A few more pics of the mostly finished project.

Thanks! I never really realized my thread was not in the proper place! Thanks for letting me know. I will check to see if they can move it.

Thanks! I really got lucky on the interior walls... I was going back and forth thinking about drywall, or doing OSB. Then out of the blue I was offered free plywood! I might have already mentioned, my GF's workplace gets shipments of trailer axles banded to plywood. Over the years, they end...

Here you go; ( took me a few minutes to find it!!) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Arlington-Industries-12-1-2-in-x-11-1-4-in-PVC-Mounting-Block-Kit-8141-1/202284580

I think I used heavy duty lag screws to mount the recessed octagon mounting/dress plate (bought separately). The screws supplied with the light are beefy enough that I just used those from the base plate into the octagon mounting housing. I used a small reciprocating saw to cut out the siding...

Thanks. I got them off Amazon. I was happy with their construction/quality. CANARM BL16WACBK Outdoor Aluminum Barn Light https://www.amazon.com/CANARM-BL16WACBK-Outdoor-Aluminum-Light/dp/B00NA4VLBU/ref=pd_nav_hcs_rp_i_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NVYFAAED27YG3719VMHZ

Thanks Radix.

No climate control really. Just want to make sure that in the winter I can keep it comfortable when I am in there doing a project. I did R-19 in the walls and ceiling. (faced). I have a ridge vent, and soffit vent so I don't think i will have any moisture issues in the attic.

Just filling in some gaps here; When I first decided to do the garage, I figured a retaining wall would be best. However, as the project progressed I was just not happy with how it looked, and I knew I had more grading to do in order to keep the water away (and out from under) from my...

Got some protective epoxy floor put down this past weekend. I put down 2 coats of the Rustolium Epoxyshield (tan); Did first coat with no flakes and let it dry overnight. Then next day I did another coat this time with the paint chips for decoration. I was not quite happy with how it looked...

Some picture updates. Got the driveway ripped out, then a new wider driveway that incorporates the new garage.

Great info and suggestions everyone! I havn't logged in for few weeks and didn't realize there were more replies. I did end up getting them straight for the most part. I took a small peice of 2x6 pressure treated wood that I had and layed the 3pt arm on it and used the press. I did have to...

I have a Kubota BX that has cat1 3pt hitch arms. On the lower end of cat1 as its a sub-compact. Last fall I had my heavy duty blade on the back when i was moving a bunch of dirt from one side of the yard to the other with the front loader. While in reverse on an incline, i accidentally dug one...

Very cool table! I am right there with you. I 'dabble' in woodworking. ;)

Don't want to lose my 'man card', but my girlfriend kept bugging me that she wanted to build a scratching post/cat perch for her 2 cats. I decided to spend the day with her making some good old fashioned tacky cat furniture. Whatever makes her happy. I have a bunch of extra old plywood that...
