oh, awesome! i definitely will

i just picked up a new tool for my workshop! ..i'm getting too antsy to get this garage finished so i can start building stuff again! :D :D :D

i got the 1.5" EPS insulation into the walls, the area above the back wall (shown in photo) is 12" deep, it will get unfaced R-38 fiberglass batts up there. then i'll be putting R-19 batts in the ceiling. next up: im thinking about the best way to repair a lowspot in the concrete and figure out...

thanks! its our patio, i'm not planning to make any changes to it right now

my buddy had a scrap of tyvek, so we put that up on the north and south ends of the ceiling (i'm sure that spot has a name, i just dont know it). he had the perfect amount, which is awesome, because that stuff isnt cheap! also, we got the north wall framed in (24" centers, since its not load...

the ceiling is finished up! we made a loft area above the garage door. this space will be used for storage. this will be closed off with walls on the sides, and a door in the center. this will keep the space a little bit more dust free from metal fabrication happening below. the loft's floor is...

yeah, i have the Liftmaster 8500, we'll be installing it after the drywall is up :D i'll have to look into the insulation further, i dont know much about the different types

i thought it would need a ridge beam also.. but the engineer and contractor both said that this way will work fine, so its the route we took

sorry for the lack of updates! too many different projects, and not enough time i got some help from a friend who does this type of stuff as a living. which is nice, considering i don't really know too much about this type of stuff. so we're going to do some tradework, i'm going to build him...

this works for me

heres the progress i got done today, not a ton of progress, but the days are short.. and i'm hung over. shelves and cabinets removed, as well as a few of the sheets of OSB above the rafters. i'm quickly realizing that i'll need a dumpster here there was some gnarly mold underneath the...

hey guys, i'm new to the forum but i've been reading on here for a few years. i just bought my first house and i'm starting to build out the garage into a metal fabrication shop. i wanted to document the process and have a place i could ask for advice. While i've rented plenty of spaces as...

so i ended up going with a 60's snap-on box, i dropped it off at the new shop today, and we looked up the serial numbers. the top is a KLR59A, but i might not remember exactly, we figured out its a '63-64 top box. the bottom doesnt seem to be a snap on box... the serial numbers are on the...

thanks for the advice guys, im going to keep looking, i want something that i'll want to keep a long time, an old craftsman or snap on would be awesome. the SO box is at a pawn shop, so im sure they wont budge too much on the price... i called the guy with the kennedy, he said someone was...

hey everyone, i'm not sure if i've ever posted, but i like checking this forum out every once and a while. i've been building motorcycles out of my little downtown garage for a few years, and i've always kept my tools on pegboard. but i got a job offer from a local hot-rod shop today, and...
