You should incorporate a bracket for your welding helmet on top so the lenson your " new " helmet doesn't get all covered in dirt. The way it is now all the sparks from grinding will damage it, I know this because I've done it . Dad

Cannot believe has been over a year since I posted. But between huge house problems, and a broken collarbone, etc,etc, this has turned into my longest build ever. Huge gap in progress photos, outside is now done, working on the inside. Will try to do a better job from here on out. Started...

Garage looking great. Just an epoxy floor question, not sure if this has been asked on this forum or not ? I usually fill the saw cuts in the floor with some type of cement caulking / epoxy, should you still do that if you plan on an epoxy top coat ? I see in ssathre's garage, you can still...

Good deal, I agree, she is fine.

Nice truck and boat !! Any closer pictures of Courtney around your truck ? She is also a fine example . Did you meet her ?

I am going to put the Ag-Tuf panels on my ceiling and walls in the new garage. I went and looked at a finished garage with the panels, and it looks great. I liked the brightness and the fact you can wash them down. I will put pictures in my thread once we have it installed. Curious about...

Trusses all up, tied in, starting to sheet the roof between rain storms and sweltering heat.

Water is actually the Ottawa River, excellent swimming and boating. All the Canadian activity could be because our keyboards finally thawed out from winter !! In reality, very hot here right now. 90 - 95 degrees for the last week while framing the garage. Hot work. Lot's of beer breaks.

As of today 3 walls up, 2 trusses up, 1 wall and 19 trusses to go.

pics of the progress

Started two weeks ago on a new shop for all the toys. 28 X 40, scissor trusses, shallow footings, insulated concrete block for first row, then 2 X 6 framing from there. Planning on epoxy floor. Will post some pics soon, just was wondering if I could copy an idea I saw on here for the " Bowtie...

Blackice, you should go to Kawartha next year to watch the Legends, they are lightning fast there, close to 100mph corner entry speed. I won a feature and two heats there last year, it is my favorite track. Race

A few pic's of some fun up in Canada. 1934 Ford legend race car, 1931 Ford roadster, 305 Chevy, some Champ 440 Snowmobile ice racing,etc. Also have a 1980 Chevy Short box, will try to find a shot of it later.
