    Redwood stain is really red... The Redwood stain/sealer/protectant is really red. It almost matches the red roof. I bought a 5 gallon drum of it, so I guess I'm keeping the color... 928's are the ultimate touring cars, and they are a bargain for the advanced technology you get. I heard the...

    Thanks Cloud, I am told that the previous owner of my house used home depot cabinets all throughout the garage. I personally think this guy went a little crazy with the cabinets, as I have nine full size, and the thirteen smaller/suspended cabinets covering approximately 50% of my wall space...

    Yes Glen, Thanks for noticing the unusual box. It's some type of industrial lense cleaner. I use it to store my oily rags and latex work gloves. It has a nice clean vintage look to it: http://www.evozine.com/garage/box1.jpg
