I started on the garage again in earnest now that I own it and made some good progress.

So, I bought the house! Closed at the end of July and now it's mine all mine, so the real garage rehab can begin in earnest this weekend. Should be good!

More tool finds to fill up the boxes:

My daughter wanted to make a video, so she filmed me accessorizing the Danger Box:

Here's the regular-speed video of the aftermath of the timelapse: All-in-all it went well and we got a lot accomplished. Danger box is finished and probably 80-90% of my tools are now stored in the boxes and the workbench is pretty well cleared off. It's starting to look like a real, usable...

Back by popular demand, timelapse! We finished building Danger Box the HF tool cart, got some oil and filters in the mail, and then got serious about putting tools away. Got a lot done!!

Any ideas?

I had the inspection today, no surprises just the stuff I already knew about living here since October. I did an update video and really showed the outside area where the shed is and where I can build a shop. I'd really appreciate any feedback from anyone who has built a shop or had a shop...

I got the shed cleaned out and started storing big things in it from the garage to help make room, so not so much work on the garage itself, but it's definitely related! Video here:

I guess I should throw in more details! I moved to this city in 2006 when I bought my first house here. Got married, had kids, bought a bigger house 3 blocks away in 2016. Got divorced last year, ex-wife took over the 16 house, and I moved into the rental because it's 2 blocks away (making...

So the house I am renting is going up on the market now, and I need to decide whether to buy it, rent somewhere else, or buy somewhere else. It is a double lot and there's room for a separate garage still. Thoughts?

Well not a lot happened to the garage during all of the snowstorms, but I did manage to almost finish building my HF tool cart, which through a series of hilarious events became dubbed the "DANGER BOX". As anyone who has assembled one of them knows, there comes a part where you have to drop the...

I've been chipping away at the garage project little by little. Mostly just trying to keep up momentum and not take steps back.

I'm preparing the garage for the incoming Snowmageddon!!!
