No, that's not the issue. I've talked to them and they are going to machine me a new piece. Apparently they changed the hinges between 04-06? They have been very quick and helpful thus far.

Here is my issue with it, see the gap on the top hinge, left side? I don't know why they notched out the bottom right but not the bottom left arm. The (now very modest) toys:

I don't think so? I have 9ft ceilings and they are right about the height they would be on the jeep give or take. Thanks for the observation. I didn't really consider that to be a problem when constructing it. Definitely don't need any of that...

The door hanger is a "Masterhang" product, however I may have an issue with it.

I have been doing this the past few days. I need to try and acid wash the brick again, and paint. Trying to have it all done so I can start tiling!

Round one of muriatic acid on the bad parts complete, I'm going to try and scrape the rest of that stuff off and go at it again. It doesn't seem to getting as clean as I would have thought. Pretty sure it was concrete that was splashed on.

This what it looks like on the other side. The gutter lets out at the corner and I recently had concrete edging installed. Water does pool up with a heavy rain...

I just worry about it looking weird running the brick into the cabinet. I want the cabinet to blend in as much as possible. I would like to not have it, but its hiding a fugly heat pump and water heater.

Take a look at this picture of moisture I'm getting. Will it be an issue, and is there anything I can do about it? Strange thing is we haven't really gotten any rain recently... I'm planning on doing tile most likely, and painting the brick if I can't get it clean. I scraped it with a multitool...

Yeah man, I asked the guy in the paint dept. and he said they didn't carry it for a while and I couldn't find it otherwise. Where is it usually?

Where is the best place to get the muriatic acid? I went to HD and couldn't find it there. The guy there said pool supply places?

Thanks guys, hope it works since you almost sold me on cleaning it up and keeping the brick. I'll let you know how it goes!

The brick is this bad in some places. This will come off with muriatic and some scrubbing?

You guys have me curious now. They have been disgusting since I've lived here. A lot of what's on them is mortar that the builder carelessly splattered on them. I imagine I will have to chip that off. Thanks again

Would it be safe to powerwash right next to all the sheetrock? Also, thanks for all the replies guys. I love this forum. Please keep it coming!
