What I'm looking at right now is lighting, floor coatings for the 2 garages and basement. Building a facilities and plumbing room around all the water equipment in the basement. The what ifs of putting up drywall. The number of shelves I can get in the basement. And set up ot the shops. I have...

Thanks! I think it's pretty swell. I will keep everyone posted! That has not been decided yet, definitely something that fits the property aesthetically. I'm thinking a straight up "red barn" or something similar to Buickfarmers Faux dealership build. Maybr a wwII Quansot Hut. Definitely not...

Currently plans call for lighting in the shop and basement. Set up of all my current shop equipment and shelving. Get power to the small garage. A gravel parking pad and a container or 2 for extra storage plus the Restoration of outbuildings and the house, along with any upgrades I come up with...

Howdy Ya'll!! I recently made the plunge into home ownership. I have purchased 9.32 acres with a 1920's farm house and several outbuildings a little north of Seattle. I run my own business and my 2200 sqft shop I rent is coming up for sale and it just didn't make sense to move forward in that...

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to turn them or that cheaper stuff doesn't say to do that. Just if you buy higher quality parts you don't have to do that and personally I like high quality parts in my brake systems.

Not once in my time at a major brake and tire store did I ever turn a new rotor or drum. If you buy a rotor or drum that needs to be turned before install you should find a new parts supplier.

Re: Tips & Tricks Big wrenches come off the other end too....

Bed liners. Seriously. When I worked Flatrate at a dealer quick lube doing mostly LOF's, brakes, and 30,60,90's I would usually flag around 16-20 hours a day. Most of it was LOFs and other stuff, but if I had a slow day, BEDLINERS! I was one of the first techs with a cordless impact and for some...

Beautiful!

When my Grandfather sold his fifth wheel he was trying to sell it with his truck. a 1979 Ford supercab. No one wanted a newish fifth wheel and a 30 year old truck. So he called me up one day and asks me if I want the truck. Of course I did! So about a week later I show up to pick it up and the...

I get more done in my 500sqft than you do in your monstrosity...you spend to much time sweeping and walking back and forth. ;)

Thanks! I didn't have all the tools I have now when I moved in. I've been here 5 years now. Just turned 29 in fact. Here is my first garage. I couldn't get a car in it.... In fact now that I think of it, I know you are on the Hamb and I think I bought that gas pump side from you.

So here are some shots from today. This is a cart from a broken Atlas engine analyzer My mom found on the side of the road by her house. I tried to get it working but it was really messed up. I pulled the electronics off and now it houses my grinders and cut off wheels. I have some plans in...

Yep! lots of work...always sweeping up metal bits. Bib Overalls is correct, It's a Ford flathead, 59AB model to be exact. It's out of a 46 Ford Tudor. Thank! $80 is a good price, I've seen them much higher. I try to! It's been a lot of scrounging to get it where it is today. Both the car...

I appreciate the offer Rich, but it's a ways outside of my budget. The one in the pictures I got for free when Magnolia Hi-Fi quit doing car audio. I am sure some of you are beginning to see a pattern here....cheap and free. :thumbup:
