    SHOW OFF YOUR cordless impact wrenches

    And the Matco ones are not the same as Milwaukee. I think Ferrari must make Lamborghini's because they look alike.

    SHOW OFF YOUR cordless impact wrenches

    I got the Milwaukee m12 drill/1/4" impact combo three years ago and it hasn't missed a beat. Absolutely love them. Recently stepped up tho the 3/8" fuel for work. This thing is a torque montser, tested it to over 120 ft/ lbs with my torque wrench. So light and awesome. Also grabbed new...

    Garage Re-Organization....My Turn

    I love the extra nooks for equipment and shop space. That is something that most garages in Chicago definitely don't have. They have room for one or two cars and a lawnmower. Also like the commercial solvent washer.

    110' x 26' Forclosure

    Love the size of the building and the amount of hard work you are giving it. Seen too many buildings just like this knocked down for lack of creativity. I can't wait to have a reason for something this size.

    Workshop 88

    Ha. That Echo thinks it's a truck. My Maxima often has similar aspirations. Love riding the free stuff train. It's a little hard in Chicago without dumpster diving because scrappers are up and down the alley's about every 20 minutes. It's amazing that they can afford pickup trucks and I can't.

    The hand-me-down garage

    I like the placement of the cabinets on the ceiling there. Really I like the whole garage. I was thinking of a similar paint scheme with different colors. That stinks about the floor problems. It looks great in the pics but I know you can see all the imperfection and how that feels. I didn't...

    26x30 addition to replica "gas station"

    I love you execution here. I like how the Artists on GJ seem to have the best concepts. This one actually seems attainable, well besides that fancy siding. I also enjoyed your art, very cool. I usually am drawn to art with simpler pallets like water colors and pencil stuff. I just got my...

    Mama's Sweet City Garage

    Okay so at this point I knew the floors were going to look pretty ******. On half was a 15 year old beige epoxy paint that was mostly worn and stained. The other half was freshly painted with a 2 year old can of grey Behr garage floor that had been outside. So I didn’t have high hopes, but it...

    Mama's Sweet City Garage

    Wiring and Electrical This is the one part of the garage that I think makes it or breaks it. I think as long as you have lights and power you have a good workshop. In the before time I had two outlets, one next to the service door and one on the ceiling for the garage door opening. I intend to...

    Mama's Sweet City Garage

    Thanks for the positive remarks. The van was a POS, my friends lovingly referred to it as the rock n roll **** van. That picture was probably a little over a year old. The story behind this garage is that it is my Mother’s garage and I am currently between Chicago and Peoria for school and...
