    The Ultimate Mancave!

    Thanks again guys. I went to a local sign shop with the measurements for the areas I wanted to cover with flames and we looked through hundreds of flame styles. Once we found the one I liked he used his cad/graphics program to make them all fit into the designated areas. He had to do a lot of...

    Not only did she not need the air compressor she did not need all the other **** of mine that was jammed into "her" garage, go figure. She also loves being able to open the garage door when she gets home and park inside, as opposed to everyday playing spin the wheel to see what jalopy of a...

    The corrugated on the inside of the garage door is thinner than normal corrugated and does not weigh that much. I did not have to adjust anything when i installed it. The garage door opener seems to not be affected by the extra weight. The corrugated pieces are held in place with sheet metal...
