Thanks brother! I have a pretty good sense of humor. As for the tools I'm just a Weekend Warrior. I have some tools to pretty much get the job done. So I've been all over Amazon and Ebay for a variety of tools and organizations. I'm looking for a complete socket set and I may go with that Craftsman 299 piece socket set for $349 for starters

Yup! That's the one. Shows that it hasn't shipped yet? Need to reach out to them. So wondering if this would bother you guys having the sink protrude past the rest of the cabinets?

it may bother you because the sink is white so it stands out more if it was black.
Also, having decent size sink helps if you need to wash bigger parts.

Isturbointeg there is nothing worse than trying to wash tools or gear in cramped surrounds. Give yourself plenty of elbow room.

it's a pretty big sink and I've used it plenty of times to wash truck parts out of it when I did the suspension lift. i'll probably feel better once I get the black sink in place

I have this set and I really like it. It was <$100 at Costco and it great quality.

I also have a set of craftsman sockets that are 1/2" drive and built for my air compressed impact gun, although I don't use those enough to justify the cost. Hindsight...

[Ozzie8]

My honest opinion I don't like husky tools I use to have set I give it away.
I had issue with stripping nuts and bolts I decide to go with Craftsman.

LOL honestly when the wife said what do you need I grabbed everything before she changed her mind. I don't think she was gonna have the patience to drive all around town buying tools so I saw the opportunity and I took it!

Isturbointeg loving the new tools. I totally get it - new immaculate garage fit out - of course you get new tools! That is part reward, part look and part just loving your cars more. Are you planning to insert a yoga mat for your wife as part of the flooring? Would that get you any brownie points?

[shimmy23]

What are ya doing for lawn equipment? I might try out those Rubbermaid wall mounts

[Fritzer]

I can't wait until I own a house.

Thanks! I still have my old tools. Just adding some new stuff too now that I have room for it. I'll steadily add more as time goes by. Lol no yoga mat for the wife in the garage. It'll mess up the theme haha! That's what the gym is for

3rd bay will be for the laen equipment. The Husqvarna and the lawn sweeper. Aerator, dethatcher and spreader will be mounted on the walls. All the garden tools will take up one of the tall cabinets

I know the feeling. Even after getting into this house 3 years ago my dream garage was way down on the bottom of the projects list. So it was a long time coming

You put an aerator on the wall?!? Those suckers are heavy! Also, 3 years is not that long to wait for a $15k garage remodel...

Move to the midwest and you can likely buy one today.
