How about some car p*rn to make up for it? To be clear - NOT MY CAR!!!

Thanks. I was rebuilding my house... so lost focus on updates here. My bad!

Starting to fill up with “stuff”: Looking into shop area: Mill and Lathe in place: Wiring the mill to a VSD:

Dang, it’s been five years. After building the garage, I moved on to my home – which sucked up more time than I wish to remember. That said, thought I would update this with some more recent pictures, including new toys, etc. This is a good start, will update more as I have time. Excuse the...

So I have a good friend (and neighbor) that had a long haul trucking operation in the family for over 40 years. His father ran it before he did - he took it over when his father passed. Great guy, can't say enough nice things about him, has taught me quite a bit. When he sold the business, he...

Some more progress. Last few weeks were spent fabricating shelving as mentioned... it took some time. We have just under 90 linear feet of shelving now... which should help me to stay organized! The last bit of shelving being fabbed: My buddy's welds - it became a competition to see who...

Thanks for writing this up... has me looking for new extinguishers right now...

Thanks JJ. Yeah, I've been going over budget on lots of other stuff (by choice) - and I never see the back of the garage... so I didn't mind cutting cost there.

Sorry for being incommunicado for a while, been trying to get this thing wrapped up - and I'm almost there. Finally got the electric finaled and power transferred to the new meter can on the garage (with a split underground service to the house). This was a big deal, because now I can weld...

Done... you have PM sir.

Thanks. 320A can runs both the garage and the house. Have two 200A discos. The stucco was as quoted by the foot, and that price was right... but that needs to include open spaces. So I had done the math excluding the garage door, windows, etc. But because they have to pin the corners, and...

So it's been a while since the last post, mainly because I have been going straight home and working until 10pm every night. That being said, it's getting CLOSE! Soffit installed: Main panel wired: Main Disco wired: Black steel pipe for air lines in: Dug electric service line for...

Thanks guys - again, I've been picking up the majority of my ideas from here. Consider it a reflection of the collective knowledge base!

Can you explain this and / or provide a link? Funny you say that, this is my first project of this magnitude and did not know this was an issue. However we're blowing out the attached garage next, and making it a master bed/bath... and I plan to cover the new slab there because I want to do...

Jimmie: Fair point. I will give that some thought. Quote was low on the stucco - It's gonna be a bit more... he didn't realize it was 12' tall and had six windows. Whoops. So I got the floor sealed last night. Used the Legacy 6600HD with the fine non skid. I was VERY impressed with how it...
