Police auctions canada used to have them occasionally. I havent been watching lately.
It may be cheaper and fit better to use a crap wardrobe. Riding gear with pads can be bulky for a locker.

I got three replacement windows for the house and due to some installation details they are taking a lot longer to install than when I was in the trade 40+ years ago. Two are in with one yet to be foamed and caulked. The third may get left until the spring due to Covid and weather. Caulk and foam don't like the cold and if our Covid numbers continue to go up Douggie could pull the shopping plug with me having the third window half installed.
I have enough other interior projects to keep me going until April (2040). Life goes on.

I know you are being sarcastic, but you might was well rebuild the entire house if it will take you that much time.

Lots of character in the look of the wood, hopefully you don't clean it up too much to remove the look.
Looks like a good location for an indoor trials course. You're out of the wind and working pretty hard so temperature is less important.
Nope. Just a cleaning. The holes in the barn boards stay for the snowflakes to blow thru.
Some of the old hay at the bottom still had leaves attached. Which means it was loose hay from days before bales existed.
That’s so awesome I’m speechless....
Anyone have a source with stock for garage doors? Ours have been backordered and the supplier waited 6 weeks to tell us. Need 3 9x9 and 1 10x8 Amarr Designers Choice preferred.
Good call going for wider doors. 8' doors are not ideal for constant vehicle use (my wife only has <2" on each side of the mirrors).
No idea about stock or product lines, but I have used these guys for parts before. They were helpful and responsive and the price was reasonable.

The garage at your Barrie property can become a buffer zone between the conditioned interior space and the outdoors when you have insulated garage doors. Having a garage at your home is a great benefit that provides you with a place to keep your car(s) protected from theft, vandalism, damage...

Im hoping to finish up all the drywall, mudding and sanding the garage this weekend. Then paint as it’s a small portion left and start building my bench / storage / gym area within the garage.
actually looking for inspiration on building storage and bench in the garage in the evenings.

Depending on how you plan on using the garage, a flip up bench (hinged to wall, drop down legs to support) is worthy of consideration. That allows project space to become car space if desired and more importantly every flat surface accumulates crap, keeping the bench up most of the time means it is clear when you want to use it. Maybe a small bench that is always ready with a vice on it and the big one flip up as a compromise.
Good call @GreyGhost i haven’t considered a flip up. One thing I wanted under the bench is some storage space and I’ll be building some shelving. It was in the other thread I was dissuaded by GTAM from buying the shiny NewAge shelving a while back.
Another temporary bench solution I have used before is a benchtop across two rolling tool boxes (8' bench top, ~52" on boxes, 44" between the boxes). Lots of tool storage, easy to move around, easy to shrink if you need space

I like the Barmac guys in Concord. I had a very low garage, 7' clearance from floor to ceiling - they put together a 7x18' door and a low headroom track system that worked brilliantly. Then I built my detached garage, I put in 9'x8 single doors, they replaced some crap Wayne Daltons with their house brand -- great performance and price.

Storage: can't beat industrial racking. It's dirt cheap, reconfigurable and tough. In one of my places I had a 16x22' garage that had 12' clear to the trusses. I had 4'deep shelves across the back and mezzanine over the whole garage at 7'6 off the ground, all made from standard off the shelf uprights and beams.
You can also make great benches from readirack. Cut verticals to bench height, use 2 beams at the top and one at the bottom rear then toss on a top. You can also bolt or weld casters on the uprights to make a movable bench.
Yes wife has never had garage parking so I'm hoping these wider doors will avoid carnage.Good call going for wider doors. 8' doors are not ideal for constant vehicle use (my wife only has <2" on each side of the mirrors).

My wife is pretty good but the odds are not in her favour. Keep doing something dumb often enough and eventually it bites you. One mirror is now a little shorter and the aluminum trim on the other side is a bit beat up after a few hundred trips through.
Can confirm....both cars scratched in old house with a single tiny garage....one by me one by wife.
