New garage
Just got done getting my new garage wired up. Getting ready to insulate it now. What’s some cool alternatives to drywall I could do to finish it out. Thanks !

A shop is closing its business and selling their lift. Looking for advice.
Is this creaking sound something to be concerned about?
They say the cylinders have new seals only a few months old.

Closing tomorrow - how would you guys repaint this ?
Hey guys , I know paint colors are highly personal but I just wanted some ideas to work with. It’s my first home and I’m trying to make the garage space functional and “modern”.
Currently not a fan of the current scheme but I haven’t been able pin down why it looks off to me as-is. Space is 960 sq feet. Could always do white for everything but wanted to mix it up. Most of the nascar signs are going down but I do like the super premium gas sign.
The red on the left is pegboard, and that would be going down prior to paint and if kept would be a painted a different color.

Too small AC unit - would it help?
I have 24x30x8 metal building and live in a place with hot summers. I have insulated the south facing wall, which has helped noticeably; that steel siding gets HOT. I would love to fully insulate it and add 1.5-2 ton mini-split, but I don’t spend all that much time out there as it is and it wouldn’t be worth the expense to me at this time.
I don’t need it to be 67 degrees in August out there but I would like to make it a little more comfortable. I have a little 6k btu window unit laying around that I don’t use anymore; if I were to set it up on this garage, would it do anything to cool it down, or will it just sit there and make noise (and burn $$)?

Lift lighting
So i finally got my lift and got it installed, now i m looking for proper lighting, for those that have lifts, when you have a car up in the air, do you find it better to have your lighting directly over the vehicle, or is it better to have it in front and behind the vehicle?
My lift sits 10' from back wall centered on a side wall vertical post. My vertical posts are 5' apart so im trying to determine the best placement for lights when working only on the lift

12x21 garage ideas
Just purchased my first home leaving behind a 16x36 garage at my parents and moving my car (3rd gen camaro) and a quad (can go in shed or stand up to save some room) to my own house that will have a 12x21 garage. Now I understand the garage will fit the car. Was hoping someone could post there set up of a similar garage size with a work area i.e tool box, work bench if any of that stuff would even fit with a car. (Yes I know it will be tight) thanks!

tips on organizing my garage?
I've got so much stuff that I just don't know how to store such that it's relatively accessible. I don't want to have to dig through boxes of stuff just to find one tool that i bought for a specific purpose. I just don't really have a creative brain when it comes to organizing things, so any tips/guides you might be able to provide would be supremely helpful. Thanks! Photos of stuff below (it's mostly tools, some parts of things too). I've got a two car garage to work with, plus a room in the house that I could use for non-messy things. Thank you!

Should I be concerned?!
This is my finished garage at my brand new house and I’m bringing told that nothing is wrong with it. I’ve never seen a garage look like this.

How can you be sure the company you hired for epoxy floor is using real material/polyaspartic?

Add insulation to insulated garage door panels
We have a new home that was built last year in Las Vegas. It has a 3 bay garage that faces west. The garage door panels are the insulated rated panels. The doors still get pretty hot and it was only 92 degrees yesterday. The doors are a dark brown which do not help.
Im trying to find out if there are insulation panels that I can add to the doors. So far I have really only seens the foam panels for the older style doors that fit in the "slots" of the doors.
Also, I am trying to find a way to seal off the gaps between the doors and the openings. We do not have any wood trim, it's all stucco finishes. Ignore the arrow in the picture.

Garage Door Bottom Weatherstrip replacement stuck
I am trying to replace the old original weatherstripping for my garage door to solve mice problem. It was really really hard to slide from the sides so I just cut them in the middle and pulled it down. Now the problem is that I am not able to slide the new one or even the original old one back. Upon inspecting the retainer, it looks like inside of the groove is pinched on both sides to prevent the seal from sliding.
I tried to make some space with a screw driver but still no luck. No screws or anything other than this pinched steel. It's only near to the end of the groove on both sides. Can I do something to slide the seal inside? Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks.

Insulating Garage Vents and Installing Portable A/C
I am a total DIY noob. Forgive me in advance.
I have insulated the garage door with panels from home depot. There are some gaps.
I also have holes for dryer vents which i plan to funnel the portable a/c outlet too.
What is the best way to insulate these gaps and attach the a/c outlet hose?

Cabinet Charging Setups
I picked up a new Husky cabinet and I'm trying to figure out how I want to arrange my chargers and batteries. Right now, I have them all on the top shelf but I'm finding it a it awkward to plug/unplug the large EGO batteries. I'm like 5'2" so can't be too surprised there.
I was hoping people could share their charging setups so I could get a better idea of how I can improve mine.

Heating a third stall.
I have a two stall attached garage to which is heated by a 80k btu Mr. Heater propane unit. I got a third utility stall attached added but it’s walled off, not even a doorway. Is it legal for one, and make sense if I cut some rectangular holes between the studs and throw some register vents in there to allow conditioned air into it once I insulate it?
Looking to have a conditioned space for an antique car but doesn’t need to be 60 degrees. Just looking to keep it above freezing in the winter in the NE.

NewAge Cabinet Mounting Question
I’m expecting delivery of the NewAge 12-piece set from Costco this week and am wondering the best way to mount the entire set (minus the rolling carts) to the wall.
The wall I’m mounting to is an exterior wall so it’s just concrete block. I’ve tried searching for some solutions but didn’t find much unfortunately. Seems like the options are tapcons with washers or a French cleat attached with tapcons and washers and then the cabinets attached to the cleat.
Any suggestions on the best way to mount everything while keeping it clean?

Gladiator slat wall
I just installed a gladiator slat wall. I, however, did not notice that the size of the spaces to install the hooks is 3/4in and not 1/2in which is the size most slat wall hooks are. Does anyone know of where to purchase bulk slat wall hooks that are compatible with the gladiator brand slat walls (other than the gladiator brand hooks)?

Epoxy Cost in MA?
Searching the sub it looks like $6-8 is a good number for polyaspartic garage floor - does this number hold in MA in 2024? Curious if anyone has priced out anything this year.
I’ll be looking to do a 24x24 2-car garage with a decent older slab.

Getting closer to completion, floors and lights done, now on to cabinetry.
