I bought this tool at an auction, it was in a box of stuff that contained valve job tools, gear pullers, piston ring tools, and other stuff. I don't what this thing is.

Check out my build site. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40427 Garage is 26' x 64', with shop area having 12'6" ceiling height. I still have a lot of pictures to post. One of these days i'll get to it.

The roof installation.

Here is the layout process. I wish I had some photos of us standing the largest wall on the left upright. Being 2x6x12, 26' long with 4 windows (extra 2x6's), it was way too heavy for us to lift. We screwed another board across the studs as a lift point. Then we stood it upright with the skid...

Here is a shot from the back to show the stepped off foundation to accomadate the sloping lawn. Floor is sloped with two floor drains. Vapor barrier is below the concrete. I dont have vapor barrier in the old half of the garage and its annoying in the spring. 3500psi mix. I have 6 inch curb all...

Here are the shots of the shed all completed. I just wanted to get these pictures out of the way first. The Garage Build Photos to follow in a bit. Sure is weird how you can never have enough space. Since my completion of the shed, I have practically filled it up with toys. I had to make a...

Some shots of the shed going up.

The 3 bay will grow to 5 bays. Total size will be 26x64. The shed project is 22x24. Between the two of them, I am right at the max size my local codes allow.

So, what started as a shed project turned into a "well, while I'm pouring concrete, I might as well pour some for a garage addition as well" type of situation. Here are pictures of the Garage pre-modification, and some shots during the concrete phase. I contacted my local building codes, found...

Here is a picture of the shed gone. Once the sheeting was off the sides and some off the roof, the 4 wheeler made short work of pulling it down. A chain saw worked well for the rest. Then I had a pre-construction bonfire. Does anyone know how to post pictures so they show up in the thread...

Ha, that must have been caused by a metiorite. I didn't really realize the roof was like that until I actually took a good look at it. I never really spent a lot of time in that shed......due to its gravel floor.

I looked at the different links to post pictures listed in this thread. Is there a way to post smaller pictures in my thread. I can attach pictures, but I would like them to show up and be visible to people who are not a memeber of the site. All of mine are just attachments that are only...

I am still trying to figure out how the picture and posting works. I have more picts to follow. During my evaluation of the shed I found many things that told me that it was time for something new. Here is some more pictures of the shed during tear down. My buddy Chris helped kick the sheeting...

I have been hanging around this inspirational site for some time now. About three years ago I knew I had to do something about my deteriorating shed. I had initially intended on jacking the shed up off the ground to pour a slab. I would have to say thats about where this site had popped up on my...

Tomorrow I am going to put up the siding on my 22x24x10 shed. It has a 4/12 pitch. Before I do that, I need to build the corner "bird boxes", "returns", or whatever they are called. Gable overhang is 12 inches, eaves are 24 inches. Anyone got a quick, easy yet sturdy way to make them. I want to...
