Been a while since i have been on and just saw the couple questions. GDPossehl - I live down in Palmetto Bay (really close to Deering Estate). I lived in the grove for a long time. Down on a boat at Dinner Key Marina. 55cadillacking - Not completely sold on epoxy. I like the look of it and it...

Thanks guys. Now i need to start doing my homework on epoxy floors.

It has been a long time since i updated this thread but i finally made some progress and wanted to share. After some use of the bench i decided i was happy with the design. I finished up the other two and got them installed not long ago. I was able to get the water heater moved so i...

I was able to get the recessed lighting installed in the soffit, some of it at least. I have placed an order and am just waiting for the rest of the to get delivered. I also got the small work bench mounted. Overall i am happy with how it came out. I made a measurement error and ended up...

I was also able to get the first work bench made. I started with the small middle one so i could try out the idea and see if i like everything before i make the two long ones on either side (for a total of almost 15' of bench). I decided to go with two layers of 3/4" MDF. On the bottom layer i...

Hi everyone, I made some progress this week. I got the soffit trim and the doors painted. Next up is moving the water heater up so i can finish the corner and installing the recessed lights. Michael

Airjunky: Good idea on the bench top. Im going to price out some 2x2's and probably try it out. Those extra boards are actually my kiteboards. I cant quite tell from your picture but are you kiting or wakeboarding on the foil? I have wanted to try out a foil board for a while now. Michael

Jeff, Thanks for the pictures. Those tops look really good. I will have to search around online some and see if I can track down some of that. Thanks again. Michael

Thanks guys. I got alot of great ideas from others on this forum. I got the final sanding done on the soffit storage this weekend so hopefully i will be able to get some primer on it in the next few days. Does anyone have a lead on where i can get some reasonably priced butcher block for my...

I have finally been able to get some more work done. I installed a new door that goes from the garage to the house. I finished up the trim around the attic ladder. Got the AC moved into the attic. I made some board racks to store my surf/skim/snow/skate boards. Board rack I have the soffit...

Thanks guys. rlwhitetr3b - Yes i did make the rod racks. I couldn't find any racks i liked for a reasonable price so i decided to make what i wanted and it ended up being cheaper then buying one and i got exactly what i wanted. Michael

I finally made some more progress in the garage. I haven't had much time lately due to other house projects. I removed one of the overhead storage racks and made some fishing rod holders. I then started on the soffit storage. I need to get the AC moved into the attic so i can finish off...

Thanks guys. I wish i could take all the credit for this but it was first done by palsor1 for some kayak storage. I just took his idea and modified it to work for what i needed to store. Brian R - I am from miami Fl. A 'waterman' has many different meanings depending who you ask. I believe it...

Thanks guys. It was alot more work and took alot more time then i expected but at the end of it i think it was worth the effort. Michael

I was finally able to finish up the attic storage. Next up is the soffit storage. Unfortunately i wont be able to completely finish the soffit storage until i move the AC into the attic which wont be able to happen for a while. Other then that i think i am going to pull down one of the overhead...

I have a question for everyone. I am using some recessed lights for my soffit storage and will have a couple left over. So i was thinking of putting them in the recessed storage area. Below is a picture with two sets of different colored circles (green and blue). These are the two locations i...

Hi everyone. I made some progress so i figured i would post an update. I finished up the electrical and had the final inspection and finally got to turn on the power to the garage. I have been working on getting the rest of the lights hung and have a few more to go. Below is a picture of the...

More electrical work and painting. Compressor area with outlets and plumbed for air. Along with shelving installed. Hose reel hung. Bench outlet and shelving. Started to rough in panel. At this point all i need to do is run the main power wire from my main panel to the sub panel. At...

The next step was getting the attic ladder installed. Then i started removing the old electrical and roughing in the new stuff. I am going with a 60 amp sub panel that will feed 20amp outlets around the garage and all the lighting. This will also eventually feed the AC unit. This picture...

The next picture shows the new garage door opener and the early stages of hole filling and removal of unwanted lights, fans and hooks. The next two pictures show the overhead storage racks and the beginning of painting. The next picture shows the cut outs for the recessed storage. The...
