Garage Improvements

I used this type of light in my garage and it does the trick: https://www.amazon.ca/Integrated-Lin..._dp&th=1&psc=1

I've been using these in my garage and quite like them so far.

Whatever you do, don’t put up those ugly hexagon lights that distort the look of the paint

Anyone looking to get rid of decorations for garage? Anything from signs to old gas pumps?

[lamp_shade_2000]

Does anyone have a recommendation for where to look for a new garage door + install? I've played with home depot's configurator as a benchmark. Looking to compare other options and pricing.

I came here to say this ES beat me to it

+100 for Tony. He's done amazing work for me, multiple times, including a repair on New Years Eve. I will sing his praises until the day he retires.

Sounds like Tony is the way to go then. Thanks everyone.

Well it took me almost a year between getting a footing designed, cutting, piling, concrete, etc and being generally slow but it's in and it works. All that's left is to get a side operator for my garage door

Sweet. Next year when I can save more money a 4 post is calling my name.

What’s the best material for a garage you haven’t built yet? 6” slab

I originally thought of doing epoxy but I’m really not a fan of the metallic flake and blandness of most of the applications. I know you can do more elaborate designs with metallic/etc but I’ve found you really need the best to make it look good.

[ExtraSlow]

Slope the slab to a line drain, and it'll already be better than 97.6% of slabs regardless of coating.

I thought you were really into the polyaspartic to my recollection?

[BavarianBeast]

I was after seeing some good jobs but it’s also a lot more expensive than epoxy and generally still seems to have that flake look in it.

[BavarianBeast]

Wow, polyasparatic is only $8.50/sf here. Way cheaper than I thought. $14/sf for metallic epoxy like this.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Right, but that looks about 3x better than polyass. (vomited guitar picks) and it's less than 2x the money... Kind of a no-brainer, isn't it?

Spring just broke on garage door. Luckily the door didn't come off the track. Was able to get it closed. Gave Tony at Best Doors a call so hoping he might be able to help out in the next few days. Any backup repair company suggestions ?

The garage door depot on Blackfoot might be able to supply you/them with the part?

Finally pulled the trigger on this. I chose 2 of the 30" width taller cabinets rather than as pictured. Cheapest it's been in a year and got a metric butt-load of CT$ credited. "Similar" NewAge setup was more than double.
