but will the universal racks hold them when being jostled around in the van?

any one tried magnetic tape in the bottom of the drwas?

ive just bought a cheapy toolbox for my new work van and the draws are pretty deep. i used to just have my spanners rattling around in one of the draws but the new box is pretty deep and i'm sick of listening to spanners crashing around as i drive... I'm after some sort of spanner holders that...

Built a letterbox...

sorry for the bad pic. Hard to get lighting right with the LEDS above the bench being so bright... Added a vice and steel sheet to the benchtop and a temporary shelf with 8 way server rack power outlet.

yes probably. We arent allowed to put anything over the boundry line (front of garden/step) except for path/driveway. I had thought about putting it on the corner of the garden next to the drive but that was a) inviting a car to hit it, and b) looked a bit unbalanced to the eye when we...

that flagpole would make a great christmas tree. you could string down about 12-16 lines down from the top green LED strips/rope lights, then go around in a circle with green/ multicolours to make a teepee/ xmas tree. dont forget the big star on top. :) like this..

Thanks :). ill get my act together and get some pics of the inside of the garage once the workshop bench doors are done.

Well it's been a long boring winter in garage land.. so when spring sprung i got organised and turned the big pile of dirt out the front of the house into a boxed garden and railway sleeper/Lime chip path. The conduit sticking up will be the location of the custom letterbox..... oh i put a shelf...

ok so that time of the year is fast approaching so what have you got planned for the festive lighting? post up your ideas or great finds or projects.. extra points for arduino/raspberry pi/automated systems. ;)

wow ... here in New Zealand and Australia conduit is ONLY ever used on cables that is subject to possible impact. conduits are NEVER run inside walls. if you suggested it youd be looked at like you were a nutter. conduit must be dirt cheap in the states because running a house in conduit would...

buy a generator and just put enough gas in to last however long you need. :)

id love to go nuts on that place with a huge waterblaster or sand blaster

went to a house that had had a room added on. the owner had put EXTENSION LEADS through the walls and under the floors so you could "plug in" the room from another bedroom....
