Weekend update: Got the new vinyl siding up around the back of the garage. The old wood siding was still pretty solid and flat so went right over the top of it. Found a set of cabinets that were exactly what I was looking for and the best part is he only wanted $5! The plan is to build a new...

My next few projects all revolve around prepping for spray foaming the ceiling. These included framing the gable ends, adding more rafter framing and roof support in the back stall, rough in electrical. I will be beefing up the rafters in the rear stall so there is a flat ceiling with a roughly...

Overhead line from house

The garage currently only has two 15 amp breakers that run from the house via overhead line. The main pole is only about 20' behind my garage so I worked with the power company to get approval for a 2nd meter and dedicated 100 amp panel for the garage. My electrician installed the mast, socket...

Next on the list was to open up the front stalls, tear down the wall and posts and rework to rafters. I temporarily supported the roof, tore out the old center posts, and started prepping for a new steel beam. We cut holes in the floor and poured footings for the new posts. Then added 2x10s in...

One of the first projects I did was to improve parking and add a storage shed before I started bringing stuff over. There is a good sized concrete slab in front of the garage doors and a slab to the right of the garage as well. On the left was a pad of asphalt millings but I wanted to clean that...

After years of silently watching everyone build and remodel their dream garages my time has finally come! I bought a house at the end of June and have been remodeling the garage ever since. I figure I should start documenting the process a little more so feel free to follow along. The garage...

This is funny, I actually go to school with one of the sons, Verlin. We just did a group project together a couple months ago. Good hardworking people.

I scored these new storage bins at work! I test barley part time at my university and our tiny glass vials come shipped in these. We use about one a week so I am going to grab as many as I can before I graduate in May. The outside plastic is decent but the drawers are a very sturdy clear...

make sure to keep a bunch of tile when your done in case you drop something and break a tile. very cool project

One of my buddies has a welding shop and they work out of a 40 X 60 with a door on each end. Works well for them because they can pull long projects in and out but they rarely pull anything all the way through. I think I would put a large door on the side you're planning to use the most and a...

I have seen people use pallet wood to do accent walls in their homes but I think in a garage it would be a bit much, especially anything more than one wall. Just my .02 Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Looking to buy a mini flashlight that I can keep on my belt in a leather holster. Any recommendations on a good quality one? Thanks Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I have heard of people using old fridges with a small light bulb inside. just enough heat to prevent freezing

I belive it is used for shaping metal Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

200 for 8 hours seems like a lot. I worked at a rental store for 3 years and you could rent a mini and trailer for 180 for 24 hours. Make sure it has a blade if youre doing some grading. And plan on it taking at least an hour before you get comfortable with the controls. Sent from my SCH-I545...
