First timer DIY garage builder

[gboezio]

awesome build. i love the small but functionable garage. Can you get a car in there? the door looks skinny

Thanks !!
Yes it's 8 ft wide, I got a BMW 530 in there and room to walk around and work in front of the car, I'll snap a shot when I'll work on my car.

English people. That way we know you aren't talking about us.

It looks like you have a loose piece of siding between the vent and the garage door midways up. BTW....everything looks great!!!!!

Why buy cabinets when you can build killer cabinets like you did.

Yeah, I need to fix that, the wind got really nasty at fall and ripped roofing sheets in the neighborhood, that one will recieve some whites screws, it seem to be the weak one, I was compensating some height differences from the two sides of the door in that aera.

Hey thanks,
I was told that to varnish them I will have to do both sides since the plywood will bend, I'll get that done this summer, got too much stuff on my hands for now
A busy life is a good life

I have a question about the doors..

Using just a sheet of plywood, are the doors warped at all? Or do they stay pretty flat?

Ive always been nervous to just throw up a piece of plywood for a door for that reason.

I suppose if it did warp, a couple 1X2s strips screwed from the back would stiffen it out.

looks good man. I couldnt build a whole garage hats off to what i have seen so far

hope to see the finished product

Well there is no issues with the 32" ones but the long ones bent a bit, I will stiffen them for a smoother operation

Thanks a lot, but anyone could build it, but you just need enough time to do it, it's very time consuming. The structure is the fun part, it's so quick, then it starts...

 

[gboezio]

It's close to completion, the rest will be done here and there, I'm into some motorcycle overhaul action already so I can get a few bucks back $$
The power panel is closed and the old outlet is gone, welder outlet installed as well.
Those counters seem to be huge, but I'm running out of space already
But the kitchen counter is cleaner these days

I travel for a living so I would not have the time, I paid some one to put it up and do the exteriour and then I did the electrical insulation and the drywall, now am mudding and taping. I definitly would build one myself if I had the time

Btw your cabinets look great and they look even better with the bike parts on em

 

[gboezio]

Thanks a lot, yeah a too clean garage looks funny, I rather seeing it producing some great toys.
You got to love that traveling job, good luck on the mud, can't say that was my favorite part of the build lol.
I got a nice addition to the garage, I just bought a Miller Diversion 165, can't wait to try it out, as soon as we get out of bed tomorrow

The price was right and will be welding tubing mostly so it should be up to the task.

Ok, gboezio just joined Merkava4 in the realm of tool fetishes...

Hi there:

Nice cabinets!

What are the dimensions of the upper and lower cabinets?
How high are the lower ones?
How much space is there between the counter top and the bottom of the lower cabinets?
How tall and wide is that vertical storage unit to the left?
