Not much has changed in the garage lately. Still have a few little plans but I have some car / house stuff to address first. These pics are from a few weeks ago: Still loving the quickjacks

Thanks Dubber! I haven't inspected his car after the mishap but he thinks everything should polish out.

Thanks Boosted1! I had the kids in the garage cleaning my work bench this morning. Crazy ��

greyghost18t: Thanks! The wheels look great on your car too. dubber: Thanks! Definitely buy some of the jacks. They make everything so much easier. The other day I made some hooks for the QuickJacks to mount them on the wall. I saw some online for about $40 and would likely have just bought...

Hey dubber, My first time on GJ in a while and I'm shocked to see this! But, happy for you at the same time that you're stretching out and growing into something bigger. I enjoyed following this thread and it certainly served as inspiration and motivation to me and many others. I look forward...

Thanks again Sean. I'm motivated to keep going on some little tweaks here and there, so I'll try and keep updates coming in the next few weeks. I also want to go back and move my old pictures in this thread to Flikr from Photobucket since I don't use the latter anymore.

Hah I forgot about this thread, thanks Sean! No updates in the basement right now. Things look mostly the same, but I do have plans for the near future. I want to re-purpose the basement work area to accommodate some composite work I want to learn and 3D printing. More on that later, though.

Hey everyone, Spring is in the air and I'm well overdue for an update. I've gone through a lot of personal changes this past year but I've managed to keep the garage sorted out and have tackled a number of fun projects. I finished the S4 paint correction which came out fantastic. I then did my...

Dubber, only a bit of sarcasm :P I'll make sure to post pics when I run the hot water line. I was going to check my pex and fitting inventory last night and hit HD today, but forgot! I know Blake is a busy guy, juggling several major projects at the same time, so I'll help him with some...

Thread bump, let's see some updates. A few posts ago the garage looked almost clean, you've probably had a lot of time to get everything squared away and put back where it belongs? Also seeing your hot water hose bib pictures reminded me I have to do the same at my place if I'm going to be...

Thanks! Yeah the S4 'hopefully' shouldn't move much during the winter. I picked up a Smart car for daily duties. I have a long list of little things the S4 needs mechanically as well, so this will be a good opportunity to finally tackle all those.

Nice space you have there GirlnAgarage! You have a great eye for detail. Seeing some of your latest posts reminds me that I really need to paint my garage side wall. Mine's mostly bare wood :S (so embarrassing, I know) Keep the updates coming! PS: I also had the impression pegboard was a cheap...

Hey, I've finally managed to re-finish the back wall of the garage, which included taking everything down, filling the holes, painting, installing a new cabinet and shelf, and slightly modifying the shelf above the lathe. The new paint definitely makes the biggest difference. Before pictures...

Thanks for the kind words GirlnAgarage! Yup, it's Barry! The transformation over time is very telling of my growth both personally and mechanically. It's evident that I haven't been updating lately, and that's largely because I've been busy with other things and also just using the garage. I...

Nice space! I followed a similar process for my 2 car garage. Additional outlet circuit, removed drywall for insulation, insulated door, racedeck, I used OSB for my walls instead of slat wall, but similar concept, etc. Been loving it. I regularly have garage days / gatherings as well. Enjoy the...
