Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

Enjoyed seeing your super build.

You have made great use of old materials and those beams are way over the top.

Some great buys if you are in the right place at the right time there.

We will keep watching your progress.

Best of luck to you.

Man this build is awesome. As far as the lights inside the wall, are they just the basic ones that you can buy at the big home stores? Thanks, Russ

the lights are from menards they are just cheepo lights but they are high output lights that will come on when its cold.I think they are under 20$ each.

I think you have done one heck of a job with your shop.

I'm 26 and hope one day I can own my own shop like this that I can invest into some of your ideas.

Currently I rent a 5ksq ft morton building that I run a speed shop out of. I mainly dyno tune cars out of it.

I really like your work benchs and how you have trimmed out everything. I plan to do the same to everything that is removable.

Keep up the good work!

E.Rodz...........Always looking forward to what you are doing. Definitely top notch on everything you do. Keep posting up the pics when you have time, which I don't imagine you have too much of. It seems like you have more going on that 5 people.

On the other hand, I just now realized that your '63 is a more-door. Never noticed it before after all the pics I've seen of it. Just shows you where my head is at, at times.

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

just a little updating the house and garage exterior are allmost done and i really need a break getting really burnt out on working 18 hrs a day and still trying to keep up with the family.

house with most of the stone work done.new doors,windows,gutters,soffits,siding ,insulation.

new awning still needs to be finished.so sick of staining and sealing I could puke.just think every rock on house and garage I handled at least 2 or 3 times.

is it wrong that my garage is over a thousand sq. ft bigger than my house?

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

No, not all. What did you expect from the gearheads on this site?

BTW, looking mighty fine, E!

I'm surprised you don't have a direct walkway off that back porch straight to the man door.

 

[rwhite692]

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

finally the install is done and one more corner of the shop is finished!going to try to keep the slab at 62f and turn it up when I need to paint somthing.still have lots to do yet going to finish the celing on the back half of the carport next then the dust collection system wish me luck I going to need it!

Are you using that Stiebel/Eltron unit to heat the water for your in-floor heating system? I have one of those that I bought to have hot water for my shop bathroom, haven't installed it yet though.

I wouldn't think it would be nearly enough BTUs (nor be capable of the duty cycle needed) to run an in-floor heating system...?

if it were not for the greedy insurence co. that would hve been done but the time frame they aloted me to finish the hail damage was insane. had to build a ledger board for future awning just need a little time to design somthing spectacular.

the boiler is a hydro shark2 can't remember the specs.but it is definitly heats the 672sq ft.more than enough.if I remember it is rated for 1200sq ft.in the tundra zone where i am at.

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

Cool. So you are using the Stiebel/Eltron for hot water for your sinks, etc then, right?

I just hooked up mine last night, and tested it out....WOW! I could not believe how much hot water it puts out for such a compact unit.

the unit is just for the in floor heat closed loop system. don't even have running water or a sink in the garage.takes up to much space. thoose little boilers are just awsome.

[E.rodz]

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

man there is just not enough hrs. in the day. almost done with the duct work it works great just one more thing, ok maybe two still need to hook up a 3" for fume removal over the mixing bench.and think I am going to need some make up heat . the fan draws so much it cools off the area to fast so a little tweeking but got everything cleaned out and all the trim done as well as the caulking.

Re: hot rod garage in the works.38x56

Were does the time go can't believe christmas is been here and gone now its almost a new year and I am still working on everything but cars!
that was the whole reason for building my shop but things are starting to come together the air comp intake is done and holy **** does it work awsome.between the sound incloser and the intake 80% of the noise is gone wish I would have done this right away! thought it would look out of place painted red so we painted it to match the cabinets.


started the air piping for this wall hope to finish it tonight and then its time to put everything back against the wall and hook up to the dust collection system!
