Changed oil in the wifes GTI, my Cruze, the Suburban, fixed the old recliner, then cleaned up a bit. It's stinkin hot again today.

Yea, I understand Reflectix isn't exactly insulation, but it's what the building has right now. My plan is to eventually fully insulate the building, I need something to get the heat out of the second floor until then.

48X32 pole building, reflectix insulation on walls and ceiling. The second floor gets REAL warm in the summer. I need suggestions on best way to remove excess heat upstairs. Building has soffit vents and a ridge vent. I thought of a gable end vent fan set up on the back of the building, but...

Spent the afternoon troubleshooting an intermittent p0171 code in my daughters 98 Lumina. Found a split vacuum line. The 18 degree temp in the barn made it miserable. I really need to get the barn insulated.

Finally got some time in the shop, and was productive out of necessity. Changed oil, trans fluid & fuel filter in the wife's Silverado. Changed oil, water pump, thermostats, serpentine belts, idler pulleys & tensioners on the Suburban.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Yesterday I unpacked from vacation, got caught up on yard work, hung out with the neighbors. :beer: Today I cleaned out the Suburban after vacation, 6 people and 5000 miles can really mess up a truck. Since it rained off and on, I cleaned out the...

This is mine, not the best photo, but it's the best I have now. Not much has changed since building it. But, it's where I go to get away.

I've done 337's for them with 10 'owners'. Everyone pays for the privilege of having a private jet 'on call'.;)

I'm trying to get stuff together to make some progress when time permits, 10 hr days 6 days a week leave me not much time. :sad: Anyway, what do you guys use as mount blocks for exterior lights? I know vinyl siding has them. I was considering using those, but I'm open to suggestions. So far...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Hung a garage door opener today.

The main tenant of the barn The wife's daily driver and weekend workhorse My sanity rejuvinator And our vacation wagon and my other driver As of now the cannon and the motorcycle are the only thing that have permanent residence. Not too much has changed inside. I've been fighting...

That's cool! I agree, much more age appropriate, my kids love to look at the cannon, but don't want to do too much with it. My son complains it's too loud. (We have set off car alarms). I see a science project for my kids. Do you mind if I take your idea?

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm really glad it's up. MSRTom - I had someone build it, it would've taken me waaaaaayyyyyy to long to do. It will eventually be fully insulated, and have something other than drywall up for the walls, haven't made up my mind exactly what yet. I don't...

A little story about how I got to this point in life. I met a great girl, her dad had a very unusual hobby. I married that great girl, and obviously took a shining to the hobby my new father in law had. Things were great. That hobby took us all over the Delmarva area, meeting some...
