I must be in the minority as I love Smithfields. The bbq is just right and the same all the time. I like the stringy texture. You don't get that from a lot of smaller places that are just starting off with their grandpas recipe. Only thing though, is that the Smithfields tea at the one in...

The more I think about it the more I am defiantly gonna make it separate. My wife just loads junk into the garage already. Last thing I need is to junk up what I'm working on. I plan to have a car in there that I'm working on and the other half will be general area where I do projects.

You and I are kinda on the same page. I already have a garden house/pool shed at the back of the yard in front of the pool. I want to build either the garage or the "pool house". The garage will be simpler so I'm starting with that and the pool house would be far down the road. I essentially...

I've got the room to do it. The way my neighbors house sits I wouldn't want to do that as it would be disrespectful to build something right next them like that which is still their front yard. I want to stay behind the tree line if possible or maybe add on a single large bay offset from the...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I never really thought about adding on to what I have cause it looks so huge already but that isn't a bad suggestion as I think about it. There is a room upstairs from the garage with a side window but I may be able to avoid that. The goal is to make sure I have...

Looking into some ideas to see if I haven't thought of something. I'm looking into building a 24x26 or so garage with a sing offset double door. I just do not see a natural place for it on my lot. Mainly how it would face and such so that it blends in better as I am one that cares about...

Having a seperate shed for outdoor tools is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I have them on the complete opposite sides of my yard really. The shed is in a back right corner and hold all of my outdoor stuff and housed the pool pump, filter, and various pool chemicals and toys. The...

Thanks guys. My house is situated in a semi country setting with little to no trafic as I am on a culdesac. I may get one car every two or three days doing turn around. Also my house is situated at an angle that the tool box wouldn't be visible on the right side where I am thinking of. At...

I just finished moving into my new house and want to plan out the garage and get it set up before it becomes a dumping place like at my other house. I have a 24x20 (Yes! I can park my Ram in this garage unlike my last) single door garage. I have brick steps on the right side leading up into the...

We're not building an engine here.

For my OCD types out there. We know most people are **** about the care and storage of their tools but what is something that you are **** about. I know I'm **** about making sure that the screws in the outlet and light switch plates are always horizontal (or vertical) but I stick with horizontal.

I have a MakerBot Replicator version 2. I still need to learn and get better on my CAD skills but here are just a few things I have made with it: Wire clips and fuel line clips for my neighbors hotrod. Multi piece trilobite for a science lesson. Tic Tac Toe game with case for my daughter. My...

You sound like the owner. LOL. The pawn shop that is on the same side of the road diagnol from the one you are referring to, the old National Pawn building used to be a car dealership believe it or not. A loooooong time ago.

Everyone that's lived in Fayetteville, NC knows this one. It has been fenced in with chain link fence for as far as I can remember. Apparently the back of the structure built of wood was damaged in a fire in 2009 so maybe someone uses it for something. there is also a car repair shop that is...

Another favorite that everyone in the city wanted. It is the area of downtown Durham that is the most revitalized next to the Brightleaf area where the Durham Bulls play. Also owned by the same family that owned the other one I posted. I don't know if it sold or was leased but it turned into a...
