    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    I didn't look through every post so sorry if it's a repeat but I made some shelves out of rain gutter to hold paint cans. Works great and things don't fall off when the doors slam shut on the cabinet. Other nice thing is they cost about $4 each and come in any length you need.

    Lets see your workbench

    Hey all, Love seeing all the great work benches and thought I would share one I just built from almost all scrap wood. The top is an old counter top a friend gave me and the drawer handles are some old wrenches I had laying around along with some old bolts from my yard art 48 Ford truck. Enjoy

    So here's a couple pictures of the "done" garage. Got the heater installed a couple weeks ago and boy is it nice. I went with the 75,000 btu unit running on propane and it feels great and doesn't make any noise (other than the expansion and contraction moans and grown). The car lift has been...

    This time around I'm paying the bills and acting as GC for all the sub trades. I built a garage at our house in Colorado and it took me several years with all the other things life presents to a married man with kids. This time I wanted to enjoy it rather than build it :drool: The Amish guys...
