    How to select a cat for garage cat duty?

    My first thought would be to see if you could get a cat from Australia or possibly one raised by goats. But then something jogged my memory. You want to talk to the folks in this video about Pinky. Maybe Pinky has some offspring, relatives, or friends. If that's the case, you're good to go...

    Garage Build in the Swiss Alps

    What is the red name for this 964, George? I'm familiar with Guards Red- I suppose one of the standard Porsche reds. This darker metallic color is fantastic(!). Really enjoying the build. Keep up the great work. Dave

    28'x48' garage/shop with heavy excavation, looking for a lot of thoughts

    There may be merit in permanently partitioning the shop/work area from the storage. That way you contain any mess or debris during restoration work. It seems like you might benefit from multiple lifts in the collection storage area- especially if that means you can have ample work space in the...

    The Concrete Underground

    Re: The Concrete might be Underground but I'm not. Terrick, The mods closed the thread when Doug hadn't posted in awhile. To my recollection, the way they left it was it was closed until such time that he wanted to restart it. Happy New Year Doug and welcome back! Dave

    6-Car Garage Parking Configuration?

    A lot of good suggestions. I don't know the name, but there's a particular type of lift I've seen which might work... You park the first car under it and the second car on it. You leave the space between the lift and the door clear. When the lift is lowered, it places the car in the empty space...

    Ok, not garage related, but as craftsman/handyman/diy'ers looking to help out...

    I live in NYC and was out of town when Sandy hit here. My friend owns a house in the Rockaways (NYC, borough of Queens, but out at the Atlantic Ocean). Everything there got hammered. My friend was there the day after the storm blew through. He called me that night about rebuilding the place. I...

    Gas stations to living spaces

    With USTs (underground storage tanks) the issue isn't so much permitting- will my town allow me to use it- as it is liability. Furthermore, it's the feds rather than local regulators who look into it. If there are USTs on site, or if there may have been tanks there in the past, it's incumbent...

    Underground Building Techniques..

    This reminds me of when Blue Lou Morini says, 'Chicken wire?' in The Blues Brothers. :D The tile in this case is drain tile. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=drain+tile&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
