Today we moved more stuff around in the big shop to get my jeep in. I have to do brakes, oil change, and change the oil pressure sending unit. We realized I got the wrong brake kit. There are 2 types of front calipers on a Wj, well I ordered the wrong one[emoji13] so we sent those back. Then...

Well, it's been raining and then we had fun stuff to do this weekend. We put shelving up in the storage area and moved a lot of things in from the big garage. Then this weekend was fun time. On Saturday we went to crawl for the cure in Gilbert mn to get ideas for our buggies, and to hang out...

Well, it's been hot and raining the last few days, but it finally was nice enough to get some sheeting up. We are about half way done and hopefully will have more updates in the next few days depending on weather.

These are the only pictures I can find right now, I will try and get more pictures tomorrow. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

The machine shop currently has a 60 amp breaker in the house from our 200 amp service, but it uses a fuse panel and the wire that is ran to it can only handle 60 amps. The power that runs to the machine shop also powers the small garage. The cold storage building also has power ran to it but it...

Today we started on the sheeting. It was slow going because the studs are not 16" on center. Plus everything had to be cut down because each section is less than 4' tall.

After reading through this thread, it makes me think that a full rise scissor lift is what I need in my garage. I like that, when mounted in the floor, it takes up no space compared to a 2 post lift. :rocker: The only question I have is how easy is it to put a truck or jeep on it with the...

I also got pictures of the other garages that are full. This is the cold storage shed. It's filled mostly with jeep and Chevy parts, with some snow removal stuff. The machine shop has the mill and lathe, plus all of our RC stuff. And as you can see the big garage is full...

Today we finished up the insulation and got the sheeting for the walls. The spacing for the studs were inconsistent all around and we had to do a lot cutting to fit. Luckily we had just picked up this stapler for insulation to make the process easier.

Just got this to help put insulation up, it makes it a lot easier than a manual stapler.

And finally this is where we ended today. You can see where we will cut out for the fan that will be used for the paint booth. We ran out of insulation with that little bit of work left. :lol_hitti Doing insulation is not the funnest thing to do, but at least it will stay cooler in the...

Framed the window opening. To much stuff in the big garage to work inside so we had to work outside. Luckily it was nice out. Window is in The wall height is a little low for a full size door so some modifications were made to the header to sit against the top plate. Setting up the...

The first step this week was to finish out the RC shop as it was the only space without a lot of stuff in it. This is my first time doing any wiring, I think I did a decent job. I had a few mistakes, but with my dads guidance it turned out well:shocking: We then cut a hole out for...
