Well here are pictures of my 3 week journey. I'm having an ATV/UTV ride next weekend to kick off the completion of my garage bar. It's not much but it's good enough for us... Enjoy the pictures, and any advice on items to add would be much appreciated. I'm still torn on mini fridge or kegerator...

Well, I decided to build a bar in our garage next to our Sauna in hopes that we would use the sauna more. Well I am almost finished with the bar and I am trying to decide what I should put on the top. I would like to then cover in a clear resin. Any cool ideas out there? :rocker:

I am looking to expand to have a larger shelter for firewood storage. Any ideas? Thanks

OSB ceiling is complete and I am now ready to blow in cellulose insulation. I put osb straight to the trusses with no plastic barrier in between. Is it possible to blow cellulose straight onto the osb without a plastic barrier? Do I need to install any attic ventilation? Thanks

Here is my situation. I am not concerned about a constant temp nor am I worried about heating all the time. I am looking for a thermostat that will do the following: 1. Automatically come on at 7:45am and shut off at 8am Monday thru Friday. 2. I would like to be able to also manually use as...

So my father-in-law calls and he needs help loading a delta saw in his truck. I get there and he has just finished painting a house for an estate sale that will be coming up next month. In the corner of the garage I noticed 2 vises. Both old and heavy as hell, still in the original boxes. If I...

This is just so you do not make the same mistake that I almost did. I just had my furnace installed today. Well i had basically decided on just running it off of a switch and not using a thermostat. Basically i would just switch it on when I needed it. Well, the reason that is not a good idea is...

Before I put up the osb, is it necessary to put up a plastic barrier using clear plastic? Or do I just simply go osb straight to the trusses? Thanks

Where do you all mount your thermostats in the garage? My furnace is located right next to my walk in door and I want to keep the thermostat clear of that area.

GUY/GALS I am looking for a thermostat for my lennox elite furnace. Here is what I am looking to accomplish. I want to set it at 34 degrees, and not have it come on until it hits around 20 degrees. I am trying to cut down on the unit short cycling and I could care less about the temp swings...

Does anyone have 1/2" on 24" OC Trusses? I need to see some pictures of how it looks. I have decided on sheetrock instead of osb. But money is tight and I can save $50 on 1/2 instead of 5/8 and not to mention the 1/2 will weigh much less. Any thoughts.

So my 90,000 BTU is installed and I have enough saved up for my osb ceiling. But my question is should I have a wood furnace in my garage or should I sell it and use the money to get the ceiling insulated really well. The wood furnace takes up a lot of room but I guess it would be free heat...

http://duluth.craigslist.org/mat/1973030653.html I would not even know where to begin when it came to using this, but I thought a fellow GJ member just might.

I picked these up at an auction and I am trying to come up with some cool ideas on how to use these in my garage. They are Harmsco Water Filters. New it looks like they go for $700 to $800 a piece. I picked both up for $6 because I was the only one with an iPhone at the time of bidding and I...

Here is a pic, but she wants all the barn wood gone and she wants the fireplace taken out... She said the fish could go in the garage. For 5 years of marriage she has been ok with this kind of stuff, but now she says that "the garage is mine" and the "house is hers"! Is this how marriage works...

Furnace and dedicated Vent Pipe are installed. My next step is OSB 1/2" or Sheetrock 5/8" for the ceiling. Just wanted some opinions on which to use and why? Side note- I will be putting 13" of blown in cellulose on top. Thanks

Can a drip leg be installed on the outside of my garage?

Ok, the 90k BTU is going in tonight and I'm taking this on by myself! I just built my stand. I built it so it sits one foot off the ground. Here is my question.I have a concrete block base that sticks out 3" from my wall. I want to turn the unit sideways and run a 12" black pipe thru the wall...

I basically have (2) options. I can install a Propane Heater or an Electric Heater. My question is basically which will be cheaper. The heater will only be used to keep the garage above freezing. The highest it would ever be set would be say 50 degrees. Garage is insulated and sheet rocked with...

Now that I am actually taking my time on my garage, I have decided to use the winter months to get it finished up. I plan on using a wood furnace that I picked up at an auction to keep the garage heated while I'm out there working. How many of you heat your garage with a wood furnace? I am just...
