I got the collar put on the chest freezer. Sealed it up and added insulation to the inside of the wood. It’s holding at 0*f right now. I’ll try to get the temperature controller added sometime this week. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Iowa, Yes sir. My grandfather is also a wood worker. Sorry to hear of yours passing. Some of my favorite childhood memories were made in my grandfathers woodshop. With a little imagination, you can make it work. I’m currently in the mood to rearrange mine. Things change... I don’t do much...

Thanks for the kind words and stopping by George. Take care, Blake Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I picked up a chest freezer for $100. Couple years old but in a great shape. Going to make a fermentation chamber out of it and maybe later, into a keezer(freezer converted to kegerator). More stuff in the garage! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Thanks Unruh! I made the cabinets on the left half side high enough to go over the hood of my truck because I knew I would need to add onto them eventually. The cabinets on the right half are primarily for brewing equipment. The fridge in the picture there is a repair job I am doing. For...

Hey y’all, been away for a bit. Life gets busy sometimes. Ever happen to ya? Happened to me. Added some more cabinets in the garage. Had to add more cabinets because I picked up a new hobby with my father in law. Homebrewing beer! Been a lot of fun and a great learning experience...

Thanks Bret. Hmmm. Every garage should have a name but it’s gotta be unique and be open for trademark. Haha.

Hello y’all, got some time back in the garage again. We were cleaning the house up and we had an old tv and instead of getting rid of it, I went to Harbor Freight and got a tv wall mount for cheap. I got the tv hung up and then ordered the Amazon Fire Stick. I was worried I wouldn’t get a strong...

So much more room for activities in the shed! I like the quality you put into making the countertops match. Love you work. Glad to hear you're getting the car moving again. -Blake

Thank you Sean, I appreciate that. I take pride in my work because I don't want people coming into the garage and asking "Who built that? It looks like..." :lol_hitti Appreciate you stopping by. Take care. -Blake

Yes sir. That’s kind of how I was. The idea is to be able to use scraps for newer stuff but most of us know that will never happen...but at least it’s organized. Thanks Captain. I try to put as much free money into the garage as possible. Thanks for that. Our pets are very special to us...

Thanks Unruh. I really like it and it’s functional. Just can’t store my full length stock which isn’t a big deal because I shouldn’t have all that to begin with. I bought too much for those projects and never returned it.

Hey y’all, made it back into the garage to build my lumber cart. The company I work for gave us $100 visa gift cards for Christmas so I used that to purchase the materials plus about $20 of my own money. All in all, a simple solution to a simple problem.

Ashley looks like she is wore out from watching you do unsafe things in the garage. :lol_hitti Dogs are very dear to my heart. I have 2 others that are a handful and will get more of my attention now but they'll love it.
