Re: Garage Ideas
Yep, sorta exciting to discover that the 30 weight oil won't come out of
the can since it has congealed and turned to what looks like candle wax.
And low carbon steel will shatter if you pound on it.

Re: Garage Ideas
If you drive in and out in snowy climes, a reasonable pitch to the floor
is a great idea. My garage has 4" from the back to the south facing
garage door. Didn't get it quite flat enough to drain everything but
MOST of the crud drains out!

Re: Garage Ideas
Beware that you either need a post in the middle (a pain) or some
serious rafters to take the load. You also need a fairly high pitch (8
in 12 or higher) to get any large amounts of storage. But even 5/12 will
let you store some stuff.
