Took a day off yesterday and after a 30 mile bike ride I was already dirty and smelly so I decided to wash the car.

I’m the OP and I hope I didn’t come across as ungrateful for what I have. I have a lot of equity in my home. It’s just not what I expected to stay in this long. I have three other vehicles that are stuck sitting outside besides the two in the garage. I just see so many cool project vehicles...

I bought my first house about five years ago. It was close to work and I expected to only be here maybe five years. I spent a ton of money on renovations including a ridiculous 3000sq ft basement man cave and backyard outdoor kitchen. The problem is that I really would have spent more time in a...

Spent about $450 at New Egg for a Onkyo receiver and klipsch speakers. Good enough for my still in progress garage project. Is there a way to embed a youtube video here?

My garage instantly fills up with leaves and debris the second I open up the door. In the nice weather it would be more comfortable to have the door open when playing in the garage. I searched but couldn’t find a recent thread on this. I’m looking for a secure screen that rides on a track that...

Just read through 16 pages and now I hate my life even more than usual. :lol:

In the picture the heater looks closer than it really is. It only needed to have 6 inches of clearance and we installed it about 8 inches away. I’m not sure the brand of tile but I made sure my friend at the tile shop knew what was being done with it. No problems with it so far.

Thought I’d share a few new pictures. My garage is nothing compared to some of the shrines I see posted here but it’s the best I can do at my current house. Cabinets are installed and the heater is set up and it’s nice and comfy in here to play in the 20 degree weather. I bought a bunch of...

The cabinets were delivered yesterday. Gave the truck driver $20 to help carry in the tall cabinets since they were too tall to pull in on the pallet. These are 18g metal and they look built well so far.

Right now I have all my brooms and shovels hanging conveniently on the wall. Unfortunately it looks really unsightly. The only thing I can think of is to buy a tall cabinet to hide them in. Any other suggestions?

My credit card is getting lots of use. I was going to install one of those mini split HVAC systems until I saw the prices. Since its winter I needed heat so I purchased an electric 34K heater to be installed next week. It’s an Ouellet 10,000 watt heater, Model# OASU10000T from Northern Tool...

I need about 6 wall cabinets for my garage. These on Amazon look nice but they are flimsy 24g metal. Any recommendations for deals today? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00863FH42/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Thanks, just ordered it. Its $100 off today and a $50 gift card comes with it. Looking forward to heat next week!

The Fahrenheat unit shows a 270cfm blower compared to the Ouellet listed at 700cfm. Its Almost twice the price but its portable and I can take it with me when I move to a bigger garage. I called my electrician and he thought I was crazy to use a electric heater due to the extreme cost to run.

I always wanted a house on lots of acres with a giant garage. Unfortunately I’m stuck with this 2 car garage at my current house. When I moved in 5 years ago I installed a tile floor and then got busy with the rest of the house. I’m putting in brushed aluminum base molding and chair rail. I had...

I searched but did not come up with a consensus of what people consider a reliable brand of electric heaters. Reviews online for different brands are all over the place. I have a budget of about $600 for a unit. I would like a unit powerful enough to get the garage up to 65f. My garage is 22X22...

Thank you, but I don’t have a system picked out yet because it will be something installed next year. The only reason I was going to have the electrician do it now is because he will have all the access to the walls while he is already running new wires for the lights.

I have an electrician coming next week to install recessed lights. He has to run new lines from the basement fuse box to the garage for the lights. I figured to save money while he is doing that he can run a new line for a future ductless mini split heat/air system. Those mini splits are about...

I’ve searched for them online and could not find a price anywhere, what do they cost?
