Well, it has been some time since I updated anything. Thought I would share the latest update to the garage - new lights! I finally had a neighbor who installed the HEX lights and he let me swing by to check them out. Boy does it make a difference. Here are some before and afters. You can...

In!

found a free spinning lug on my '66 f100 wheel hub. not ready for the disc brake upgrade yet, so on the way to buy a cheap/small welder to weld it in place to get me through. Also started to re-organize my garage with the new shelving.

I did a thing! bought me some bigger, better shelves for the garage. Some 48"x24"x72" adjustable shelving. Planning to put them up this week/weekend. and move the golf clubs and jack stands off the floor. freeing up some space. Oh, and then work on the new shop truck...

Ford 429 big block with a Weiand tunnel ram intake holding up two Edelbrock 1405 carbs. eats tires and chugs gas. but a whole lot of fun. very much an ongoing project. here is my build thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1751531-slick-66-15k-budget-build.html

OOh flat file cabinets.....filled with tools? or documents? I'm keen for a flat file like that. been looking forevery for a decent price. but they are pricey.

yea I have time to reserach this. I dont have the lights purchased yet. when I do it, it will be an all or nothing situation. gotta have light! French cleats are a good idea. and I like wheels very much. I have one really nice little cart on wheels already and suits the need well. The window...

Illumination!!! at least that's what I want to ask about. This is the wiring for the existing lights in the garage (there are two lights, both turn on with a single switch). The next photos is the plug I would like to install so I can run lights all over the garage. Install looks straight...

Well, found some free plastic shelving from a neighbor cleaning out his garage which helped finish most of my organizing. and then installed the bike mount to the wall to get it out of the way. I'm very pleased with this but really want to get two 48"Wx24"Dx72"T cabinets to replace all three of...

wow this is amazing feedback! thanks everyone!. this house was built in 2022. these bricks were used on the exterior only, and they are leftover. the builder just left them in the garage. Safe to say, it sounds like not using these bricks for a fire pit is the right way to go. thanks again!

Howdy all, I have a bunch of leftover bricks used for the exterior of our house. Think they are good for a fire pit?

maybe its me but i feel like this kind of situation is easy to see coming so can be avoided. oh well to each their own. a nice set of wrenches is a nice set.
