Got the walls finished and set some stuff up so its all usable for the time being, hopeing to finish organizing this weekend. Also, got a new tool box and a pipe making kit for my birthday/xmas. Its not finished but it was pretty fun to mess with so far.

Finished the back wall, insulated the remaining wall, and put up the other piece of plywood for the stone. Also acquired a table saw from the father in law, so now i'll be able to rip the top boards to completely finish the walls. Im hoping the weather breaks a little and I can move the beams...

Got the garage emptied. Insulated the back wall and got some more tongue and groove hung. I used the stuff from my buddy which is a different color but it looks good. Depending on how it all turns out I might sand this down to match the lighter stuff. The plywood is where the wood stove is...

Made a woodstove last night with one of the barrel kits, to put in while doing the wall.

Very nice, looks like things are moving right along. I like what your doing with the space. It looks like your "stair tester" is ready for testing lol

Decided to stick to kerosene and wood for heating, so im just going to go off the breaker box in the house. That'll give me lights and outlets for tools, which is enough for what I need. Ran out of finish nails, but basically finished this wall. Hopefully starting on insulation and putting up...

Working at a snails pace.. The wood from the barn wasnt as old or in as great of shape as I had hoped, but its still free so its a win. My buddy and I only pulled some of the second story floor boards. I'll probably use them on the back wall. We should have thought ahead more installing the...

sublime68charger - Thanks! I plan on redoing the roof so one of my options was adding a ridge vent and soffit vents, then putting in rafter vents/insulation baffles and using the same faced insulation as the walls. If I have enough tongue and groove left over I'll use that as a finish (or im...

wasfast - Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to start paying better attention to that. I would definitely like to avoid any insect issues!

driftpin - Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. I definitely know the Himrod, my father in law and mother in law go there all the time. We usually have family dinner there when we can all get together. I actually think they have a burger on their menu named after his last name, Dunkelberger...

Accomplished a little more last night. Bulk of my time was spent moving things around in order to actually get to the wall to work on it. :lol_hitti Its turning out even better than I thought considering its 30 yr old tongue and groove subfloor. I actually like the look of the imperfections.

Very cool, nice work!! I love when something that would normally be demolished is made into something to be admired. The stories behind the buildings are what make them great.

Got to some garage related projects recently. Used some of the junkier barn beams/door from my father in law to make myself a second work bench. I squared up one of the old doors, which had started to rot and then notched a few beams for the legs. I attached everything together using timberlok...

I havent updated in awhile because it seems that ive been helping everyone else on their projects, which has lead to falling behind on my own. Not exactly garage related but heres a few updates on what ive been able to accomplish in my limited spare time. Poured a new slab for the steps and...

In the background of the driveway photos you might notice I have been doing some work on our front porch. It was an enclosed front porch that we didnt really like so we decided to turn it into a traditional front porch. Im still not finished but here are some pictures of where I'm at. As always...
