It's been a mixed blessing so far, with the lift and various things about that could hurt him, I gotta keep a close eye at this age! Track days, I've done about 18 events, 9 in the Miata, been to Thunderhill (east, west and 5 mile), Sonoma and Laguna in it. I'm still slow but I enjoy the...

Did a little more work on the entertainment options. I managed to get a decent wifi signal to the garage, mount my stereo speakers and receiver on the wall, mount an old 720p LCD Tv I had laying around. now I need to remount some of the speakers. Got my tools somewhat organized. Finally...

Unfortunately (or fortunately) it belongs to the previous owner, and he took it with him. IIRC he works for a local dealer network, he had a lot of brand swag on the walls before he moved out.

Doh! I had my stuff in two small garages, and was midway through an engine swap when I moved, basically everything just got dumped in the new garage as it was, including the Miata, which is FULL of junk. Worried that car is never gonna get running again at this rate!

Thanks for all the nice comments, I wish I had seen them sooner! As for the mini split, winter (and insulation) has given me a slight reprieve from needing to get a HVAC solution in. On this recent stretch of nice weather we have been having, I barely need to run my little electric heater in the...

On the "shop" side of the garage, I had the drywall finished, including finishing the ceiling and the top of the pass through wall. I wasn't thrilled with the work they did, but I was glad to have it done. I painted it myself, and I think it came out pretty good. Primered: In Process of...

A few long over due updates. I covered the insulated "parking" portion of the garage with 4'x10' 7/16 OSB panels, had them delivered which was well worth it! They brought them down the alley and the driver was able to get them mostly in the garage, so we just scooted them in and closed the door...

How bout now?

Progress! The insulation is done, except for the garage door. Need to get some quotes for drywall install/finishing and decide what I want to do.

You are probably right, I don't have much experience with insulation, but I have them scheduled to come do it this Thursday and I don't much feel like removing a bunch of drywall before then so I am just going to push forward with my plan while I still have some motivation left in me (we have...

Good Afternoon Y'all. Name is Alex and this is my garage: It's kind of an odd ball size, 17 feet wide by 45 feet long, the product of the previous owner taking a 17 x 23 garage and adding a shop to the back of it. It has a benwil service lift It's got nice tall ceilings in the back...
