    Slatwall Storage Solutions - recomendations?

    I bought all my hooks, shelf brackets and document holders from Storesupply.com. Killer price and quick shipping. Slatboard is in stock at my local Menards for under 40 a sheet. The slatwall always works out great for me...used it before and have it all over my new shop

    Hotrod Gas Pump Replicas

    Something about having one that, "John Smith" pumped gas at in the 40's appeals to me more if I'm gonna shell out some cash for some neat shop decor.

    This one has lost some character also but a lot of the charm is buried behind the newer drywall and drop ceilings, etc. It could be brought back, but some of the modern convenience associated with the updates outweighs the charm at this point....maybe someday. Purchase price was under $85k

    figured it was time for some updating.... First I uncovered the "door to nowhere" that had been hidden away for 20+ years. This is the hose tower, about 35 feet tall, ladder all the way to the top, they used to hang the hoses up there to dry. Water dripped through the floor into a drain in...

    Updates: bedroom/ loft after tearing down partitions and false ceiling. I can't believe how much bigger this looks inside, mainly because of the higher ceiling now... Laundry Utility is coming along, new water heater...platform for washer and dryer. Upstairs bathroom is torn apart...
