Hi there.
I figured I would finally join now that I actually have a garage worth posting about. My family and I recently moved for work to Southwest Florida and one of the major requirements I had in looking for a new house was a big *** garage.
Yes- it was actually written that way on our check list.
Well- we found a great house with a semi attached 1100 sq foot garage that definitely fit the bill. We moved in early in January of this year. Sounds like a great start to a new chapter in our lives, right?
30 days after moving in there was an electrical fire in the garage and the smoke caused extensive damage to the contents which included 8 motorcycles, all my tools, my cabinets, shelves, tool chests, refrigerators, tire changer, compressor, tractor, and a boat load of motorcycle parts. Did you know that soot can cause flash rusting to any metal? It can turn a brand new drill press in to a heavy, rusty, door stop in less than 24 hours. Sounds like a bad story now.
But there is a silver lining to this headache of a situation revolving around insurance and claims adjusters.
I get to redesign my garage the way I want it!!
I will try to start up a build thread to get input and confirmation of ideas I have when I can. This site has been great for sparking ideas and inspiration.
