Just curious .. there's the Liftmaster 8500 that mounts to the wall and eliminates the traditional overhead pulley-system. Had a few questions: 1. Quieter? (Have a bedroom directly overhead and mine is currently loud) 2. More Secure? (Saw it has the auto-lock, whatever-it's-called feature...

Snap-On has a nice one. 1/2in, flexible head. $134. Problem is finding a local Snap-on Dealer that I can actually get it from. Looking at getting something ASAP. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hey All, Long time follower here with details showing the process for the garage remodel that I've spent the past 2+ years working on; with much of the inspiration and ideas coming here from GJ. To give a quick story: My dad and I roadrace motorcycles. Our bike work has always happened out...

Hey All, Anyone order and install slatwall for their garage? Looking at doing that, as I have an 8.5'H x 10'W wall that I'd like to do. A couple questions: 1. Metal inserts - looks like for added weight, this is the way to go and it needs to be installed at the factory. Anyone use this? It...

Doesn't have to be huge. Will be used for motorcycle parts and such. Thinking of having a base cabinet with a utility sink on one side and a parts washer on the other. Any recommendations? HF has some. Not sure if it really matters too much from one brand to another here. Thanks in advance.

Well, I just had my floor done with Epoxy Coat. The results came out great. I couldn't be more happy with it, after doing a great deal of research here on the forums to figure out the best way to go. Christine was a huge help getting everything I needed nailed down - and Dave (the installer)...

Does one exist? I'm wiring a smoke detector in the garage, but want the ability to disable it for 30-60 minutes. The timer would be perfect, so that it's not forgotten about and left off. I've looked and seen timers that shut off after a certain amount of time. Just haven't seen one that...

Hey All, Courtesy of the Race Deck site, I was going through their gallery and saw this photo of an ideal workbench and wasn't sure of the brand. It has wheels and also has an extended counter-top/work area that you can sit at, which is perfect for what I'm looking to get. Anyone know this...

I'm looking at building a nice work bench with a maple-type top. However I want drawers on each side for storage and was thinking a good way to do this would be to get two toolboxes, and basically fix a rolling toolbox (with heavy duty, rolling/locking casters) on each end. My thoughts are...

Looking at doing a backsplash in the garage. I have some racing plaques that have been collecting dust, and I thought a cool idea might be to use them as the backsplash, along with some neutral tiles to fill in the gaps. I haven't tackled this type of project before, but I'm thinking the...

Hey All, I'm looking to have my garage doors replaced and recently had a company come out and give me some pricing. I was hoping to get some advice here if at all possible. Specs are as follows: - Two doors, a 16x8 and an 8x8 - replacing existing garage doors. - Heritage 3000 brand. Seems to...

Hey All, Just looking for some opinions here on the pros and cons of insulation an existing, hollow garage door yourself, versus buying a pre-insulated garage door. Overall R-value, looks, longevity, etc. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey All, I'm looking at adding some natural light into my garage and have been tossing the idea around of adding a couple glass block windows. Something like a 12" x 48" vertical rectangle-shape. Has anyone done this before? I'm wondering what a rough price would be. I would have to knock...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a few wall-mounting lights for the garage? I'm looking for something almost industrial looking, but with a nice clean design. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey All, I've got a 3.5 car garage with a 10ft ceiling that I'm going to be installed a heater in. I plan on installing a fan, 1) to move the warm air in the winter and 2) to cool the garage off in the summer. For this size garage, is there an advantage to be had with two fans? In the...

Hey All - I'm looking for some propane heating recommendations. I have a garage that's 700-800 sq. feet, with 10ft. tall ceilings, and with proper wall and ceiling insulation. I was looking at this Modine heater and wasn't sure if it was a good brand, or if there was something better...
