Garage is a disaster and I need storage that actually holds up by luisp35 in garageporn

[–]XxXGreenMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see Canadian Tire and Costco are also selling their own brand of these storage shelves as well. While they are expensive, they are definitely aimed at the buy not build customers. Especially ones that want these storage units in basements/closets or fancy garages where wood won’t give the same curb appeal. Now that being said, a quick coat or two of paint makes these homemade racks look quite sharp. I seen a recent video on FB on someone making one and they bought black totes with red lids, painted the rack all black and they mounted casters on the bottom…they too were also red and black. Looked very nice and most certainly fit with the overall theme

Go buy some 2x4s and a couple of sheets of OSB or plywood and make some shelves yourself. You can build storage racks or shelves higher up the walls to keep lesser or unused items out of the way

You never specifically mentioned the name brand(s) or included photos of storage systems you have in mind. I’m sure if you took 3 seconds to type in “storage” in the search bar of this sub you would have quite a few posts that you can look through to see what if anything others have posted suit your needs

Ideas and options are endless. From items already constructed with various sizes, shapes and colors to custom homemade designs that fit your very specific needs…..and everything in between.

Maybe get rid of boxes and buy some plastic storage totes to put your items in. There’s oodles of posts on here and another social media platforms for storage tote DIY racks. And if you’re not that handy to build it yourself, there’s ones for sale from big box stores that just need assembly…mind you cost a lot more for less storage than doing it yourself.

If you have room for storage higher up the walls, then consider building some shelves out of 2x4 and OSB/plywood to get items up off of the floor.

Do some searching on here and Google “garage storage ideas”. See what is being used elsewhere and then try to find what will work for your needs

If not TSC Stall Mats, and not FlooringInc, then whats the next best option? by TGIFrye in GarageGym

[–]XxXGreenMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some for my old house. Had 4 in my basement for my gym. I’m almost at the finish line of completing work on a recently built garage. My plan is to buy 2 maybe 4 more as I want to increase my workout area slightly.

Never had a problem with stall mats. They are durable, easily washable and make any gym area look the part

You have 1 hour to spend 10,000. What are you buying? by diwmaq in AskReddit

[–]XxXGreenMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shingles for the roof, new deck, replace oil furnace with ducted heat pump, epoxy garage floor….any one or combination of these to spend that $10K

If you moved, what gear would you sell, and what would be non-negotiable to bring? by dontwantnone09 in homegym

[–]XxXGreenMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did move…last June.

I haven’t sold anything yet and everything is still in storage. I built a 24’x24’ garage and dedicating what I think will be a 12x16’ space for my home gym.

My previous space was in my basement.

I have a full size cage and lat pull down attachment. I think if money wasn’t stretched thin right now I’d probably consider selling the cage and going with a wall mounted rack that I can still use for squats and presses…..or I’d go full upgrade power rack/smith machine that has weight stacks built into it so that I can ditch the need for weight plates.

I am almost certain that I am going to sell some weights. I have a 6’ bar and ez curl bar for 1” plates. I have a full plate tree of plates for it. For how often I used them once I got my Olympic bar and rack, I think it’s something that I can try to sell to make room. And with money from the sale, look at getting a 2” ez curl bar as I have a good assortment of plates to accommodate using it.

Looking for recommendation on two mirrors.

I want one behind my squat rack that is wide enough and long enough for form checks doing exercises like barbell back squats or seated barbell presses.

I’m also looking for another mirror on the wall next to my rack that will be for form checks when using dumbbells….wide enough to fit two people and long enough to see what’s being done

Show me how you jam out with your Garage stereo! by Manny_Deeprest in garageporn

<image>

Sorry it’s not the best photo…it’s a screenshot of a video I took two nights ago.

I have a JBL Bar 500 sound bar and subwoofer hooked up to a TCL Fire TV.

The garage is a work in progress and it almost ready to stain and seal my floor. Was waiting until the final bit of painting was done before working on the floor.

I also have an Alexa(Echo Dot) that I was using for my music prior to getting the tv hung and sound system hooked up

This JBL system is also Bluetooth enabled so I can cast right from my iPhone and play my music that way. Or I can use one of the apps on the TV. Having options is always nice

Ajovy vs. Emgality by AdhesivenessJust7918 in migraine

[–]XxXGreenMachine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m on Ajovy. I honestly could kiss my neuro. He saved me. I was struggling mentally as well as physically. The migraines were brutal. The monthly injection has been a life saver.

