Yours is the first build I found... led me to the wonderful world GJ. :) Love to see your updates, too. I've had skilled mortar guys apply "cut brick" on block walls; it looks like real brick for a lot less. They cover the whole wall with mortar (or parts if you only want some), let it dry...

Read just a part of your first post and thot... "Wow! What a totally Great idea!" Here's what "popped out" to me: Thought an underground shop would be really cool... but you'd need a nicely positioned hill to bury the "rest of the shop" and it'd be pretty expensive, so I re-read it, then...

Been a member of Woot a long time. The stuff I usually order from them is electronics, sports, and sellout, but I always try to price compare... sometimes they are not a deal. Got a few nice toolbags when they started their "Tool & Garden" page... I'm hoping that one produces some great deals...

I realize a lot of guys here don't need another shed, but in case someone has been looking for a deal (or needs a low cost solution to a small problem), try looking over Woot.com's sale on Arrow sheds. Look quickly, the sale ends April 16th, or sooner if that item sells out. The best deal here...

Thanks... I've been reading a few hours a night for several weeks, but haven't checked out much more than the Garage Gallery yet. There are so many great ones (with incredible ideas) that I've just kept reading thru them every chance I get. :) A few of my favorites so far (in no particular...

Hi :bounce::bounce: So... obviously, I'm new to the forum (have been posting around a bit tho), but not to construction. Dad was an enlisted metalworker in the USAF for 23+ years, so we'd buy old houses, live in them, remodel them (very nicely) from top to bottom, and then... when we'd get all...

Fair :) I'm only a few miles away. Just tried to send you a PM with more info... never tried that before, so let me know if it worked. :lol:

Enjoyed reading about your "Pedestrian" garage (every page... a little bit every night after my rugrats went to bed for a few days in a row). ;) Must say it's VERY Well done :thumbup::thumbup: Am looking forward to seeing how you progress (& of course, I subscribed). FWIW, I try to recycle...

Ah... the garage?? ;) J/K of course :lol: Incredibly awesome house tho... have a number of Islander friends from college (they're living throughout: Bahamas down to Trinidad) and am now living in s Florida myself... so I'm completely jealous! :drool: Glad you were able to build this...

This is excellent!! :thumbup::thumbup: Have a great place to use something like this... and it should make my storage area MUCH more safe too! (Have been climbing up and down ladders with very heavy things balanced in 1 or 2 hands for years :eek: Wife is always pushing "safety" things.) ;)...

I've been reading GJ for all of 1½ weeks, but didn't join up... just read things, made notes for myself and kept looking around. Originally found utah997's Bunker Garage, and was impressed, then Hottrod's island home (drooled over that one... live near Ft. Lauderdale), IGO2XS's awesome Monster...

Hi from a fellow (SW) Broward resident... Very nice plans, a bit jealous actually. ;) Ah... :Gun1:Permitting...:shoot5: the bane of much of s.FL. :o Since it looks like a golf course, you may want to find a nice high corner of the lot (or a neighbor's) that you can take a pic from... that...
