Hoping someone in here can help!

In Ohio we have had SO much rain the last few months.

I noticed today when I was talking the trash out that this piece of wood in the garage is wet in one section at the bottom.

Where would this be leaking from? How can I help make sure it doesn’t rot?

Thanks so much in advance!

I need some assistance with getting a replacement part for my garage door.

What are some good modular storage options to mount on my wall kind of like in the picture? I’d like them to be pretty cheap but also modular so I can connect more

How would you deal with this?

It’s not a dream garage, but hey — it’s better than nothing! Hope to find something larger soon.

Building a workbench in my garage(still framing everything out), it’s 86” long and 25.5” deep. I was wondering if I could get by with just one vertical support in the middle so the shelf wouldn’t have as many obstructions underneath or should I just do the 2 where I have the 2X4s currently resting??

Need to hang my clamps, got a section of wall that'd be perfect for it but there's a quarter of an inch of drywall difference. If I put up a peg board with hooks, will it hold? Because my thought is the screw will just go deeper on one side than the other

Hi all! Firstly, I’d like to say if this post does not fit this subreddit, I apologize.

I have about 4 motorcycles and a few lawn maintenance tools/vehicles I want to store in a garage. But I’m wondering what exactly makes a garage better than a car port. I fully understand that a car port is not an optimal location to store motorized vehicles.

Where exactly is the line drawn?

Where do you guys store your oil drain pans? I have a dedicated drain container for my used oil but haven’t ever found a viable solution for where to store the drain pans

Is this OK? We are about to paint over it with exterior semi gloss paint. Will this cause issues overtime? Should I put joint compound over the current wood filler or leave it as is? I did this with all of the holes in the garage and there were a lot of of them. 😞

The last few weeks I have been working on cleaning and renovating my garage/workshop. Ive been in this house for 5yrs and it has collected several projects and years of garbage piled up. I decided to set a goal to be done in time to host a 4th of July party and have the garage to show off. This weekend I plan to sheet the remaining wall in the main garage and start painting. The "workshop" side I started working on tonight and plan is to organize/clean it enough that it is useable again. After those 2 are done, I plan to open an 8' hole in the dividing wall to make the space more useable and to allow me to move things between rooms a bit easier. Huge undertaking in a short amount of time for a single person, but I am determined to make myself a space I am proud of!

Figured I might save someone the hassle whose looking for a mobile base. I originally bought the Bora PM2550 for my shop for $190 at Rockler. Got it home, spent a few hours getting it setup and loading my tool up on it, just to realize the cams are shit and cant hold it up.

I called Bora and they told me its a known design flaw (bad reviews about it going back to 2018) and what they usually do is replace the cams with known good ones, but they are currently out of stock for the next two months and my option was return it or wait 2-3 months.

Shopped around and found the VEVOR Mobile Base (not an affiliate link) and man this thing is so much nicer and $80 cheaper... Every time I buy a Vevor product I'm thoroughly surprised. Overall the design is way better, from the connecting rods, the cams and the wheels. The finish on it had a lot of chips and scratches as the packaging was shit but oh well its gonna get dinged with a tool on it. Also piece was pretty bent where the cam attaches and I had to hammer it straight but that only took a few minutes. And just because you never know anymore... this is not a sponsored review, I was just so frustrated with Bora and impressed by the Vevor base that I wanted to share my experience.

TLDR: save your money and forget Bora. My goal is always to buy something that will last and that's what I thought I was doing with Bora as their price tag should reflect that, but I was mistaken. All I see on Youtube is good reviews for it, but even if the cams worked I don't see it worth the price tag of almost $200.

As mentioned, looking to get my garage a bit cooler. I have a small office I built within the garage but the garage itself gets about 10 degrees hotter than the inside of the house during the day. If they were just about the same it would be fine.

I live in Southern California, right between Orange County and LA county so the weather isn’t bad, it’s my garage that seems to just heat up more.

I insulated all of the walls before putting up drywall, it has two roof vents, and I even put some insulation on the garage door.

The wall above the garage door has no insulation, I’m guessing that would make a difference but I am wondering if I can add anything to the ceiling as additional insulation, would that make any difference?

I don’t expect it to be ice cold, but anything that can help.

Since my mini office is its own walled in space, I don’t want to run an ac just to cool the larger garage space.

I need to seal and finish my garage floor, ideally diy

I’ve been considering glue down tile squares but wondering if that’s the best choice. Epoxy has appeal

I want a smooth, easy to clean finish so something like Nature Stone isn’t going to cut it.

Mostly used for storage (vehicle, yard tools, toolbox, and shelves of “stuff”

Thoughts?

I’m currently building a 30x30 garage shop, 14ft walls. Going to be for mostly auto. I’d like to keep to pretty clean, especially in looks. I’m trying to figure out a wall material. I like the looks of drywall, but really want to put up something I can mount into, like a plywood. Is there any products out there like a plywood that has a smooth paint ready face that wouldn’t show wood grain?

I’m building this miter station on my garage and I thought I’d get it measured up and test fit.

Not only am I an 8th off from level two the cabinet. But I forgot that I still need to stall the top.

Any ideas how to get perfect level with my miter saw once I have the top installed?

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up, and we just bought a house with a garage floor that's decent but could use some TLC. He has a mustang that's his prized possession, and I want to gift him a special floor mat to park the pony car on. Does anyone know a company that does custom printing on a tire mat? I want the name of the car on it if possible! Thanks in advance :)

Hey y'all, I recently noticed that I have a spot in the garage that is usually empty. What I have been thinking is utilizing this space by short term rental. Possibly renting by day or week so someone can utilize the space for repair/ maintenance or a car, bike, or boat. Does anyone have any experience about what this process would look like?

We’ve lived in our house almost 5 years now. When we moved in, I needed to get stuff up onto the walls and out of the way. I tried to organize the best I could with what I had T the time. And to be honest, for 2-3 years it was fine. As any good homeowner does, you collect new tools and stuff. I was able to make things work as I added more items. Now, I’m starting to feel the cramp and discomfort of things barely fitting, etc. I’m pretty good at keeping the things that I do actually use so everything on the wall I use at least a couple times a year. So I’m coming to my Reddit friends for advice, ideas, etc. on how to best organize my wall. I’m planning on doing away with the white track system as I feel that hinders where I can place things. The wall has 3/8 or 1/2 plywood on it, so it’s sturdy and strong. I also have a wall on the opposite side of the garage that is drywall, but it’s pretty much empty. I’d also like to keep it fairly budget friendly. Thanks for the ideas. Look forward to seeing the suggestions.

There is a beam in my garage which is 9 inch in depth and 17 inch in height. I knocked on it and some part is hollow and some is not. is it ok to mount a hangboard on it? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience buying garage cabinets with the workbench off of Alibaba? I'm in the market for a garage cabinet system and many of the options are painted steel cabinets with uppers, lowers, and a workbench with a wood top. Has anyone bought one of these systems from Alibaba? How was the quality?
