I’ve got a very small garage with several motos and a car. That adds up to a lot of spare parts, tools, yard supplies etc in a very small space. It gets out of hand very quickly, and any cleaning I do just feels like I’m moving junk from one place to another. Any tips on organizing, efficient space usage, etc? fwiw, the garage is a two car tandem so it’s very long and narrow.

I hope this doesn’t violate rule #2.

Any estimates for a new insulated single garage door, motor, tracks, etc? I have a quote for $4100 and wondering if I should get more quotes or if that seems normal.

Hello

About to start installing and wall hanging the 14 piece New Age Pro cabinets . I have a double gang outlet on each side and both will be blocked by the cabinets

What is best way to get a clean cutout to access the outlets?

Is there a grommet available to place around the cutout?

Appreciate and feedback, thanks in advance

How would you go about expoxying this garage floor? It has a sidewall that's about 2 feet high that goes around the whole thing. Would you epoxy the side wall first then the floor? If you'd epoxy the sidewall, would you also apply the flakes? If so, how exactly? (I'm curious how you apply flakes to that high of a vertical space without a ton of flakes just falling, bunched up on the floor?) Let me know your thoughts and if you have example photos of similar projects that'd be great!

I just had a new garage built. I am getting ready to coat the floors.

I wanted to do full PPG products as I get the friends and family discount coupons every year but the store told me they can only sell me the clear Polyaspartic topcoat not any of the colored base coats. Can I put PPG Polyaspartic clear down over Rocksolid?

I have been searching for premade plans to have a garage built and nothing is clicking for me. My house is a traditional little two story brick colonial. It was built in 1960 in a very traditional style. I want something that looks like it fits with the house, but there's no historical society or HOA, and county codes are pretty lax. The pickiness if all me.

I found this in a nearly hundred year old building supply magazine and I am obsessed. The premade plans I have found to buy online would need major modifications. Is this something that a reputable contractor would need plans for? Would I have to go to a architect (please say no because I know that is several thousand.) I can source the doors semi-locally for about $7-8k total, so that's one problem I don't have to solve. I'm undecided on whether I would use brick or just hardie board on the exterior. It's mostly the proportions I'm stuck on.

Thoughts, advice, plans, warnings, input of any kind?

Aplus 10k going in the shop. Build quality looks really good so far at first glance. 2.2k out the door.

Living in pnw isn't easy during winters. What is the best way to insulate this garage door? Im planning to do a garage gym and would like to do my workouts in comfortable temperature.

Hey friends,

I came into a pretty good deal for paper faced poly iso foam board insulation. it's going to end up being about half the price of what the pink stuff would cost per square foot.

Are there any drawbacks to going with this stuff? Are there any complications or gotchas I need to keep in mind when cutting it down and placing it?

Hey all what would you guys recommend for a triple car detached garage hovering around the 650 sq ft mark? Roughly 24x26 area wise

It's coming to the dryer point whenever it warms up again here in Calgary but if either vehicle comes into the garage, which is usually kept around 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, From the rain or any snow debris on it will melt of course or drop to the ground but it will make the entire floor humid and damp to the touch. The garage is heated with a tube heater no moving air

I’m looking at building a roughly 30x40x14 outbuilding. A large majority of the space will be shop/garage/storage, but I also want to add a dedicated office space. I work from home and am sick of sitting at my kitchen table and working at Starbucks.

I had originally priced out a pole barn (steel sheeting, wood structure) for around $50k finished out - slab, electrical, office/loft space build out. My wife asked if I had considered a steel building, where both the sheeting AND frame are steel. Look at Big Buildings Direct for examples. The building is considerably cheaper, but I have 2 major concerns:

• Can I insulate and frame rooms in a steel building like this? I would assume so.

• I have concerns about the structural integrity of it. It appears these buildings are anchored to a concrete slab, rather than to posts that are set in the ground like a pole barn. I am checking with my local zoning office to make sure it meets building requirements for me. I don’t live in tornado alley, but we occasionally get strong winds and tornado warnings. I’d rather not build this thing just to have it get Wizard of Oz-ed.

If anyone has any pictures of their metal buildings they’ve finished out, or can provide info about the finishing out of a metal building, I would appreciate it.

so i have a set of extra weighted uprights and 4' arms that i want to make into scaffolding to be able to reach my ceiling for woring, lighting, etc. the walls are 12' tall with a 3:12 roof pitch.

it's only going to be me standing on them with maybe 50 lbs of gear, so combined weight would be 300 lbs or so, but the uprights are heavy, and i'm not sure what size wheel i should get, i know the weight should be 500 lbs but there are so many sizes, not sure what is the best to use to be able to roll this around to locations

another use that that it will have is using a 1 ton hoist under it so it makes for easy engine work and animal butchering location

I’m building a 30x30 with 10ft ceiling garage and looking at cabinet options and a track system for the walls. So much out there. Storing a boat in there but looking to get back into some woodworking eventually. I will have separate electrical service and looking into getting a natural gas line ran but doing the heat next year. I’ll spend more for better but I don’t need the big name brand. Any advice is on the entire project is much appreciated. 30x30 is all the bigger wifey-poo will sign off on.

So I am looking at installing a 13'x8' Proslat Procore+ Grey wood PVC slatwall in my garage but I have some concerns regarding the accessories available for proslat walls. I am looking to install some shelving on the wall (8' and 12" shelves, 48" long) and Proslat doesn't seem to have any shelving brackets for those size shelves. I know 3rd party brackets exist for those sizes and I was curious if anyone had any experience using these 3rd party brackets on a Proslat wall. Are the compatible? If they don't work, it is kind of a dealbreaker for me and I will have to look at another slatwall solution.

I really like the look of the grey wood look of the Proslat wall, and if I had to go with another solution does anyone have any recommendations with a similar look but better accessory compatibility?

Finally finished the interior and got to move the ladies in! Now on to workbench and organization. So excited!!

I just cleared out a room in my 24 wide by 30 deep shop. I will be closed cell insulating the whole building and am stuck on where the ideal position would be for my two post lift that I have coming in. Aplus 10k from Amazon. 6 inch reinforced slab so lift can go anywhere, but I don’t want the shop to feel crowded while I’m working on my vehicles. I would also like to keep the back left corner workbench for office related work. The long workbench on the right can be moved or removed as needed to accommodate the lift. What say you?

I'm curious if anyone has ever tried putting an epoxy coating over cured Rust-Oleum rock solid?

I feel like it may stick if clean but not sure. Only looking for practical experience not speculation please.

Thanks!
