Comfort in the garage

[sithot]

Here's an idea:

So I'm asking you, what have you acquired that really made work in the garage less of a burden, more of a pleasure?


A very large, antique wooden 6-door refrigerator (currently under resto) into which to put more 'beverages'
A set of low-profile GoJaks
A 46" tv
Still using Dad's old wooden creeper

Sounds neat.

Are there any "level" garage floors in S.F.?

These are great systems and properly installed will make you very happy (and comfortable)

Bluetooth speaker system. Set the phone in the cradle, put velcro on the back of the speaker system remote and attach it to my shirt- Don't like the song, fast forward. Too loud, lower all from my shirt pocket. Also lets me know when I get a text (often from my kids)

Sure, whenever they're not shaking...

The cheap way is a set of four 10" ramps or jack stands and 2 trolley floor jacks to raise the whole car to a more comfortable working height (and you can get underneath more easily at the same time) and an adjustable height stool.

A few companies do inexpensive lifts (Backyard Buddy, BendPak to name a couple) or you can pick up used ones on Craigslist quite often.

Jack Olsen has a great scissor lift installation and custom built garage for his custom built 911.

I just bought one of these, should arrive next week, just after I finish my engine installation....

Burnished Cement...not sure what it's called )

In some ways, 75 % of the comfort in a garage - comes from the floor itself. I can't see how ceramic tile would be much help over cement, as it's an ice surface when wet. Grout lines prevent a smooth surface.

Question, for anyone involved with a cement base ; How does one have a cement floor similar to a H.Depot ?

That is what I'm after...but not sure how it's done.

I don't know what a Home Depot floor looks like, but there are companies in the UK who do polished cement / concrete floors and work surfaces that produce a very smooth finish
