I haven't been on the Garage Journal Forum for some time and I couldn't stop reading this post. Thanks alot for all the ideas. Some of you really cracked me up with how to get at your neighbors. I have alot of garage but if I decide to build more, the last ones I will speak to are the two on...

Thanks for the nice slide show. Looks like you put alot of thought into it. Nice to see the compressor isolated. I always tell people to build as big as they can. I have 11 stalls and it isn't big enough. You have a real nice shop. One would think a city would let one build bigger instead...

A really long thread. I read all of the "Bunker" thread yesterday so I skipped to the end of this one. I piped lines from my compressor in the basement when I built the house 10 years ago. It is in a room for the compressor and the electrical subpanel. It is enclosed and insulated so little...

Maybe alot of neighborhoods look alike in Minnesota. Houses all built at the same time after the war with little imagination but to just get one built. Tom, I have an old girlfriend that I believe lives in Eden Praire. Not real sure. My present girlfriend graduated in 64 and was the last of...

Well, this pretty much took care of most of my afternoon. Once I started reading about the "Bunker" build, I couldn't stop. I was blown away by the scope and uniqueness of it. I have an 11 stall attached garage that is a constant work in progress so I enjoy seeing other people's ideas. A...

I came from St. James so that is a ways away. My girlfriend graduated from Roosevelt though. Looks like you are along an alley so maybe more traffic by your garage than you would like. I try to keep my garage doors closed as much as possible so fewer people know what I have inside. I'm lucky...

Your neighborhood looks simular to the type I grew up in in Minnesota. It would be great if you could get the floor done before you moved your stuff but that may not work for you. You can always move stuff around for drywall etc. I like your idea of the metal plate along the jamb. Hopefully it...

Thanks Dave. Of course, if I spend too much time here, I won't get any projects done. I truly enjoy seeing what others have done. Even if one isn't very wealthy, one can always make your own garage better to work in by just organizing what you do have.

Today I decided to check back on this website, which was tough as the last time it was called "garagejunkies". So it had been awhile. Anyhow, once I opened it up, I couldn't stop reading all the posts. What a wonderfull man you are to take the time to post your photos,information,thoughts,and...

I just looked at this thread but see you folks are talking about bigger sanders. About 10 years ago we were in Aladdin, South Dakota on a poker run. They were having belt sander races. What a kick that was. They had tracks as wide as the sander and plugged in so the starter gave them power...

It seems as tho no matter what one does, someone is going to complain or degrade what you did. In my case, I was the first to build on my cul-de-sac and made special effort to build within the covenants, or I would have gone someplace else. The developer didn't want to see alot of garage...
