Garage Improvements

Leaning toward 0574, there will be lots of light. Dunno though white would be good too, 0341 is the rest of the house.



We will have a big slat wall where the bikes are

0574 or even 0575. #YOLO

Are you doing the floors too? Make sure your paint colour jives with that too.

Had to dig it up from way earlier in this thread but this is the colour we painted our... the sample is on white primer. It was dark on the white... but almost seems not as dark now that its all painted out that colour.

[BavarianBeast]

Floor is going to be tile with black perimeter and kind of a creamy/white center.

Doesn’t look too dark at all in your other photo. Maybe I should go black haha

[SKR]

This is where being colorblind has its advantages. I don't give even half a shit about what color the walls are as long as it's bright where I want it to be bright or dark where I want it to be dark.

[BavarianBeast]

Decided to go with black. Was kind of under the gun as the paint is going in tomorrow morning.

A bit of a 180, but we’ll see how it turns out. Yeah I wish I was colourblind, would make decisions a lot easier ha ha

[88CRX]

Black is certainly darker haha. Keep your painter on speed dial, black is gonna be DARK (obviously).

[BavarianBeast]

Haha, yeah a bit of a switch.

The floor is going to be quite vibrant as it’s a gloss tile for most of it, along with bright cars so I think it should work decently. Nice thing about paint is you can change it, albeit black is harder to come back from lol

I went with 'Brushed Steel' and will never look back, pretty much light grey with a hint of blue.

The set I bought (see above pic ) was a 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5 where 5 is the four-drawer box. The prices were the same as those except my #4 was $10 more and the #5 I got was $400.
My $1,870 got $319 back in CT$ plus another $160 back at the end of the year from Triangle Select.

So the true price was $1,391 and I fucked up earlier when I answered @nismodrifter
Sorry about that.

So this ad is completely misleading. They imply you can have that set as pictured for $1599.95, but they don't include the 4-drawer box, or what would be #5. Not anywhere in the description or pricing that I can see, but definitely in the pic.

So if it's around the same price that TPIM paid, then the set as pictured is actually about $2K.

Correct. That's something new they started doing this year and it's misleading.
The peg board shit that fills the space under the two hanging cabinets is also not included (nor was it included in mine) and I've never seen that offered. The only way I see to order that is it's mentioned (with part #'s) in the instruction/assembly manual for the hanging cabinets.

Totally cunty. I generally like to shop at CT if I don't have to talk to any of their staff. But that's weak.

I mean, this is the store that is widely known for having "regular price" that's inflated by 100% so they can put stuff "on sale". I'd say it's perfectly on-brand haha.

[ExtraSlow]

Yes, it's totally on-brand. Canadian tire is a cunty business that sells cheap chinese junk with Canadian-sounding names slapped on the box as their "house brands". They also provide a good warranty on tools because they think that's a better investment that making high quality tools.

I still shop there, but I'm cunty too.

Where do you shop that their staff gives enough of a shit to talk to you? I've never been in any CT store where its not teenagers or Karens trying to avoid human contact.

Well... Tools like their Job Mate line are about as terrible as Chinese can get; but, Mastercraft Maximum is miles away from cheap junk. I'd say it's half as good as Snap-On and a quarter the price with a solid warranty. It's a mildly premium product.
You're making the store sound more like Uncle Wieners or Princess Auto and that's not really accurate. If you want cheap crap, they have it, but they also have some pretty good stuff. If you want ultra-premium, they don't have that.
