It's a pig pen and looks bad, the capert on the dash board evokes class. But there is way worse....in the early 90's I worked at Best Buy installing stereos and had thousands of cars come through the shop. 2nd busiest store in the country, at the time. Most memorable - running power wire...

Wow - those were pricey.

Yes, 54 Chevy sedan. We'd head to the floorboards of that or the bathtub.

Yes, think and think and chill. I finally hung up my Dogfish Beer sign tonight. TT455, that is one sweet ride to go stare at. :)

How is that handled?

What do ya'll think about cedar board lining/planks for a laundry room attached to a garage? I'd like to use reclaimed wood but at $3/foot that gets real pricey. Rest of the garage is bright white drywalled.

I'll always the 2x4 shooting into my shop teachers belly from the table saw. He was ok but winded.

^fishtailing :D

I need a good quality old school pencil sharpener. An analog one.

Thanks guys - the one pro I called preferred not to reuse old insulation due to drywall debris, rodent dust, etc. I did keep the bags dry and they are taking up half the garage. Still on the fence, don't want to mess with a rental blower and getting someone to help.

Recently drywalled a 2 car garage and we pulled down the 50 year old ceiling. All of the blown-in insulation came down with it, and it was carefully placed in large trash bags. It's white and fluffy and was put up there in 1997. I can either carry the bags into the garage attic and attempt...

Amazing place, thanks for sharing pics and so many details. Subscribing in case I move out out Austin central and can purchase land and a metal garage. :)

Amazing garage! I'm curious, was the previous owner some sort of electrical engineer? It appears both of you have invested plenty of effort in having a nice workshop. But I think him beat. :)

I just replaced a 20 year old Makita with a new Dewalt, the power is beyond amazing. And that little LED option will come in handy. The Dewalt and Milwaukee were both $100 on black friday clearance at Lowes, I decided on the Dewalt because of the light. Otherwise, all specs seemed equal.
