Nice work, great video. Get the Kreg pocket hole jig that clamps to your work bench, it'll save a tone of time!! I basically did the same thing but added doors and paint.

Thanks so much for your sharing expertise, and help. I got hooked on your videos, when I saw you show how to adjust shower glass door (and hinge). I knew that I would break the glass, but with your help, no problem. Thanks again.
P.S. I’m 56 y/o, & this is the first time that I’ve ever written a comment. Thanks again. You rock.

Great idea building the face frame on the wall. Definitely going to use this.

Dude looks so good! Now I just need a garage!

wow that makes perfect sense to build vertical frame outline. my garage too slopes away from the home and its created a headache for me on another project

Would love to see the finish and both cars in the garage!

Just a tip I got from Finish Carpentry, buy your lumber at a real Lumberyard, it is better quality and less expensive. I also highly recommend the Franklin Stud Finder, it is amazing.

Awesome! I can’t wait to get to it. How2Q has the best info!

I like this method. I'm trying to get my head around how the frame was based on the level horizontal. I would think when you move the frame away from the wall it would need to be adjusted for the pitch in the garage. Help me out brother. What am I missing?
Great video!!

do you have instructions on how to make the shelves?

[albertalbert]

Why not build the shelf independant from the wall so u don't mess with the walls and can move it around or even sell it if u no longer want it ?

[aaronbell]

Should of attached them little timbers befor you fixed them to the wall 👌
