That's what I said after we had a crew pour the 14X35 foot slab next to the house for our 5th wheel camper... There is no way I could have done it by myself.

TimeWarp - What do you use to strip paint off the vehicles?

When we bought our house from my wife's grandparents 11 years, a LOT of things stayed with the house (JD 111 Riding mower, Hawk scroll saw, Lots of pack-rat junk:rant:, etc..) and one of the things was a nice 3-1/2 ton NAPA FJ. Through the years of me using it, the hydraulics have stopped...

Looks Great! You did a heck of a job on the art work! All my wall have something hanging off them (Shelves, Cabinets etc) or I'd do some artwork like yours and many others here! Again great transformation!

Hey CG, Did you get to make it down to our All Truck Nations last weekend? You're club had a great showing of trucks!

Here is my shop foreman and union stewart, Matoska and Kolaluta. They're the Brothers Chow. Matoska (Lakota for "White Bear") and Kolaluta (Lakota for "Red Friend") will be 2 years old January 2nd and are from the same litter. They go nuts when they hear the dually fire up, because they think...

Just thought I'd share where I go to look for things when I'm doing projects in the shops. We've got a Habitat For Humanity store that is 20 minutes from the house. It's called "Restore" and you can pick up new and used items like cabinets, doors, windows etc. for REALLY cheap prices. It's all...

Darren - What part of KC? We're in Raytown (or Rat Town as I call it from time to time) Looks like you got a great starter project there. Welcome to the forum, these guys are a fountain of information. Jerrald

so is everything moving forward or are you going to shorten the garage? I love it when the guys in the office say one thing and the field inspectors say another. I too like the artist rendering.. Looks like when I play in photoshop!!!

oh yeah... The wife has her own garage that her car sits in as well as houses her glass studio. She has never attempted to venture into my side!!

Well guys, I got more cleaning done today. The clutter is getting under control. I'm going to build a "loft" of sorts over the main door to store things like my workmate and folding saw horses. to answer some of mpire's bullet points, Painting the floor never was my cup of tea. I'd be afraid of...

I ran our NG line from the basement up into the garage to supply our ventless heater one weekend. I cut and threaded all the pipe myself, used pipe "dope" on all the joints and then soap tested everything for 2 days before turning on the heater. It's been up and running now for 3 years. All it...

I installed a 5000 btu widow air unit in the shop last month to help with the 90+ degree afternoon heat. I didn't care to much that it either had to run all the time or I had to go out of a morning and turn it on to start the cooling process. After some web searching I came across this...
