    My attempt to organize 2 car attached garage - Auto Shop

    The toolbox I have doesn't have enough space for everything. I had the pegboard and put it to use. I never even thought about changing the approach to the way I store the tools and now you all have me thinking a bit different about that. I am a bit of a pack rat so most of the cabinets are...

    My attempt to organize 2 car attached garage - Auto Shop

    I guess after two years I can post an update. I am far from an organized person and thus tend to have a cluttered garage. So this time I decided I needed to get the majority of the floor and bench clean. While far from perfect, it is way better than it had been. I spent some time searching...

    What do your Storage Cabinets look like?

    They look great. Tell me about the storage unit above the cabinets. I cannot tell if they are plastic or metal. What are they and how much can they hold? I want to add some overhead storage and this looks like what I need. Thanks!

    My attempt to organize 2 car attached garage - Auto Shop

    My new Electric Ceiling Heater

    Above my garage is the master bedroom so doing a Natural Gas furnace was going to cause quite a bit of work for the chimney. My local laws state the top of the chimney must be above the highest peak on the house. So in my case electric was the best option.

    Need heating advice for garage

    I just installed an electric ceiling heater in my garage and am very happy with it. My garage is insulated so that will make a huge difference. I believe closing off the ceiling on yours will make the biggest improvement, without that it will be hard to keep warm. Here is the link to what I...

    My new Electric Ceiling Heater

    Without heat my garage will be between 38 and 40 when it is in the teens outside. I will run it on the 5000 watt setting for about 1 hour and then cut it back. Within two hours it is very toasty. I will pay more attention to the actual temps and how much per hour it warms up. I will say I am...
