Thanks man, I appreciate it! If I didn’t have other obligations I’d take you up on that - it’s already getting up into the 90s, I’ll need to break out the air conditioners here soon.

Long time no update - I've had a ton of projects/business opportunities crop up the past couple months, and I've not catalogued much of what I've done, being so busy. Finally got a full brake job knocked out on my sister's Mercedes ML - huge pain in the rear, as the front rotors were...

Finally got all of the re-wiring completed this weekend - the only thing left to do on the garage is patching all of the old holes where the garage door wire was run, and touching up the paint in those areas. Here's what's been completed over the past week: The other 3D printed trim pieces...

Thanks man, it's a great daily driver and the garage is definitely a nice place to work with all of the work I've put into it. I highly recommend a mini split if you can fit it into your structure/situation - much more efficient and effective than portables. The portables are much better...

It seems like the lighting/garage door opener rewiring project will never end. The lights are finally completely finished, but the garage door opener rewiring project took an interesting turn. Saturday, I got everything buttoned up from the remote to the opener, but then Sunday, when I went to...

I never seem to get as much as I want to get done over the weekends these days. I wrapped up all of the conduit for the light install on Saturday, and was planning on installing the additional pieces of conduit necessary to re-run the garage door wiring, but didn't have the time to finish up...

Didn't have a whole lot of time this weekend with the Super Bowl and all (long time Patriots fan here, so it was a good weekend to say the least), but I did work on the wiring for the new lights. I finished planning the routing and ordered all of the necessary cables early last week, got...

Got all 6 lights up, and DANG is it bright now! Didn't get any pics with the vehicles in because I haven't finished up all of the wiring yet, but it's coming along swimmingly. Also knocked out a quick tire rotation on my mom's VW - the QuickJacks make that operation a breeze! Too bad...

I got the pegboard from Amazon if I remember correctly, I believe this is the product I used (red, obviously, but also available in many other colors): https://amzn.to/2FRkAz0 The RaceDeck has been absolutely fantastic! I don't leave my door open (and my garage door faces north anyway) so it...

Been a while since I did anything to the garage, but I've had a lot of projects I've knocked out in it lately. Finally, this weekend, I've started getting around to rectifying the less-than-perfect lighting situation - lots of shadowing, and no lights in the back of the garage so very dark when...

No, that plier rack isn’t from HF, it’s from Ernst...I’ve bought quite a few of them through Amazon. I use them for organizing pliers, saws, and any other long and thin utinsel. I was going to put the shelf on my cart too, but didn’t end up with enough room where I was putting the cart, so...

Got some shop cleanup done this weekend (Saturday...forgot pics, though) and took advantage of the dropping temperatures to detail my daily today. Still have a couple wrap-up items to attend to next weekend (polish windows, interior detail, condition plastics, etc) but it's looking pretty...

Well, I ended up fixing a few of my family's vehicles and one of my own these past couple weeks, so up until this weekend no garage progress was made - but hey, at least I was able to get the automotive work done comfortably and efficiently. The lift definitely made a couple of the jobs I did a...

I have the beige tile in my garage. They’ve always shown tire marks with any type of tire; harder all-seasons, soft R-comp, mud, or motorcycle tries, and everything in between. For me, I expected this going in with it being a lighter color and it’s not offensive to me by any means (and I’m the...

Well, didn't get much of anything done in the garage this weekend because my kitchen lights decided to kick the bucket, and since redoing the lights has been on my project list for quite a while I decided to knock it out in one whack. I didn't take any before pics since the old T12 lamps were...
