House Garage: The beginning The house garage is a simple 24x22 affair that was essentially a bare slate when we bought the house in 2009. I do not intend for this to be the "working" garage long-term, but I wanted it to be nice and organized until I get the workshop built and set-up. Plus, I...

No typo, and it's not a hatchback, but it does have a few upgrades. And a closer peak under the hood: JDM 4AGE 20v with matching trans and host of suspension/brake upgrades. :3gears: It's fun.

Barn Organizing: Well, since the barn is for storage, and I have to make it hold ALL my junk until the workshop is built I have to cram things into every nook and cranny available. I've gotten a LOT of inspiration from looking at various projects on GJ and I have been trying to use some of...

Last info I had was a phone and address of: AERS Construction (260) 768-8145 1300 W 450 S, Lagrange, IN, 46761 They are Amish, so actually getting them on the phone is a bit tricky, usually leave a message and they'll get back to you. They do show up when they say they will, do a great job...

Barn Electrical: I needed power in my barn, but since the intention for this space is for "cold" storage, I don't need too much, and I don't need 220v, so it could be simple. The trick was to get it from the house out there. My house is relatively new (2006) so the electrical is pretty good...

Well, I have to take some new ones. The car hasn't been driven in almost 7 years now and the old pics either don't have the flares, or the euro-lights, so their not real "accurate". I am committed to getting it back on the road this year, so hopefully I'll get some more soon. I do have some...

This was a one-off build out of scrap material. Maybe I'm missing out on a business opportunity? :dunno: Thanks,

I thought I'd post a few pics of the next steps in my organizational plan: Car Stacking: This isn't a new concept, but for a home-build type situation it's a bit unique. Before I moved from my old house, I built a simple frame out of some 6" angle iron that I bought and welded together. It...

Awesome! :bowdown: Your pics are great for detail and help me tremendously in planning my own workshop foundation design. Can't wait to see the framing up!

Yep, that's mine. I don't think I've done more than move the car around in storage for the last four years though. Started on a dry-sump conversion and ran into issues. Then we had two kids which derailed most of my car projects so as soon as I get my own garage projects done I can hopefully...

Nice work! Chopping into that wall must have been a real leap-of-faith moment. I actually clicked on this thread because you mention being in Michigan and then because of your screen name. I'm also in SW Michigan (about 1.5 hours south of you though), and have a 912, two Beetles, and recently...

Continuing on with the barn "elevator" project. With the design figured out in CAD, I set about making the parts. As part of my job I have responsibility over two 4000W lasers, and can program and run either one along with doing the design, the CAD, and nesting. Talk about letting the fox...

Thanks for the kind words! From what I understand it's all dependent on the particular church bishop for that area. Some will allow bicycles, some won't. Some can have air in their tires, others have to fill them with foam! Either way, these guys did a helluva job and I would recommend them...

Organizing the Pole Barn Organizational Plan Initially, when my wife and I were planning what we were going to build on our land to store all of our (mostly my) stuff, we looked at doing one large building. In our area there are large amounts of the "gothic" dairy barns and while many have...

Intro: After lurking for quite awhile, and only posting an intro, I've decided to finally start a thread detailing my barn/garage progress, and my various little related projects. I'm a gearhead through and through, and as a result I've accumulated numerous car projects. The primary problem I...
