Unfortunately due to business travel it wasn’t till Thanksgiving that I got a chance to work in the garage again. But finally got some time and built a cabinet to house the lawn equipment- I call it the broom closet. It’s the cabinet on the right in the picture below. This weekend I was able...

Brent- put your family first is the most important thing you can do. You will have another place and another shop to work on - those are just material things. Being able to support your family and show your kids what a real does will make lasting impression and serve another generation. I...

that barn looks like it has some good wood that can be reclaimed / recycled - hope that is in the plan!

scrolling back through pictures realized I didn't post any with the framed out window. That old fence wood is coming in handy! Used a cedar 2x6 as the sill. and put a shelf above that can be used to display some stuff I have. :mad:and again the picture is rotated:eyecrazy:

Did manage to get the doors up and trimmed out. It was my wife's idea to trim out the doors with the same fence wood used on the wall siding. I'll stain the plywood panel later with a light pecan stain and paint the cabinet box a dark gray. I used old wrenches on my workbench, so using...

Been a while since I've been able to get anything done in the garage. Life and the job have consumed most of my free time. Back in July I was able to get plywood up and some old fence wood on the west wall to cover the foam insulation. Today I finally got a chance to build one of the...

Yeah, you probably wouldn't! Not much open space left since we are surrounded by Dallas, Plano and Garland. All good though and parts of the city are be revitalized nicely. The ship lap was recycled from a partition wall in the garage that was built in 1958. Recycling and repurposing as much...

Progress has been slow! Nothing happened for over a month due to wife being in the hospital (minus one gall bladder now), painting 2 bedrooms and college graduation. But I finally got some time on Saturday to finish the east wall shiplap siding. There is one corner to the left (not...

Ha! If one is in the "dog house" might as well be comfortable! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup! It's been a good space and seen a fair share of house remodeling projects. Looking forward to new projects! Thanks for the feedback! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My sweet sister made this for my new garage space! Searching for just the right spot to hang it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

EHI - Excellence Home Insulation. 972-552-0200. They mostly do new home builds, and do not have a sales team so I think that is why it was quite a bit cheaper - didn't have to pay for someone's sales commission. Nice owner and good crew, did a good job of covering stuff up and clean up...

Made great progress since the spray foam was finished last weekend. The back wall has been sided with 1/2 plywood and painted a light gray. Work bench moved back in. Upper cabinets installed. Cabinet around frig built and installed. Doors for storage cab and frig cabinet hung. Wall Control...

Foam insulation all in. Amazing the difference it makes. Usually the garage is hot late afternoon on a nice day. Today it felt perfect. If anybody is curios, I got open cell foam and the guy charged $1200. Worth every penny! The attic space The finished walls. Letting it air out...

Major step in the redo getting taken care of today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice setting and looks like a good size garage. What are the dimensions? What do you plan to use it for - mechanical, wood working, or whatever comes to mind? You find lots of suggestions and opinions on this site with every aspect as you finish out the space. Good luck! Sent from my...

Well, due to spring break vacation and another weekend trip for my oldest son's engagement party, I missed 3 weeks work in the garage. But today got the A/C installed!! It works great. Installed an LG 12000 btu unit with heat. Next weekend the contractor comes to spray foam insulate. Things...

I finally finished all the electrical work! When I started the garage had 1 light and 5 outlets. Now I have 2 lights, 34 outlets, 2 240/20amp outlets and 1 - 240/30amp outlet (this has its own equipment panel from the house). And I have more than 2 lights, they just plug into the outlets...

Well, I don't have access to Costco, and to me they are a lot better than the fluorescent lights I had. To each his own - I'm happy:beer:

I have about the same size garage and have used these LED lights from HD. So far I have 4 and have plenty of light, but I'm not working on cars either. I'm sure adding a couple more and positioning them just right would do the trick. I plan to add 1 or 2 more once I finish the garage redo...
