Not a big project, but one that adds a nice connivence for me. I added a couple of wheels to the bottom of one of my tables. Makes it nice just for having movable power, worktable, etc where I want it.

It all sounds so familiar, and I'm not envious. We just finished over the summer our addition and garage reno that wound up taking way longer, and way more money than thought because of the town requirements and code issues. I'm about 25 miles north of Boston in Merrimack Valley. Good luck. We...

I put two 1500 lumen LED bulbs in my opener. They are just screw in and probably cost $5 or so.

Thats what I use here at work. Solid and will last forever. The only downside is on occasion when you smash your knee on them, there is ZERO forgiveness. :tantrum2:

Today was a nice day in the garage. I wanted to clear out some of the random cuts of lumber I had left over in the back room that was just taking up floor space. I have a "workbench" that was actually the bottom two shelves of a giant set of shelves that had to be removed during renovations...

Whats the plan for the grill?

Exactly why I'd like to go from my 16' to 2 8'ers.

Impressive building and use of space.

Not a lot of fancy stuff, but it kept me busy. I picked up a new 20A GFI at the Depot. I had my outlets run for 20A wiring, but then they stuck 15A plugs on. I had an electrical strip for my bench I wanted to use so swapping the outlet allowed me to use it. Also, since I now had the 15A GFI, I...

A few lights go a long way.

That looks awesome.

Its been a little bit. After finally getting my permits signed after taking a year longer than expected, I more or less took the summer off. We were letting the accounts cool off after running them hot for 18 months! :eyecrazy: This week though, the last few layers of mud were done, sanding...

I'm still settling in with the ideas of how I want to setup things. When I first bought the house, it was STUFFED with junk. They saw me coming, it was an elderly mans home and the garage looked like it would hold some hidden treasures. In reality, it was mostly junk and took me a few years to...

Its absolutely amazing what you go through with the small details from start to finish that completely change the outcome.

:beer: We passed final inspection!! :beer: We were able to pass inspection today for the house and garage. Which is huge, we started the house back in November 2016, so this has been a long time coming. Now I will finish the taping with another coat or two, and paint the walls and floor coming...

Thats great to know, especially since the stuff up on my ceiling is more than likely going to be my kayak and fishing gear. I saw a discount store up the street offering 48" LED lights for $5 each. I don't expect wonders from them, but I was thinking that they would be great to buy and use as a...

Ahh. Finally. After what has felt like forever, all the sheetrock is up, mudded and taped. I just need another coat on some of it, but hopefully I can get it to the point of inspection ready the next night or so and hopefully get it passed this week. :fingersx:

From the picture, you can't tell, but on the back side of that wall is a "storage area" that I can still get into a crawl space above the ceiling. Part of the issue with having to redo the garage was the fire concerns of the town over a 5/8" gap between the house and garage. So when it came to...

Well, We've moved forward again and most of the sheetrock is up. The one section thats not is because I have to run a wire that will eventually lead to the pool. That can go up this weekend though. Otherwise the rest has its second coat of mud on, seams are all set, and the edges have been...

I was able to get a good start on sheetrock this weekend. The ceiling is more or less done and the same with the back wall. I'll work on it this week to fit in some pieces and use up the rest of what I have. I probably need to buy another 11 sheets or so to finish, and then my door, but it feels...
