Thanks! I’ve been loving the race deck this winter. It’s so easy to clean, and it keeps the floor very walkable for my wife when she gets out of the car in the wet / snow. Close on the bike, it’s a Trek Roscoe 8. It was my first adult mountain bike. Lots of fun to ride, especially out here in...

It’s been cold out, and I’ve had plenty of other work project to keep me busy. But yesterday, one of our garage door springs failed, and the door didn’t open all the way. My wife couldn’t see it from her back up camera, but the door was just below her vehicle roof line, and it put a nasty scrape...

A garage needs garage art, and I knew early on that i wanted framed prints. I was thrilled when I came across this collection of cinematic beauties, and tried to narrow my selection down to a handful of icons over the years. Very happy with how they came out. Now it’s very clear how desperately...

Been busy with work for a bit, so progress had halted on the garage. We had plans to do builtins around our fireplace, which turned I to a much bigger project for me, but overall I am thrilled with the outcome. When we moved into the house we tackled the floors, and it’s been ever progressing...

Played in the garage tonight. Figuring out best place for tool layouts in the new cabinet, but it was good to get back to wrenching (first time since we’ve been in the new house)

Such an incredible design! I absolutely love the blend of architecture, automotive, tech that has gone into this build. Envious in every way :D

Looks awesome! great space in that garage!

Interesting. I'll give it a try. We used the garage pretty actively prior to me starting the garage project, and we certainly hadn't noticed any fumes from the 2 cars below. busy with work all day today (still on a call), so little progress was made today. Just assembled a work stool and...

Gotcha. we haven't experienced any issues with fumes or draft from the garage (its pretty sustainably insulated right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if it already treated) Prior to moving to Douglas, we had never been to, nor heard of the town, and there really isn't much out here. Primarily...

Appreciate it! it's getting there, still lots of progress to be made. The old house was great, had wonderful character dating back to the 1920's. We didn't outgrow the house as much as we did the area that we were living in. In the new house We have a family room above the garage. It's a large...

Alright, time for an update Started the morning by throwing the cabinets in: Had a slight challenge due to the lally columns forcing me to bring the entire wall out 3.5": Added a rear wall behind the counter to close up the gap: Threw an old TV on the counter for now, might go...

Was getting sick of looking at the locker pallets facedown on the trailer. I knew I needed to remove them this week so that I could toss the pallets and all the packaging material this week. broke it all down to inspect for damage, and moved them into the garage. Overall I am very pleased with...

Alright, back pedaling some notes on the progress here. I didn’t love the placement of the storage rack, so after some playing around I decided to place it in the recessed area off in the back, and put the work top that was intended for the recess against the back wall. Cabinets and lockers...

Photo dump, until I can get back to provide some narrative. Alright Day 2, every one knows the rules. Fired through the second bay quickly. Spend a bit of extra time ensuring that the floor was centered prior to committing to any cuts. Slowly shuffled the contents of the garage around to...

Will leave it here for the night. I am very pleased with how easy this stuff is to work with!
