Looks good! One question: When I think “pole barn” I think metal exterior panels. Are there any concerns about the lower parts getting wet? I got a chance to rent a Shelby GT-H on a business trip to Nashville once. That was a good trip!

I want to build a table for my deck to hold food when I grill and serve when we have a party. Anyone built something like that? Post it up! I'm looking for ideas. I have an IKEA kitchen island out there now leftover from our kitchen remodel but it wasn't intended for outdoor use and is...

At first I thought “that’s not too much left behind.” Then you said 2 dumpsters full! Looks like a great place - nice house, cool garage, carport, and lots of Corvettes!

First time checking out your thread and let me say, “THANK YOU!!!!” Thanks for posting the actual costs. I’m in planning stages (well more like dreaming) so it’s nice to see real costs to give me starting ideas. I’ll have to spend more time at the beginning of the thread to see how you did it.

Great thread. Your writing style makes it very enjoyable to follow along. As for content, I like the progression of the building renovation. Keep the updates coming!

Wow - great space! The XK is such a great looking car and your red one is a great color. I can't wait to see how the shooting brake project comes along.

Haha, it was neat seeing the building they walked into and then thinking, "I've seen that place before!" It looked great, by the way. While I can't say I've built any concours-winning cars myself, I did raise my eyebrows at some of their techniques. Still it's a fun show to watch and gives me...

Hi Don - Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't read through 335 pages today! Saw you on Netflix, did you get one of those XNR replicas? (Well, at least I'm assuming it was you I saw, unless there are other guys named Don with a Corvette like that parked in front of their epic garage.)

DEWALT has one.

What size tubing are you using? Curious to know the ID and the tubing you plan on using for the "receiver" mounts. Cool project! I like that bandsaw table too - need to look into that.

Great looking project, OP! I've been thinking about doing something like this - your build is very inspirational. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

My old K5 Blazer sat on the lawn at the end of my driveway for 11 years. I finally donated it to a charity. That spot stayed empty for 3 months until I got a new truck and pushed my GTI into the old Blazer spot. It's been sitting there now for 2 1/2 years. No HOA in my area and none of my...

I have the Porter-Cable unit. Not as popular as the Kreg obviously but I’m loving it. Like someone else said, I’ve used it for things other than cabinets. It’s got a pretty neat system for setup that allows you to easily move along the length of the piece for more holes. Worth a look IMO.

Following along. Where I want to put a garage on my lot would require a retaining wall and lots of fill. I'm curious to see how the garage sits on top of your raised area.

Really neat build! I think you need to pay those workers more money. None of them can afford to buy a shirt!
