Hello all, I am wanting to build an overhead loft-style storage platform in my garage. I'm running out of floor space but have plenty of overhead space with 10 ft walls and 14 ft vaulted ceilings. Steel is my material of choice to match my steel workbench and desk. I am wanting 10-12 ft long...

Hey guys. I'm in the final stages of my detached garage project (build thread forthcoming). I've had a 240v outlet powered in there for a couple weeks now for a heater which has been working just fine until last night. I have a 100A sub panel off of my 200A house main. The only thing running in...

Hey guys, Here is a rough sketch of my lighting plan for my new garage that I'm building. Its 24x30 with 10ft walls. In the picture, where the 2 garage doors are, the ceiling will be 10ft (loft storage area). The remaining 20ft will be vaulted ceiling of around 13-14ft at the peak. Everything...

I'm going to be building a garage this summer and I'm limited on my width to still have room to drive between the house and the garage for back yard access. At 26ft wide I have about 12ft between structures. Can anyone who has more experience with garages tell me if there are any pros or cons...

Anybody have any experience with these guys. They offer a lot of garage plans as well as house.

after buying 4 cabinets and planning to hang them side by side I have discovered that I can't, at least not directly to the wall. The holes on the mounting brackets are 16" (stud distance) but the cabinets are about 3" wider on each side. SO... my idea is to mount 1x4x8's to the studs and then...

First off, I know this is probably a split topic in terms of DIY vs. professional. I am a fairly competent DIY'er and safety conscious individual (not looking to blow up my kids and wife.... well maybe....no, never mind). Moving on, I want to run a NG heater in my garage and that would require...

After having issues with epoxy-coat.com on my walls (my fault, not theirs) http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73291 I decided to do my floor and despite my ignorance and best efforts, it turned out nice. I would have to say, it's almost fool proof! Never having done this before...

:eek: So that's what I learned this AM after trying to use epoxy-coat.com's epoxy on my 18" garage foundation wall. After spending more time than I should have chasing subtle runs in the epoxy and trying cover high spots on the top of the wall, I was delighted to look over and see half of my...

I'm about ready to do my floor with epoxy-coat. The literature says it has about a 15-20 min work time before it sets up at about 70 deg and faster if hotter. Right now I am in the high 90's. My floor is about 21x22 and I am wanting to do it in sections like the directions say. So here's my...

right now its a combo of Styrofoam insulation with wording and spray-in hardening foam sealer. Any examples of ways you guys have covered or otherwise prettied up the inside of your garage doors? Thanx

I CANNOT decide on a color combo, and its driving me crazy. Heres on that I think i like. Whats your take or advice?

I'm in the process "man-caving" my garage. I will be done with the dry-wall soon and will then be hitting the floors with epoxy-coat. What are some ideas for covering the foundation wall? I almost think they are a bit to tall for carrying the epoxy up onto, plus they are pretty rough on the...

I tried to search but didn't find anything specific... Would like to see some pics of black floors. Thanks.

Hi. I have been lurking and reading/dreaming for a while now. I have an attached 22x24ft garage that the Boss-lady gave the "go ahead" on for finishing for my 40th B-day. I do some self wrenching and like to do some custom building and fabricating. I am currently working on a custom cafe...

I have a 110 lb blaster from HF. This guy: http://images.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/95000-95099/95014.gif Eastwood sells a "conversion kit" for $130.00 :o :o :o http://www.eastwood.com/soda-blasting-retro-fit-kit.html# that doesn't look like more than $15-$20 worth of brass fittings and hose...
