My garage build

[stf]

I've been lurking here for a while but never posted. I bought my first house back in February and I have finally got to start the garage. I wish I had taken pics before I did anything but this is pretty close.\

I picked up the wall cabinets from a local junk store for 50 bucks. Now is time to start the work bench.

The box in the back left corner will be covering my water heater and holding the TV on the top.

Framing the work bench:

This little tool is my new favorite:

Nice!!! I like the progress. On enclosing the waterheater, how do you vent it so it is not a hazard? I would love to do the same thing with mine. Thanks.

That is up for debate right now. Is it necessary to vent an electric water heater? Anybody?

Is it gas or electric??

Electric.

only a gas unit needs a flue vent.

I got asked on a PM what my favorite little tool does. Its a pocket hole jig and I got it at Home Depot. Heres a link to it at Sears:

Its been a long time since I updated.

Me and a buddy added a much needed door to the back yard. I got tired of walking through the house to get a beer out of the beer fridge and I found a door with a frame for 25 bucks on craigslist.

Funny I never took ant pics with the door in there?

You can kind of see the door in this pic (I know I need a mask)

The truck turned out pretty good to for my first time ever with a paint gun.

Painted the cabinets and the back wall (I'm still working on the rest) and I pushed my Jeep in the garage for some attention.

Pretty good shot of the cabinets and my newest tool:

Nice water pressure extinguisher!

I've got three of them, this little rustic type shop was selling them for 15 a piece. I've got a nice mount on the wall in the works for it.
