A few years ago, I installed an electric hoist on the ceiling of my garage to lift and hold my Jeep’s hardtop, making one-man installation/removal a breeze (although it’s basically been hanging there for three years ?). The hoist I’m using is entirely too powerful for the ~100lb hardtop, but it was cheap. In my … Read more

Here in North Florida, it gets friggin’ HOT in the summertime. Not that dry Arizona hot that we’ve all heard about a bazillion times (which is a thing)—we’re talking sticky, icky humid hot, where your body starts sweating before you actually walk outside because it knows what’s coming.

But the world is moving quickly towards LED technology becoming the norm (if it’s not already, really), and that’s not a bad thing. LEDs have long lifespans, save energy and render light quite well without that awful green tint … Read more
After living with an obnoxiously loud chain drive garage door opener for eight years, we just replaced our opener with an amazingly quiet belt drive.

The graphic is organized by garage size (e.g., One = single car garage, Two= two-car garage and…. wait for it… Three = three-car garage). Sure, not … Read more
Here in Florida, mosquitoes are rampant but even worse are those *%&$#! noseeums (a.k.a. sandflies). They’re awful and leave you swatting and dancing around like your bladder is about to burst. Oh, and love bugs… absolutely zero love there whatsoever. So when we were considering options to build out our own GarageSpot residential garage (more info on … Read more
