I'm wanting to make one side of my garage our new office. Do you guys know of any links containing office set-ups in garages? I'm not sure how to set it up.

Your opinions please!!!

How can you widen garage door openings? Mine is only 8 feet wide and it is really nerve-racking to try and park and SUV or truck in there, especially because of the 90 degree angle you must take on the driveway before getting into the garage. My wife has already done 1 paint exchange between the...

My air handler keeps freezing over on the inside blocking the air flow. There is also water puddling around the outside of the air handler. The air handler is a Carrier and it is only a year old. To fix this I have been turning it off and opening it up when it freezes over and then just letting...

Can you insulate garage doors? If so, how do you do that?

The rollers on my garage door are getting wore and one is chewed up. They are now the "plastic" type rollers. Can I change them to steel rollers for more durability? They sell both at Menard's and I'm not sure what the difference would be.

My new concrete driveway (poured between 1 1/2 month ago) has a crack in one of the 4'x4' pads. The corner of one pad is cracked off, the crack length is about 12-14". They asked if I can deal with it, or if they should replace the pad. I live up north and know the freezing water in the crack...

The ceiling in my garage is my next big project. Been researching the pros and cons of drywalling the ceiling or hanging ceiling tiles. I would like to hear your opinions please, and thanks.

I'm repairing a cross-threaded spark plug hole and I don't want to take the head off. It won't go all the way in...maybe 1/3 of the way. Looks like the person who rebuilt my head may have damaged when he was chasing the hole. I literally just got done putting the head back on the car and now...

Have you guys ever seen a urinal in a guy's garage? I'm trying to convince my wife to let me put one out in my garage. Wonder about how much that run?

I have a problem with the exterior handles. When the door is raised, the T handle hits the weatherstripping. Both doors now have ripped weatherstripping where the handles have torn through. The lower handle look like it will clear, however. Anybody have these same problems with High Lift Doors?

Machinist said don't worry about the brown spots, but I'm not sure how many brown stains he was referring to. Block is nice, flat and clean. I've lightly cleaned it with a ScotchBrite pad but brown stains remain. I figured the machinist knows what he's talking about.......right?????:confused:

I have a few year old shop with bare block walls and exterior brick . The walls are in excellent condition. Can the block interior seams be filled and then the walls textured and painted? What is the proceedure? Or will it be necessary to put up 2x4 studs and drywall sheets first...

The sheetrock in my garage goes down to about 1/4" above the cement floor in most areas. In other areas I have exposed cinder block. On one wall it sticks out about 3", with the "holes" in the cinderblock exposed; and on another wall the cinderblock is fairly flush with the sheetrock. I'd...

I often use a bench grinder and a buffing machine for preparing parts for my cars but they take up so much space. It's driving me nuts. I need some ideas on easy access storage for them please!
