I'm really diggin the round eye conversion.

Definitely following this thread! I've always wished we could have Japanese style toilet options over here. Oh & their love of vending machines! I wish we had crazy vending machines here too. Seriously, the ones where you can get stuff like bananas, eggs & live seafood are crazy.

Yeah, no matter how many times you recheck before hitting the post button, chances are you will miss something. Can't even blame it on dyslexia. LOL

I could see how that could get out of hand. I mean if you start talking metric sizes and are asking about a size 24 wench instead of a 24mm wrench, folks could get sideways thinking you're calling pleasantly plump gal wenches. Start talking a bout a 6mm wench & the jealousy & claws comes out...

Another VW guy here from TX. Just found this thread. Very cool! Love all of the projects!

Hey, WTF? Why is everyone spying on my life? LOL I have the same problem. No toilet or shower in mine, so I can't technically live in there. Plus, my wife starts sending me text messages around 2AM asking me where I'm at when she wakes up and realizes I'm in the garage & not in bed. Still...

A drawbridge style garage door would be awesome.

That's what I did for one side of my garage. If I had run all 12 with 20A breakers, I would have needed bigger conduit or multiple runs. It's less of an eye sore crossing the middle of the ceiling with just one run of conduit. I'm pretty happy with it. The 20A circuits are spaced so that they...

Of the three you posted, the last one is the best option IMO of those three. As an added bonus, if you're a coffee drinker, it will keep your coffee hot in a metal cup or metal coffee pot by sitting it right on top. Back in the day, we used to have one similar to this in the workshop on our farm...

Would it be possible to add counterweights in conjunction with the opener? Or perhaps run dual lift motors?

Wow! Just made it all the way through this thread. The house is & will be amazing. Can't way to see further progress.

Heck yeah! I did that too. I also finished my monster toddler gate for the garage. I need to build one more for the other door too. It mounts with Lag screws on the ends that set down into eye bolts on the door frame. This way I can just lift it off & store it away when not in use.

Nicely done! I'm digging that cabinet too. Cool piece!

Today I rearranged the freestanding shelves where I wanted them, Now I can load them up again. Yesterday I added 12 feet to my display shelf along the beam in the center of the garage, so now I have an 18ft shelf for displaying stuff. Then I mostly filled it up.

Man that is really cool looking like it is. Hope you keep that charm with the expansion.
