Well thanks very much for that info.....what a frustration that is :mad: Lets hope they don't do that with the Craftsman....also wonder if the quality will be the same, or like the "Snap on " junk they are trying to sell ? :lol_hitti

Sounds like a good thing, given the uncertain future of Sears stores. Hopefully Costco will stock their tools better than most of their other goods...it gets a little tiring playing the "here today gone tomorrow" thing at Costco.. It leaves me wondering how a warranty excahnge would work...

It actually surprises me too:headscrat A Robertson is commonly referred to as a "square drive" and was invented by a fellow named P L Robertson....Henry Ford was his first big customer....over 700 of these fasteners used in his first production cars.....:)

Exactly, building codes etc, in your area will tend to dictate the outcome in terms of final cost....what are the dimensions of your planned garage? Make sure you consider the cost of moving/adding to your utilities if you require, this adds up really fast depending on your area....for me to...

FINALLY, we were close.... We called up a sheet metal shop and had some lengths of .065 aluminum cut and bent to top off the retaining wall cap. We brought it home and cut/trimmed it to fit and installed with silicone adhesive and 3/16 pop rivets. Then mounted up some signs we had in the old...

Flooring was the last big job standing in front of completion. We chose a polyaspartic coating system with a full broadcast of chips for color. The floor was diamond ground, hairline cracks ground out and filled, then the 5 coat system was applied. We had a crew come in to lay this down as...

Next task was to trim out the retaining wall, windows, door etc....AND decide the color. We kicked this around for a long time, Mopar colors...all time classic colors, and it was a tough decision.....BUT Since my Dad had a 53 Olds that was turquoise and white, when I was a kid, that's what we...

Well, back again with some pics of the walls/ceiling painted out in semi gloss white. We started with a healthy coat of "high hide" latex primer and followed with the semi gloss white

Beautiful job on the fridge....amazing transformation.....:thumbup: Guys.....I've got a 50's turquoise and white theme going on in the shop....but was thinking that if I did the fridge the same it might blend in too well?? :headscrat

That's got better paint than my truck!! I'm a big HD fan...you gotts run some pipes off each side!! :drool:

I think so.....I slammed my head in the door trying to find out....I think it went out...but the paramedics said that it was due to the fact that I blacked out......:lol_hitti

Thanks guys for the comments....I'm glad to see that most people get the idea of a cool ol' beer fridge...that's what it's supposed to be!!!! What's this food stuff anyway? Thanks for the tips as well...what makes it even cooler for me is that it looks like my Granparents fridge that they had...

Wow....lucked out yesterday when my neighbour gave me this fridge for my new garage....it was the original fridge in the house he still lives in and has been in storage with some usage for the last 25 years....I figure it's 50's era, but not exactly sure....anyone know??? Anyway it works...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Started installing my new Rotary two post lift!! First time I've done it so taking my time...seems pretty straight forward. :bounce:

Regardless of what happens, good for you! Not too many people would even care enough to ask...nice to see that there are still good people out there..:bowdown:
