as someone who just wired a detached garage, I highly recommend just wiring ALL outlets with 12-2, for 20A rated outlets. If you even THINK you need high draw outlets (compressor, welder, vacuums, heat guns, etc), run individual 12-2 runs per outlet. I have (6) dedicated 20A outlets, all fed by...

Start here... 2005 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Picked up my 99 BMW M3 with some minor Dinan parts already on it. E-4, living in the barracks, loving life, delivering pizzas on base. I picked up E5 shortly after, and was able to get housing allowance to live out in town, and rented a place up the hill...

Once I get home, plan on sharing all my garages over the last 18 years of military service. Cars, toys, trucks, trailers, and guns. Been hawking GJ for a long time, but never really started a full thread, as never had a garage "of my own". Little about me.. "Pew Pew" and "Sonic" are my...

Need to go to 21 on current contract, but if I can get a sweet gig teaching in the Hampton Roads area, and not move again, I'll "probably" stay til 24. At a point now, that the money is decent finally, things are settling, and I'm in a more administrative/managerial role. Current assignment on a...

Bringing this back a little bit. 8.5 months of deployment, back in VA at the end of the month. Hope I can convince the wife to break ground on the detached, but it sounds like a Kitchen reno, and flooring upgrade may be on the horizon.

Appreciate it! Cant complain about the toys as a weapons instructor, and a sonar technician hunting for things unda the sea.. Moving 13 times in the last 18 years, never really had exactly what I wanted for garages, but I've always made it work the best I could. Ive been on GJ since 2007, but...

ill trade you! My wife wants all the green grass. I cant keep a green yard if i wanted to! just finished all 700+ posts in the last 3 days. Stuck out here in the Med, floating around on a destroyer. Cant wait to get back and join all you normal people working in the garage. HAHA Love...

ap preciate the info.. thanks!

Great thread! Love all the work you've done and the reclaimed sheet metal is a GREAT idea. If you dont mind, what did it cost to "dry in" the building? Slab, and building costs? Wife and I are trying to figure out what direction we want to go. Trying to cut cost down from a normal stick build

thanks for the bump!!!! just finished reading all 22 pages from the beginning while Im floating around out here in the Med, on USS Cole DDG-67. Killing time, waiting to get home to the wife/kids after a 9 month deployment! Wife and I are looking at doing something like this in 5-10 years when...

Mpower, bimmerforums, havent heard that one in a while. Remember my time there vividly, as a massive E36 fan. I'm 99MPower on BFC as well. I ran the DIY/FAQ page there, and did tons of DIYs. What was your screen name over there? My race car "Traqrat" actually was one of the first cars on...

sooo... just finished 33 pages of your amazing adventures.. all #1285.. wait now 1286 posts, in the last 3-4 days while I'm floating around out here in the Med on USS Cole DDG-67 killing time, and dreaming about doing dumb stuff and making fun of myself online, instead of stuck in a floating...

Pretty awesome, and well done. Just finished reading entire thread, while I'm floating around in the ocean with the US Navy, dreaming about my build when I get the chance. Currently in the med on the USS Cole DDG 67 Im in Chesapeake, VA, and head into Raleigh to shoot at Sir Walter Gun Club...
