Don't forget to add a safety strap for the water heater.

In case of an earthquake.

We probably won't need those on this coast.

Can you tell me about the parking blocks? Where did you buy them? Are they anchored to the floor in some way or are they heavy enough that they don't slide around?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, I got them online. I will have to check to see if I can find where I ordered them. (I'll PM you if I can find the info)

The blocks are anchored to the floor with bolts so I can park my Acura and Corvette up against them and still close the garage doors and have the most room towards the work bench.

I am very jealous of those with LARGE and HIGH CEILING garages.

Also, I painted lines on my garage floor to know exactly where to park so I can open both cars doors fully (towards the wall) without hitting them. I park the Acura facing in and the Corvette is backed in. There is only about 8 inches between then when I park correctly.

OK, found them I think.

Thanks for the link, I will look them up.

I can sure relate to the close quarters in the garage. This is what I have to work with. Tight and too much "stuff", but I make do.
