The Porch and the Skunk part 2 The skunk guy then brought over a pickup full of gravel and leveled under the porch and I then ran a circuit out there and added lights. I figured it would always be creepy if there wasn’t lights in there and plus I was able to put an outdoor outlet under the...

The Porch and the Skunk part 1 So it’s the end of summer, we move into a house with a bunch of issues, no garage, and there is no way we are going to be able to figure out what we want for a garage, find a builder and get the permits and have everything happening before the snow and cold sets...

Not that I'm the most organized guy in the world, but looking at these pictures reminded me how screwed up I was for about 2-3 months not knowing where my tools were. Yes the wrenches were still in the same drawer and the pliers etc. but it was everything else that had it's place in the old...

Motor Oil - Mobile 1 I use it in everything, even my lawnmower, but that's only cause I'm cheap and drain every last little bit out of those 5 quart jugs. Ratchet - I picked up a slightly rusty locked up Snap-On 3/8" from an estate sale for a $1, soaked it in the can of Mobile 1 drippings for a...

I will make my obligatory "hi I'm new here and I promise not to cause too much trouble" post. I really enjoy working on our fleet of aging BMW's, and my second favorite garage related activity is working on projects for the house. I love my garage. (I can get away with saying that here...
