We mixed one batch at a time!!

I did overhaul on my entire garage and posted a more comprehensive thread about the house/garage in the garage gallery. This is dealing with only the floor component. My house is very prominent in the neighborhood and I frequently have social gatherings in the garage so I designed it more for...

#2 knotty pine/tongue and groove. There are no sparks flying in this garage(welding) and the walls that needed to be dry walled (by code) are dry wall...fyi!!

Thank you!!!

I did not stain nor did I install. Had I not been working so much, I would have stained them as that was the easiest part. I would never attempt to install the doors as this was a little tricky and the pro's nailed it. Those torsion springs scare the **** out of me too. The doors were...

He was drug tested when booked and he was clean!!! Drugs would have been the obvious choice. He had a pizza in the back seat but it had an address of a house one street back. Sort of like he pulled into my garage to find his bearings and then things went hay-wire!!

And the story get more bizzare. The pizza hut delivery guy was a "straight arrow"(no drugs or criminal record) delivery guy for 5 years. After he ran through the door, he walked into our house and washed his hands at the sink. There were all kinds of people walking around downtown and I got two...

Actually, the stone is on all side but the back as the 2nd owner had plans and was ready to go to add an additional 3000 sq feet onto the back of the house. He hit a buzz saw with the downturn of the construction industry in the early 90's and we ended up buying the house out of forclosure. Just...

Thank you. We feel the house is such a part of Frederick and we are lucky enough to be here for a short while. I pride myself in maintaining the original character of the house, best I can.

As it turns out, a masonry guy bought the house from the original owner and only had it a few years until I(third owner) bought the property. He added the garage around 1990. He actually went back to the original quarry to get the matching stone from the original build as they are still cutting...

Turns out the doors weigh about 250 lbs each from what I can remember when they were installed. The openers are actually the old openers and are not big openers at all. The door will actually "sit" in position until it gets down to about 2 feet off the floor. I can put it up with three fingers...

yep!!

Yea, it turns out it was built in 1929 which was during the great depression. The guy who built it was one of the few who had cash during that time and I am sure bought his labor for a "song". The original family lived in the house from 1929 until 1988. It was actually the first house in our...

A few years ago, a pizza delivery guy drove through one of my garage doors and did me the favor of a lifetime....by accident. Much like woman's ear rings, you cannot replace just one so a month later, I had brand new 4 inch thick mahogany garage doors. This got me thinking about upgrading my...
