That's a bummer...I hate the feeling when you have something specific in mind, and you get to where the reality is "good enough". So many times I've settled on good enough, and I've ended up just focusing on the "good enough" aspect instead of the overall finished project. That doesn't mean that I (or you) should settle for anything less than what you want. I just understand what you're going through.

Well, they came and "fixed" most of the outlets. I am unhappy and the owner of the business and his business manager are coming out tomorrow morning to look. Since the outlets didn't get buttoned up, I haven't done anything with my remotes or anything yet.

Any pics if the "fixed" outlets?

Very purdy. I am jellin.

Started doing some touch ups on the garage drywall. Added some corner bead and a friend came and showed me how to tape and mud it. Still need to taper it out, but real curious as to how well I do. Will probably take me forever.

I added tape to spots I want them to fix. May end up doing it myself before they show up.

Drywall is all complete, has been for a bit.

I had been putting off running the wires for the photo eyes (safety sensors)and the hardwired controllers because I don't want the wires highly visible. I ended up running all of the wires to the front of the garage so that the buttons are easy to get to at the front and will be mounting a wireless controller near the entry to the house. I bundled all of the wires into a custom harness of sorts using color appropriate electrical tape and ran them as discreetly as possible to the front wall. On the 2 bay garage I used white electrical tape that minimizes the appearance of the wires on the ceiling and on the single bay I could run the wires straight down the rail of the garage door opener. I really liked how the single bay wires disappeared and will be fine with the two bay once I get overhead storage completes as it will no longer be visible.

It's quite nice having correctly functioning garage doors again without the controllers being mounted on makeshift hangers from the motor unit.

Oh, and the first installment of my storage solution is on its way!

Have you painted yet?

Paint is done as well.

Floor will come after cabinets, which is another benefit of this storage solution (everything off the floor).

I do need to get the freezer out of the garage though. Will free up some space, but mostly it interferes with the cabinet layout.

DWDUC came up and helped me get some of the panels onto the wall for the cabinet system. The tolerances are tight on the brackets used to hang the cabinet bodies, so working through some issues with that since the wall isn't nearly flat enough. I have hung 2 cabinet bodies and a single door. I'll hopefully get a second door and 3rd cabinet body up tonight. Will get a picture or two if so.

Not the best pictures, but moving along on the cabinet install.

Those look good. I need to get some nice cabinets someday.

Is that a Ducati I see?

This cabinets look good. Great job planning this out and taking your time. I'm not patient, and as a result, don't love the mishmash I have going on in the garage right now. I'll get there eventually.

Looked at it yesterday as I was looting your garage for tools. Looks really good! That is going to create so much use-able space for you.

What can ya'all tell me about garage heaters and switches. I have 10ga/3 wire pulled to two junction boxes high on the wall and natural gas plumbed to readily be extended to heaters. I would like to be able to heat the space pretty well, predominantly the 2 car portion. My wiring allows for a heater in the corner of the 2 car and a heater in the corner of the single bay. Total dimensions of the garage are approximately 20x35 with say 12' ceilings on average (8400 ft^3). Using the maths and assuming average insulation (R13 in the walls and R19 in the ceiling), and a temperature change of +12 degrees, it seems I would need units capable of producing 100K BTU. It seems like I could do 2 of something like this: http://www.mrheater.com/50-000-btu-big- ... eater.html. I also pulled wire from the box to two controller locations by the garage entry door to the house, which leads to the next question, what would you do for a controller?

Similarly, my friend's controller for his little heater died. It was an Insteon normally open switch like this one: https://www.smarthome.com/220v-240v-30- ... -band.html. Can't find a replacement anywhere. What would you suggest as a replacement?
