Here's an example - I ran the table saw in order to cut some adjustable shelves for the cabinets. Here is the pile of dust I had under the saw: Normally, I'll use a dust pan to scoop up anything above the tile. Then, I'll take a broom and sweep the dust down into the grooves of the tile...

Yes, it all comes up fine. I took some pictures today demonstrating this, I’ll upload them once I’m back to my computer.

Swisstrax has been fantastic so far. The biggest unadvertised plus that we’ve noticed is the dramatic decrease in dust and dirt tracked into the house. We installed some moderately dark wood floors and they show every spec of dust, the Swisstrax have made a world of difference!

Thanks! I’m hoping to start on the drawers this weekend. They’ll carry the same style finish and hardware.

More cabinet work this week - Finished up the cabinet frames: Cut the doors from 3/4" MDF Primed/Sealed: Painted the insides and installed the euro hinges: Doors Mounted: Painted: And handles installed:

Garage Door Replacement - As I mentioned earlier in this thread, our garage door was in desperate need of replacement. It had hail damage as well as several years of abuse. The rails were so weak that they would flex when the door lowered and throw off the laser eye system, causing the door to...

More cabinet progress, I got busy working and forgot to take many progress photos. Right now I'm planning to build the work surface out of 3/4" melamine with a 3/4" particle board underlayment. My thought process is that I could replace the melamine occasionally when it gets beat up. The...

Our last garage was the same depth, so I've gotten used to keeping the hitch under the back seat.

Next I began working on the cabinets. I'm building a cabinet array across the entire side of the garage, about 21'. There will be two 30" cabinets on either side of an 11' workbench. The workbench will have four cabinets built with drawers and a knee space in the middle, where i can post up on a...

I hate to admit that i haven't thought that far ahead yet. I had sort of planned some bookshelf speakers either on the work bench or above the cabinets and an amp/receiver in one of the cabinets.

The next item to work on was wiring up the receptacles and energizing the new sub-panel. I finished most of this on a late Friday night in preparation for starting cabinets that weekend. My help tonight was a little different... Nothing too exciting to share here. I chose black devices with...

After much time, and many, many trips carrying things down to the basement, we were finally ready to start working on floors! I'm sure some of you can relate - this is one of the best feelings - to have (nearly) everything cleared out of the garage More help. He usually earns a wage of a...

Finally ready for paint... We chose Sherwin Williams Passive Grey (SW 7064) as a light cool grey to match the floors we had selected. We spent part of the weekend putting up the first coat. Priority here was to cover the bottoms of the walls to prepare for flooring install as well as paint the...

You'll probably need to call your local electrical supply house. H.E. Williams, from my understanding, is sold throughout the country.

Funny you guys should mention that... We are replacing the whole garage door - it's pretty beat up. We selected the faux wood tone on the right with a fully insulated door. While they are replacing it, i'm having them install a high-lift track and a Liftmaster 8500W. I've already pre-wired...

As part of the electrical upgrades, I needed to set a new sub-panel. I installed a 100A breaker in our main panel and subfed 100A to a 125 amp main lug only panel. All of the new garage circuits are terminated in this panelboard. This is also setup to assist us in the future basement remodel, in...

Yes, we do. However, when we bought the house we had the radon levels tested and the agency commented how low the levels were even for a home with the mitigation system that was in place.

Thanks! That's what i'm hoping. I've already been able to tell a big difference with just the wall insulation.

So, after a Friday afternoon off work and two truckloads to the dump, I had ripped off the drywall from all of the exterior walls (which is about 3/4 of the garage...

The next order of business, or so i thought, was to install some additional receptacles. The garage currently has three outlets - one used for the sprinkler system, one for the garage door opener, and one used for the radon mitigation system. Later i found out that the sprinkler outlet was...
