Those look really good. Now I want some cabinets and a work bench. Any reason you didn't opt for more outlets while doing this?

My workers didn't want to do it, lol. And i've got a big 6ft power strip that'll go on the bench so it was no biggie. I added one to the other side of the garage, and moved another outlet over, but this just wasn't a priority.


Also, put about 750 sq ft of plywood up in the attic.

Nice transformation, looks a ton better especially without the water heater. I was checking out the deck on the wall thought it was a hobie at first.

Some pics. They are slowly wrapping up today's.

I can't express how pleased I am with the cabinets. Tons of space and versatility. All the doors and drawers are soft/auto close. The drawers have great dividers. Quality is far beyond what I expected to be honest.

This slatwall shit is money. And I can't reiterate how happy I am with the cabinets. About 95% cleaned up and done.

I ordered the set from Home Depot. It worked out cheapest and I figure HD will be the easiest to deal with if there is a problem. Just about everyone carries this stuff though. I went back and forth between Costco, garage organization.com, HD, and the newage site before settling.

I decided on the cheaper bold series after reading the reviews and the newage site that said that bold and pro were made to look the same so the collections can be intermingled. I got a starter set and 4' cabinet (another reason I went with bold) and figured I could fill in with additional pro pieces later.

I have since discovered that while the two collections look the same, they have different dimensions. For instance the lower cabinets are a different height, so I won't be able to put them side by side. Dumb.

Anyway, I'm excited, but I definitely jumped the gun a bit. I wanted to paint the floor, but the slab is probably too cold... And I'm going to have this giant pile of stuff to keep moving as I work from one corner to the next. Ugh.

Yea. The dimensions were a big factor in me getting the pros. that and costcos set fit my needs nearly perfectly, only thing is the work bench is bigger then I needed/wanted initially.

Curious to see how you like them.

Everything looks great. Really like the color too. I was wasn't sure about the white/grey combo but now seeing it installed it looks really good.

Anyone with an opinion hated the white grey idea. Came out much better then expected.

I ordered a set and an additional 4ft wide cabinet. The cabinet is being delivered today by UPS

Chances it arrives in good condition?

The large cabinet that arrived today came in two flat pack boxes. Nobody said anything about assembly.

If the set comes this way I'm seriously effed.

It said delivery the first or second week of March, but it's already in the trucker's facility in South Jersey

I think this is where you messed up Brian. I don't have these ones but I have the Gladiator Garageworks cabinets and wall system. There is a "premier" line and an "RTA" ready to assemble line. RTA is cheaper but requires assembly. premier line is welded from factory and built much better.

I guess we'll see. I looked again at the description and it says 'minimal assembly required.' I figured that meant I would have to put the legs on and install the shelves.

I'm hoping it's just because it was such a large cabinet. I have to say though, it was a breeze to put together. There are no screws or bolts. The whole thing just snapped together. The biggest pita was unpacking it all and dealing with the giant pile of styrofoam and cardboard.

Ordered a few sheets of slatboard from the lumber yard. I figure it'll be easier to just cover the walls than try to repair and paint them plus, there's the added bonus that I'll have places to hang stuff.

right now, i'm debating new lights. I have 4 - 4 bulb t8 fixtures (one dying T5 double fixture, and a random T8 double fixture). I've got a LED fixture coming today to see how I like it.

Amazon Amazon

i'm tempted to try these:
