thing to me is now that I have moved most of my top cabinets in and I have an array of bottom cabinets from a kitchen that was given to me, I’m leaning heavily towards giving my old metal kitchen cabinets a...

So, I have now read at least most of the threads here regarding the various things one can to install/use a winch in the workshop. I have a steady 4% slope out of the 3 doors of my garage. For each, there could be (likely, in fact) times when I need to push a non-running car in. 99% of the...

Looking for High shelf storage ideas. I have 12’ ceilings in my garage/workshop and my original hope was to be able to hang shelves from the trusses for high storage. I have a huge “inventory” of spares for my cars mostly in like size flip top tubs , like this: My hope was to be able to...

I put an APB out on my neighborhood Facebook page for anyone re-doing their kitchen & throwing out cabinets. Turns out I have a neighbor who has what look like very nice kitchen cabinets with granite countertops and they want to get rid of everything. Curious if anyone here has used granite for...

So, thanks everyone here who has given helpful feedback along the way as I have had this built (see photo). I am down to the last few steps of my garage build and I have a concrete guy who I generally feel good about using. We are planning on pulling out the existing driveway and putting new...

So, This is a rather easy one. My stick built garage I have three windows and it is time to pick out what kind. From a practical standpoint is there any preference I should have over double hung or casement style? My gut feeling is casement, realizing that they are slightly more money but in...

I have a combination of rebar & wire mesh laid out in a slab ready to pour (probably wednesday). This is all on a plastic vapor barrier. The rebar was sort of an afterthought on the part of the builder, but was left over from the helluva wall we built for the back wall of the garage. Right...

Attached here is the floor plan for my garage. It's 3 doors & for me (working on '60s/'70s/'80s Fiats mostly) it's either an easy 6 car parking or 3-4ish car working garage & I expect most of the time it will be somewhere in between. With this configuration, I roughly have 3 aisles that will...

A shorter length/runner 4 post lift Maybe what I have in mind is not a common idea, or at least not so common in the US...anyone know of a decent model/brand of 4 post lift that has a shorter footprint than the typical 15ish feet? I want to find one to be able to stack some of my small cars...

Hopefully the subject here makes sense. I'm starting construction on a garage (actually, unfortunately I'm hiring almost all of it) and attached is a photo of the excavation area. It's not the whole excavation....we are using the opportunity of having the equipment on site to take our...

I’ve had maybe too much time to think about how to lay out the garage I am building (still doing grade work & very delayed with rain at the moment). The intent of this garage is to use as flex space for indoor parking/storage of semi-regular drivers and also to have (with some of those drivers...

I'm closing in on a design of a custom garage that at the moment seems to have landed on 28' x 48' in size (partially due to space, partially architecturally..in theory it would be easier for it to get longer/shorter than deeper). The garage will be built into an area where currently there...
