I have a French cleat system in my workshop area that I love! But it’s a lot of work to install, you have to make every mount yourself, and it’s less expensive but not cheap. These wall systems very much have a place when time or energy is a limiting factor. And it’s easier to make them look clean and neat, too.

You know what’s cheaper? Attaching those type of hangers directly into the dry wall. No idea why people think they need something to attach them to, when they are putting holes in the drywall anyway for these systems. Yea, you might be slightly more limited in where you put things, since you want to find drywall with studs or plywood behind them, but it’s not that big of a deal.

We bought a house with two 2-car garages, one of which became my shop. Both have tan colored, speckled epoxy floors. Both are slippery when wet. My main hatred of this floor is the difficulty in seeing and finding dropped screws or nails! They virtue disappear on the speckled floor! If not speckled, it would still be useful for cleaning and vacuuming, but little things would remain visible. I’m thinking about using a diamond grinder pad to buff off the epoxy. Yes, I hate it that much.

I store lots of rarely used stuff up high in the garage. I’ve used several variations of rope/pulleys to raise & lower. The motorized unit shown here is nice, but $600 is pretty steep for lifting 2 suitcases and a cooler. I’d add one piece of advice on ceiling storage-plan ahead. It’s frustrating to do a bunch of work & then realize you’re blocking out light or don’t have enough clearance to walk under it or the garage door bumps it when opening. Also, look for any way your overhead storage can fail and do something to mitigate that risk.

Rust oleum epoxy is actually pretty good. It has several grades - I used both - just use the two car or use 50% more. I’ve done two garages DIY and a breezeway HUGE IMPROVEMENT - and has held up six years and still going. PS - it’s a garage - and I’m not Jay Leno - and even if it peels which mine has not - even with the minimal pressure wash citric acid one one hour prep (included) - there is matching (garage close) touch up. Three tips 100% - 1 lighting 2 floor 3 Shelves - got two 72” Guardian style - 4 shelves each - and mounted them connected across the back wall of a two car garage connected 3 shelves on the sides 2 in the middle. Maybe $800 - all in - and a nice heavy cord reel great add to make functional and presentable with a $100 hand held pressure washer. White paint helps a lot, too. Emptying your garage, sweeping and getting the dirt off is the biggest job and letting the epoxy dry two days makes a big difference.

@@JayDee-xj9lu In all cases my garages were used for vehicle daily drivers as I prefer to store my vehicles in the garage, didnt have any issues personally. Not beyond normal dirt and soiling like when you park a wet or snowy vehicle and the moisture and dirt drips to the floor, cleaning the floor of these areas resulted in near new conditions. I think like anything it depends on your initial prep and garage care not letting things get to the point where it would damage almost any surface. Was never perfect, but generally any area that was perfect was usually due to an area of particular failure to prep, like an area of concrete that was too smooth and never roughed up enough by the acid etching process, a touch up was necessary and remedied the problem once addressed.

Tip: check your electrical codes before you hang a bunch of junk around your electrical panel. Accessibility, without impedance, can be a problem. Your setup would fail, insurance companies look for things like that to not pay out a claim if an electrical fire occurs and access is impeded. Doesn't matter whether you think you can access it, electrical inspectors can be the gestapo of the building trades, zere are rules.

So I've only used this pressure washer one time. kzitem.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.

The workshop has big covered flat panels, and they work great, the garage has small round lights and work great as well, much better than I expected. I like the big flat panels since I don't expect they will have an issue being cleaned and spread the light out even better than your tube lights. Can you use your power wash on your epoxy floor? I am about to have an epoxy floor installed and will ask them if OK for use with the power wash, that would be cool and help things very clean.

We bought our house 3 years ago. Within the first 3 months I had the floor epoxied. Best thing ever, looks sharp, easy to clean, and non-slip. Next, put in a subpanel for more accessories. After that I expanded my 1 garage outlet with a power strip to 19 outlets all on a 20 amp GFCI breaker. No more extension cords, plug and play. The garage fridge has it's own outlet and breaker as well now. Then the lighting.........just over 51,000 lumens in a 430 square foot garage. They weren't cheap, but I can make it daylight in my garage. That was almost the best thing I did. I see EVERYTHING. In the car, under the hood, under the car, everywhere. The actual best thing I did was installed a 1 ton mini split. Again, not the cheapest, but I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I live in S Florida, so when it's 99 degrees out, I'm chilling at 72 or lower degrees in the garage. Plus it helps the garage refrigerator. So along with cabinets, a nice workbench, and other little things, I'd say I'm pretty happy with it. Many compliments of my garage from neighbors and visitors. I think that we are an elite group of men that believe that a garage should be utilized and not just used as a storage locker.

I have the same issue that the builder (in 2006) only installed 1 outlet in the back wall, 1 in the ceiling for the garage door opener, & 1 in the corner near the door for the sprinkler control. First of all you need to check your local building codes. Generally outlets are placed 12 feet apart since most items have 6ft cords. To me it would make sense to have an outlet on each side of the garage door, 1 other on the side walls, & at least 2 on the back wall. Also 2 outlets at a wall workbench where you might have a couple battery chargers.

Have you had any experience with a central shop vac with retractable hose? I am suspect of a long vacuum hose dropping pressure especially with the high price tag and how pourly shop vacs are made these days. I have seen the Rockler option which is pricey, as well as a company with a solution called "Vroom" but I can't find a dealership locally to look at this before buying. I don't have a dust collector and would prefer the high pressure instead of the high volume.
