I don't have any photos prior to 2018 but the garage used to be 3 walls full of shelving containing extra wood and supplies from job sites.

Nice little garage. Have you used it during the heating season yet? Did the heater cycle On/off a lot?


Not sure if I want to stand near the right upper top chest. How is that bracket secured to the wall?

Last question is can you hear the compressor running out in the shed?

Thanks

Thanks -- I usually ran the heater on max until it was comfortable then turned it down half way. Now under the car it was decent, however when I had the car up on the lift and I was standing on a stool, anywhere above 6 feet was too warm.

The plywood is bending but there's a total of 4 brackets under the wood and all of which cover the 18" of the plywood depth itself. All of which are hitting studs. So the only concern would be if all the drawers were pulled out and pulled down.

The shed is next to the garage with a 1 foot gap for the AC, I hear the compressor through the pipe connecting the garage and shed but very minimal. A standard power drill would be louder than the compressor. With some background noise -- I probably wouldn't even notice it
