Not well. after about 1 year it stopped working completely. probably my fault. The floor was discolored after a year and it wasn't anything that a broom could sweep off. I did pressure wash the floor twice after that because of dirt and **** from so many customer cars thinking it would be bright...

Got a big Menards rebate check in the mail from all the drywall and some of the building materials I bought for the compressor closet. Gotta love the 11% off rebate sales. It was big enough to buy all the lumber needed to build some shelves. I got this project done for free this time! It turned...

Used up my Harbor freight gift cards today and I got the 20 ton press and a pedestal mount for my grinder. I've used my dads 20 ton on wheels and it always feels stable so I picked up some locking casters for mine also. It's nice to roll it out in the open to mess with large items like a...

Just updated the cost spread sheet on the build today. I have entered every receipt in this so far. Every dollar is accounted for. If I needed a box of screws for the dry wall its included in the drywall price. Rounded up to the nearest $5 basically on everything. I'm in about $38,000 so far. I...

The challenger is a customer car. I just did some performance upgrades. The last update at the track it ran 10.20's. He wanted 9's but he has been struggling with computer tuning issues. On that last pass the car nosed over at about 1,100 feet and had no power and coasted to a 10.20. its got 9's...

Once the lift was working and the building had all of the electric, I immediately started doing general auto repair out of it to get the funds to keep going. I've made about $3,500 in the last 3 months. I have been putting most of that back into to get this place finished.

I had a little time this weekend to start the drywall. Got 2 walls done. Man that is a lot of work. I'm no expert so I'll let the professionals tape and paste this in spring lol. Garage is starting to look a lot brighter now. I got a killer deal on a pub table and bar stools the other day. $42...

Yup. I extended the drain out to where you could actually get to it. that factory one you had to get down and reach way under it. I just put a hose barb on it and have 10 feet of hose off it so I can throw it outside and shut the garage door on it when I blast the air and water out. works out...

I finally had some time over the long weekend to get this compressor going. I had a bunch of left over drywall from doing the ceiling so I used all the scraps to finish off the back walls where the closet will be. I picked up a campbell hausfeld regulator/dryer and some plumbing and the shut off...

geez. remind me not to move there lol.

They didn't question when I bought this house. It already had the drain in the main garage. what are they gonna do? say you need to concrete your floor before your allowed to put it for sale come on. lol

I had a garage once with no drain and I squeegeed the water out the door and shut it. next morning opened the door and it was frozen to the ground. it struggled to open and stopped. tried 3 times then it broke free and ripped the rubber seal off the bottom of the door. Just put the floor drains...

Floor drains are awesome. My house garage has a round one and the floor tapers towards it. I wash cars inside in the winter and it works great. My shop has a 2 post lift and I didn't do a drain but I quickly found out it would have been nice to taper the floor toward the door and put a trough...

I only did 12'-6" and I needed 14'. cant go back. my atlas pro 9D wont lift my escalade all the way up for over 6ft person to walk under it so I'd need the next model up which requires 13ft ceilings which now wont fit. I just live with it. oh well.

Its fixed! After looking at every piece of wiring in the whole damn thing I started thinking okay what about the power coming into the furnace. Pulled apart the kill switch on the electrical box on the side of the furnace and the wires looked solid. then went to the outlet in the wall. plugged...
