    Need ideas for race car theme

    Nothing is finalized, but I am thinking the 24' width and only about 12 feet deep. I have a constraint on that I keep my trailer in there and it will not fit under the mezzanine. I would also like to do a side run (think L shaped mezzanine) but that may not be worth the cost.

    Need ideas for race car theme

    I have seen one garage door with a mural on the inside of it that looked awesome.

    Need ideas for race car theme

    I do like the poster idea. I have some posters from BIR and have created some artwork for races up there. I will be at Road America this weekend. BIR, Topeka, Daytona, VIR are other tracks I have been at. I am currently working on carbon fiber track outlines that will be three dimensionally...

    Need ideas for race car theme

    I buy 4-5 sets of Hoosiers per year. I don't want a reminder of that expense. I raced quarter midgets as a young boy. I would like to find one now and put it on display. I passed on one a few years ago and now I am kicking myself.

    Need ideas for race car theme

    I am looking to add a racing theme to my 24 X 40 garage condo for an upcoming remodel. I will add a mezzanine, with a storage, desk, and lounge area as well. I use the garage to work on the car and hang out in. It is not spotless, but it also gets seen at some social events. It is not locked...

    I don't' know what my neighbor has, but it looks like a granite tabletop, only not polished smooth. It looks awesome. I wonder if it is quartz?

    Fountain Pump tripping GFI

    I don't have easy access to another one. I have extension cords, so I guess I could reach the inside bathroom somehow. I am guessing it is the pump since the pump had issues. Only a guess and I am far from being an electrician.

    Fountain Pump tripping GFI

    I had an outdoor fountain installed last year. It ran fine for a couple of months, then I brought it inside for the winter and kept it in water as the installer recommended. In the spring it would not start up when I plugged it in. I called the installer and they come out and got it working...

    Do you let your wife use your tools?

    Cake pans are good for draining oil. She made me buy a new one after she saw me doing that though.

    heating cost. floor vs. air

    I have radiant in floor heating. 24 X 40 with 16' ceilings and neighbors on 3 sides. I live in MN and we had a mild winter. I kept the garage in the low 50 degrees. My electric bill has been $15 - $25 per month for the last 10 months. Next winter I will keep the place warmer and pay an...

    Slatwall product for the garage

    Not all slat wall accessories work with each other. I have both craftsman and storewall. Home depot has a version as well. Storewall is nicer, but harder to buy accessories for it.
