I have a corner behind the third bay of my garage that I'm going to build a screen wall 7' high. Many neighbors have them to store their trash cans, etc. The entrance area is completely hidden to any neighbors or the street (wooded preserve behind us). The plan: Dry pour a 9'x10'x4"...

My plan in retirement has always been to restore cars and bikes. I've done a few over the years but have never done paint work other than single stage. My buddy lives about two hours away and has painted twenty or so of his projects. He is going to help me when I get everything ready for...

I bought a Liftmaster 98022 wall mount opener when I installed my high lift door kit a few months ago. The door worked great until a couple of weeks ago. Once in a while when shutting the door, it would stop about 8" from closing and reverse. If I hit the button again, it would close. The...

I installed a Senville 24k BTU mini split for my 740 sqft garage. I was being so careful and went so slow but still kinked the larger copper line. I thought if I rerouted the lines I could make it reach but it was too short once I cut out the kink. Since I removed 5 feet, I had some to play...

We moved into our new house the week after Thanksgiving (2024) and I had many "interior" (wife) projects that had to be completed before I could get to the garage. I've been working on it a few weeks and still have a ways to go. There is a lot of things to purge but at least it's under...

We close on our new house Wednesday. I already have approval from the Architectural Review Board in the 'hood to put a 10'x12' addition on the back of the garage for a shed. It has to have a hip roof that blends with the existing hip roof. I'm trying to draw up how I'm going to stick build...

I was planning on an overhead lift a extending the top plate above the ceiling. But I've decided to go with garage floor tiles and thinking about baseplate lift. Then routing the the bottom of the tiles the depth of the baseplate and placing them over it. Thoughts?

I have 740 sqft of garage to cover. I found Hybrid-X tiles that are 17"x17"x.65" that are Made in Tennessee. A guy on FB Marketplace sells them for $2 sqft. Home Depot sells them for over $5 sqft. Has anyone used these?

In order to minimize hose lengths, this is where I'd like to put the Cassettes. Thoughts? Do I need dual zone? Thanks!

We'll be moving into to our new house in early December. I'm planning for a 2 post overhead lift but only have a 10'6" ceiling. I want an overhead because I don't want to deal with a baseplate and I think overhead has another level of safety if anchors break free (could be wrong). I've...

I recently retired and my wife and I move to Fernandina Beach, FL from Atlanta. I'm 61 and have been wrenching on things for as long as I can remember. I've restored a few cars over the years which will be my hobby in retirement. I retired as a CIO but in when I was 14, I started working in a...
