This project is part of our larger garage workshop build series where we cover building the woodworking workshop of our dreams from the ground up. In this part of our series, we tackle the ceiling. We decided to go with Plywood for the visual appeal it provides but also because it’s much easier to install when compared to a traditional drywall ceiling. But how much did it cost us and was it worth it in the end? Watch to the end to find out!
In this part of our workshop remodel series, we made custom garage shop doors out of plywood that look like real wood carriage doors but are easier and cheaper to make. For us, these doors are a temporary solution until we have the time and resources to build a real set of solid wood doors; so we don’t need them to last a lifetime, just a few years without falling apart.
It’s finally here…the moment we’ve been waiting nearly four years to get to. We are finally tackling the garage workshop. It’s been difficult building custom cabinetry and furniture for the house in our makeshift shop, and with a bathroom and bedroom reno looming in the horizon, we need a place to work that is clean, organized and efficient. Unfortunately, when we started demo-ing the inside we found a huge amount of termite damage and mold so we ended up having to tear most of it down and start over. This video covers how we rebuilt the structure from the ground up and includes siding, roofing, painting, exterior trim and of course framing.
