I don't have Instagram, but it's nice to know his life is going well.

I love your garage! As a teen, I found a DT500 in need of a little care and got it running. I put a huge plastic Baja tank on it and that thing taught me how to be scared of a motorcycle many times out on the deer trails of south Texas. Even though it was old, it had more power than a 15 year...

I came across this again just a little while ago and forgot how much I loved it! He did something I wish I could have done.

I'm kind of partial to blue! I was going to do all my other boxes too, but since everyday for the last month has been over 100 degrees, I'll wait.

I don't hang out much here either, life gets in the way all the time. Sounds like even with issues popping up you are still moving forward. All I can say is keep plugging away and never let it get you down Also, "GF got pregnant (how does that even happen?)" Scientists are pretty sure they have...

I read this whole thread twice over the last couple of years. I pray that Luca and his family are okay. I spent a lot of time in mostly southern Italy when I was in the Navy and it remains my favorite place from that time.

Beautiful pictures! I haven't been to Italy in two decades, but I still go there in my thoughts so often.

Has anyone heard from Luca? I loved his story and seeing Italy in his posts brought back so many memories!

I've avoided this site because it hurts not having a garage anymore. LOL, but a sad one. It's been 4 years since we sold our house in a small north hill country town and moved into an apartment in Austin for my wife's job. We planned on maybe a year or so and then we'd get a house. Talk about...

I really love your style! Beautiful work space. Also, I love the Volvo. I haven't driven one like that since I was a teenager. I bought it as a project and then found out it was a lot more project than a kid could handle. Traded it for a sailboat.

Re: 22 x 24 Garage - future little speed shop The same sort of rules apply in this area, however there are a couple of workarounds. There are no rules against "temporary" buildings, i.e. sheds built on skids. A lot of people buy or make a couple of these, some rather large, and use them to...

I love what you are doing. It looks like you have a good start! I also have a love Ford trucks along with Volvo cars. Both of are tough and run forever with just a little care.

Love what you are doing and envy you your garage! I am currently a grad student after many years and work security at the state capital here in Texas as well. My wife just got her doctorate a couple of years ago and started teaching again, so we are treading water in the student loan ocean. Good...

You might be able to put in a small porthole style window like the type that comes in a camper. Don't know if they are double paned or not, but they should be light.

Does your area allow loft spaces? In some places, people live and work in the same area. I'm thinking artists and such. Maybe you could call it that?
