Definitely gonna have to go 18v and 3/8" square. I use m12 fuel and air tools.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

Gratuitous Jeep Shot and Pic of my Electricians, E2(Eric) with the conduit bender and Tall Nick(Nick). The Jeep is my brother in-laws, T-bone he's next to it, new pride and joy, it's stupid Awesome. He won it from a raffle for the Chicago Police Memorial Fund. He bought one $100 ticket And was...

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...

Wow what inspiration. You have a beautiful home coming together.

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...

Hi GJ My name is Jack. I do quite a bit of interneting and have been around here a few times. There are some really impressive builds(?) on here. You also have a very supportive and helping community. I like help so that's where I'm at. I at currently a student, so I am kinda broke and move...
