Nice delco signs! I like the can rack and the shoe shelf. Keep chipping away at it!

Looks great Jim. your house/yard setup is strangely similar to mine! I'm NORTH of DC in Silver Spring, have a .25 ac lot which is also about 65' wide and 200' deep! I've got a similar plan in the works, even with the patio/outdoor kitchen plan! of course I'd guess my house is about 1/2 the...

thanks again, Bruce. A catalog is a good idea (duh). I will have to dig and see if I have one old enough.

just wanted to show off a partial carter tool kit I rescued from under a tarp a few weeks back. This makes 2 I've got now, but I'm not sure if either is complete. I wish the box was in a little better condition, but I love the graphic on the inside of the lid.

+1 on the photos. real nice. I love the sketch too. My lot is just about the same size/config as yours, with a small house from 1948 too. I'd love to do something similar, but not quite as wide. It really has the look of a 1960s era gas station, which I love. keep the updates coming!
