What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[ZRX61]

Spent far too long looking for my buzzy tool which I had managed to conceal in plain sight on my workbench right in front of my goddamn eyes...

 

[Cdcrowell]

Put up a lighted Nashville sign

 

[nadogail]

Mended a favorite old shirt, the first time I have done hand sewing in more than 40 years. The shirt was torn where the front body joins the yoke. I was fortunate to find a needle in the sewing box Mrs Nadogail inherited from her mother that had an eye large enough to thread with my 82 year old eyes. The wooden spool the thread as wound on is probably almost an antique. I guess sewing by hand is like riding a bicycle; once you have done it you can do it again as long as you can climb aboard.

 

[Renegade1LI]

Tried to clean up the mess I have been making, it's so much easier taking out tools & supplies, putting them back is much harder.

 

[Outlawmws]

Hung blinds in the office after dinner - On top of a 12 hr work day -- I'm done...

 

[ezriderga]

Recently I cleaned up my truck but did not get to the wheels and tires so I cleaned them up today.

 

[Magnum440d100]

Took the engine support bar out of the dining room and onto the impala.


I was going to pull engine/trans as one, but decided against it. I’ll just have to deal with the rust underneath.

 

[DeeDubz]

I cut a hole in the side of my shop an installed a gable vent. Hopefully today ill finish the install by putting the attic fan up.

 

[ZRX61]

Cleaned the pollen/dust off my ‘08 Tacoma using my original California Duster which I’ve had for 25 years. I think I have only washed it once or twice and it still does a great job.

Washing method? Mine is filthy.

 

[rd65]

Spent two hours cleaning the shop, got about half way done. FIL is coming over this Saturday w/ a table top he is building to try out the epoxy thing. He wants to use my shop as his is too messy (his words, it's a wood working shop). Hopefully it turns out good.

 

[ChaseDE]

This weekend up to yesterday I.....

cleaned out the shed, it was sooooo messed up

cleaned out the "garage room" it was a garage, converted to a room, now used as a garage of sorts ugh

randomly parked next to a harley that matched my car lol

installed a amazon fart can on the beater car, sounds cool man, yes I used clamps, deal with it

replaced a really old worn out wood door on the porch with a cheapo vinyl one I already need a turnbuckle for lol

 

[930dreamer]

Moved everything from this North wall to place some machinery there.

 

[ZRX61]

Unpacked & put away my new tool arrivals.



Repurposed a Camel cigs tin that I've had for about 25 years for the drill bits...

[stoich]

Got the 230v circuit finished for the new lift. Added a disconnect switch as well. Can now stack a couple cars and free up a garage bay

 

[Blackbyrd]

@Cdcrowell another Tennessean!!!!

 

[DeeDubz]

finished up the attic fan install. That was a *****...

 

[ZRX61]

Dismantled my 3/8 Matco ratchet & put some Lubriplate in it.

Dismantled, inspected & fettled the rear brake on the ZRX1100.

Had a look at the Dot3 in the ZRX1100 clutch m/c, buggered one of the screws that holds the cover on. Hand impact sorted that. Will be getting 4 M3 countersink allen screws at Lowes this weekend.

 

[ZRX61]

& I remembered to push on the brake pedal a couple of times after I got done...

 

[ZRX61]

More paint prep on the garage door frames.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Broke up a couple dead Honda clone engines.

 

[smackey05]

Bought an ultrasonic cleaner for some small car parts. Liking this purchase so far.

 

[GreenIron]

Painted two barn-style doors.

 

[vwracer]

Smakey, where did you buy that cleaner?

 

[Kevkx125]

Put my new green swing arm spools on my street bike.

 

[rmalkow2]

Installed a new Flaming River steering box and new chrome shorty headers on the ‘29 Ford Roadster.

 

[engineer2]

Oil change on my DD before the wife takes it on a road trip. Same car had been to the Honda dealer this week for an axle recall. I'm OK with free axles for a 12 year old car. Found their wheel alignment sucked. On two visits found that angles were all over the place. At least on the second try they got the steering wheel straight. They replaced the wheel speed sensor they broke and when I got home found they hadn't latched the hood. That's OK, I was going to change the oil anyway. I didn't get mad at them. I've accidentally ripped the wire during and axle change myself.

 

[ZRX61]

Put my new green swing arm spools on my street bike.

Purple ones on my ZRX, but they were free...... 23 years ago.

 

[jeep63]

Not “in” but just outside…

Removed the failing stickers on my new to me tractor.

 

[jonshonda]

Rolled my SO Classic 78 outside foe the new owner to evaluate. Young kid who is a new diesel mechanic will be putting it to good use!

 

[Crazyjake8493]

Moved a bunch of plants back outside after last night's frost. Fixed the parking brake on the riding mower so it doesn't roll away when I get off to pick up a stick. Cleaning up the mower deck now and getting that ready to go on.

 

[ZRX61]

I won't be doing anything today. I've done something to my left wrist while sleeping & will going to Walgreens to get a brace after I've 3S'd. Probably get the same kind I have for my right wrist that gets used when the non-union scaphoid fracture/bone graft opens up.

Edit: and now my right knee gave out in the shower...almost went *** over teakettle

Knees are a hoot...

 

[ZRX61]

Went to Walgreens, no joy (altho I did find a boonie hat), went to a local family owned pharmacy & found just what I was looking for...

& as I was in the area I dropped by Horrible Fright...




Then I took the Doyle dikes & duckbills to the fiber deburring wheel, cleaned up the finish & knocked down the sharp corners etc.

Before:



Apparently I took some of these pics with a potato...



After:

 

[smackey05]

Smakey, where did you buy that cleaner?

I picked it up off Amazon.

[Copymutt]

Drilled and tapped the crank snout on the 55 for a balancer. Early 54 production, it never had one.
After- First pull on my newest brew. Altered DNA Shocktop wheat. Diggin the peated barley, orange, lime, lemon zest.

Does ON my garage count? Okay so maybe it was on the house, but it's right by the garage! I noticed a few shingles were loose last week so when I went to town I picked up a pack of shingles, a tube of tar and roofing nails. I was going to do them tuesday but snow pushed that back till today. I had to pull a couple more shingles down than I'd expected and there's one more that replacing couldn't hurt but it's not moving and everything got a good coating of tar, myself included.

 

[PassnThru]

Roofing cement is the darker cousin to antiseize compound - you can't use it without getting covered in it. One hand? You got out lucky

Yup, lol That stuff will find it’s way into your hair, under your clothes, and somehow on your furniture. Even when you didn’t go in the house!