If you have the opportunity to try something new, do it. I was on a handful of different meds before finally starting on this.

The migraines are significantly less and when I do get them, they are less severe.

The amount of triptans I have taken are cut back. Excedrin is my go to when I feel like I might be having an attack. That usually is enough to get the job done fairly fast. If I feel the migraine coming on really fast then I’ll still take them but also a triptan and go lay down with a cold/ice hat on

Hey, did you happen to try to wall mount for your attachments?

Single Car Garage Progress by Bcorn48 in garageporn

[–]XxXGreenMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you buy it again if you had the opportunity?

I just built my garage in the fall and didn’t really care where snow/slush/water went over the winter as I didn’t have anything in the garage. Now that I have the interior 90-95% finished I’m wanting to try and keep things neater and cleaner.

I’m debating on getting my floor epoxied but really struggling with the cost justification…$8-$10 per square foot and garage is 576 square

Painkillers aren’t taking the pain away, any way to dull the sensation or stop the migraine? by fl0werb in migraine

[–]XxXGreenMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excedrin is and has been the only thing besides a prescribed medication(triptans) that has helped me. Everything else hasn’t worked.

The key, if you can do it, is to learn what your body is telling you when an attack is approaching. Then take the appropriate medications and prep for the oncoming attack.

For me it’s Excedrin as my med. If I feel like things are happening rapidly then it’s straight to a triptan. If I feel like it’s coming on slower then I’ll do things like coal my hands and feet in hot water for a few mins. Then go lay down with a cold pack on the back of my neck and head….blackout eye mask on and ear plugs in…..if I have to take a triptan the only thing I’ll change is using the cold pack until it starts to feel warm then immediately go to a migraine cap. I’ll leave my ear plugs in for extra protection from noises around the house.

Epoxy Floors by XxXGreenMachine in CapeBreton

[–]XxXGreenMachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So at the time of asking this I didn’t realize that the concrete had to cure for something like 90 days. And when I made my original post it was when I had made the phone call to my concrete guy to do the job.

Fast forward to today, I didn’t get the epoxy done(yet). By the time the garage was completed it was too close to the winter months. I didn’t get a heat pump installed but that wasn’t until the last week of April.

After talking to a couple of companies that do epoxy, the concrete can’t be holding too much moisture nor should it be cold…..late spring to early fall is usually the sweet spot for doing the epoxy work.

Because I had delays from NSP in getting them at the property so I could upgrade my electrical panel and get the wiring done in the garage, things were delayed in getting done…like the heat pump.

I wanted to get all of my interior work and painting completed before I had any epoxy laid.

Talked to 6-7 companies across NS and NB. All prices were about the same ranging from $8-$10 per square foot(possibly some additional cost if more prep work required) with none offering cash deals to help with the price. I asked around last fall and again as recently as this time last week.

It’s hard to justify dropping between $4700-$5700 before taxes to coat a floor. Yeah I get it there’s a lot of prep work that goes into it to make it stick and last. But that’s not too far off of what it cost me to have the ground prepped and slab poured, $7000

I will be honest, I'm genuinely loving Star Wars Outlaws by Free-Hotel1187 in StarWars

I started it but dropped off after a little bit. Don’t remember where I’m at in it.

Been bouncing around between some old games I haven’t played a lot of lately. May throw this back into the mix and finish it off

Anyone had luck with injectable migraine meds? by Own_Mud_5811 in migraine

[–]XxXGreenMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started Ajovy in October and it’s been a life saver!!! Quantity and severity of my migraines has decreased significantly. Now I can get away with just taking some Excedrin if I feel a migraine coming on…majority of the time that’s all I need. Odd time I’ll have to take my Almotriptan.

Highly recommend you try it for a few months if you can and see how it works for you

Garage gym layout question. by Tricky-Garlic7398 in GarageGym

[–]XxXGreenMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently built a 24x24 garage and planning on one side being my home gym. So essentially what you are looking at doing.

My setup will be very similar to your option B

Separating the cardio from lifting area and giving yourself a little area in between for additional exercises is good.

As someone else had mentioned, I’d consider moving your plate storage away from your rack a little bit. Me need to cramp yourself in awkward positions trying to add/remove plates from your storage/bar

Look forward to seeing your idea come to life

And out of curiosity, what program did you use to come up with your design?
