I've been visiting that forum for the past 5 years. I drool over the garage gallery and get ideas for my own garage.

Garage Journal has the usual forum noise, but dig a little and very solid advice is buried in the threads.
Its the second most expensive forum I know of, Rennlist is first. Until GJ I don't think I ever owned $100 worth of tools in my life, now $100 is a target for free shipping, and I have almost fleshed out a fairly complete set of tools.
I stay away from the Garage side, stick in the shallow end of just tools. The Garages are beyond amazing, ultimate man caves.

When my mouse wanders over to my toolbar bookmark to that forum my wallet starts crying.

I always make it a note to show my wife the cool garages that other guys have. She's seen enough garages that she is on board with having the floors professionally epoxied and putting in a lift. Caveat is that I need to come up with the $$$.
Rick your garage is something to aspire to....very nice setup.

Afshin--
Many-year GJ reader here.
I'll offer that, if you can get the lift at the same time as or before you are ready for a new floor, don't waste your money on the epoxy. Go directly to porcelain tile with a good epoxy grout. Roller jacks can be tough on tile, must use a pad under them to avoid scratching and possible cracking. With a lift, that problem pretty much disappears.

Old thread, but I just found it on an unrelated search.
GarageJournal is a pretty great forum -- and like you guys say, very expensive. I started out there with what I thought was a finished garage and ended up re-doing every wall in my little 20x22 two-car.
I'm lucky my 911 is so small.

Just finished
Checked out that site and it's AOK. Just finished the garage/studio space yesterday. The 928 should be back from paint real soon, and I'll slide it in there. T

I saw your post on the GJ. I just love everything about it, from the drainage out front to the ivy on the gutter. Nice table, too.

Jack,
When I first went to the Garage Journal, I spent much time on your 12 Gauge Garage Thread. Love the story and all the things you did there!!

First thread I read there, and not long ago. Jack's work has been a real inspiration for my own 20 x 20 project. Also interesting how many of the guys over there are Porsche folk.
