Looks like an "A" frame in through the woods

When I was 5 or 6 we were care takers for a cemetery and Dad taught me how to work on the mowers. He died when I was almost 11 and mom's first boyfriend worked a a stone quarry and he taught me to hard face weld and use air tools and torque extenders ( a pipe ) By the time I got to trade school...

I have a solid wood door with 1/2" plywood screwed & glued to both sides and it opens in. I have an old garage door opener attached to a 2 X 6 board that drops into angle brackets to create a real secure lock/security dead bar. I have almost the same reinforcement on the roll up but no opener, Z...

New work bench / toolbox wall, the rest will be drywall but not fussy with finish. Just a quick mud and paint

A bathroom is high on the list, the second is more lighting than you think you'll need. After that it depends on what you plan on doing in there. As old as I am ( dirt & I are cousins) those two suggestions are most important. Security, no matter where you live anymore.

I have an 18X28 "A" frame storage over garage on an acre of woods. Have it cleaned out and doing insulation and walls over the long weekend. I have an '85 caddy to repower with a tall deck 427 .060 over. should be fun when done

New to me Garage Chalet, even boarded up and needing cleaned out I at least finally have something to contribute

Just picked up this antique Pittsburgh unit said to be a high pressure compressor. The motor surely isnt the right one but I can't find diddly about it. I just want it as a project to restore so if anyone knows anything about these, let's hear it. Thanks

Just bought this and have a lot to clean out before insulating and covering walls an cieling. Projects to come stating at the end of the month. So for now the garage itself is my project. By the way thanks all for the idea's you'll see me using.

One old guy's slice of heaven. A 2 story with "A" frame styling on an acre of woods. The ink is still drying and a lot of work to clean it out.

Congrats on a new build! I sure wish I could even afford close to that. I had quoted here in PA a 24X36 5" floor with fiber and screen. 2) 9X7 doors one man door 2X4 walls 8 foot high and at a shell price of $34,000. I am retireing next year so to steep. I am starting a contractor on the yard...

[For over 33 years I have worked on Deutz, John Deere, Mitsubishi, Lister, Wis-con, Hatz, Robin, and Iveco industrial diesel engines in a wide variaty of equipment. The main responsibility has been engines, not the equipment. Working with Mitsubishi / Cat and Deutz ? Volvo has been fun. Most...

I have 5 roll cabs an 2 top boxes along with 5 small carry boxes. Then there are the tool bags and tool kits. Here are a set I use at work.

Here is some 60's wrenches from Germany, a couple SO tools from back then and some misc stuff from when I started wrenchin

Had to put down my Dobie a couple years ago and just let what's available run around here. The cat is actually pretty cool she comes when called and keeps my chest warm these days.
