Made a little progress on the chimney for the wood stove today. ***sorry for the messy garage*** I painted the rest of the pipe and elbow. I also crimped the pipe ouside and sprayed another coat of paint around it. The hose clamps will hold the brackets for the turnbuckle that attaches to...

Jordie! Glad to see you make it on here! It's Super_OK_S13 from Zilvia... Can't wait to see progress of the house and garage on here! It looks like it will be really sweet and the extra space will be nice too.

:::Update::: I got a call from my Dad and he said, "I have a Chimney pipe for you". He brought it over and set it outside the garage door for me while i was at work. Its a piece of 7"x10ft long. the one end had tabs cut into it so i only lost an inch after trimming them off. After work i...

I sealed up the wood stove/boiler with furnace cement around the fire box sections where they meet when bolted together. I sealed along the bottom on the inside where i'll lay some fire bricks on the bottom and a grate on top of them. I also plumbed to the outside where the chimney will turn...

Thanks guys! The 240 has become more of a show car/ car meet/ weekend cruise car. Ive never really beat on it other than a spirited drive here and there, but nothing insane. Thats what i have my rc drift car for. Heres a couple of the one in the avatar.

This is a picture from yesterday in the garage. you can see the other workbench on the left wall I made the other day. Here's the main tool chest. Since my uncle worked for sears for a LOOOONG time there are many Craftsman tools, but a good mixture of others in there too!! A lot of my yard...

Mid 2013 I bought/inherited my great uncles estate that was full of tools and garage/shop space that came with the property. I am VERY thankful for the stuff I have that he left behind and will cherish it forever! Here's the garage.. started with a couple workbenches. After a week...

Thanks for the warm welcome!! Here is a picture of my great grandmas ceramic shop that is on the property too. It has 2 rooms up stairs one of which is a nice sized wood shop. There is a 3 car open bays garage on it for storage. We are probably going to tear the building down and re-build the...
