Sorry for the delay in updates life with a 10 month old can be wild. I've managed to make spotty progress and I'll working on getting better pictures. But as long as I keep moving forward I'll be happy. I've been overall good with not adding much in the way of new things so that is a big help...

Modified a driver to fit into a tight space. I had ordered a thin walled version but even it was to thick or the job at hand. So I ground it down to fit. Then painted it lovely safety blue that reminds me of my late father. Worked like a charm!

Side project... this was a nice 3am the baby woke me up and I can't fall asleep project. Something that a month ago would have took much longer as I looked for space, tools, and parts I put aside. It was a simple adding wheels and a handle to a pallet project. Just something to make bring in...

Starting to find more floor and it feels good! Although my workbench has lost some of its free space, more on that in the next picture. I've started to sort though buckets of tools that were my Dads. After he passed I had decided to make up some tool kits for my three nephews with his tools...

Thank you the lighting has been a game change. I look at the other side of the garage that has the old light and it's the sun vs a single candle! I got those from Harbor Freight. I think they go back on sale next month for $16/17 and I'll pick up a few more. I"m in straighten mode for...

Thank you, it feels great to have some good light. I ended up working on a project last night and it was such a nice change. I can't wait to get the rest of them up. I know so few people that park in the garage it is kinda wild. I'll be happy just to move from one side to the other without...

I feel that deep in my soul, good deal but don't need it! I bet 70% done feels amazing. Just starting to let more go and get some things done. Haha I like the exchange idea, always easer when it isn't your stuff.

You've got this... for a second I thought wait I don't have this stuff do I haha. I wish you the best of luck it is going to feel so nice when it is done!

Let there be light! I've added in a good number of lights to the area I'm working in. Right now they are just held up w/zip ties as I'm not sure what my final lighting configuration will end up being. Plus this was a quick way to get moving. Progress over perfection. In other news over...

Haha, good eye... I ended up getting two of those. Maybe one day soon I can move them around in the garage!

Good news on our side is that the rest of the house is in good order. My wife is a bit of a minimalist so that helps. So that garage has been a bit of a hot point for some time. I want to get a shed for outdoor furniture and other seasonal things. Right now the plan is to add a lean to...

Whoa, are you my wife... she called dibs on one of the bays already.

Lots of things, I'd hate to see them get destroyed. Any time I go to use one it is a multi step ordeal just for a quick job. Looking forward to to avoiding that. With a baby now time is not what it used to be.

Oh I am familiar with that one. I've gone through most of the pages.

Mine have been great taking extra. I found out what beer they like too so that will help!
