For those looking for cheap in-wall or ceiling speakers. monoprice.com I've done a couple home theater set ups and whole house speakers. Very nice and cheap.

No trailers allowed, even in your driveway. I've never seen the trailer stacker, I'll have to look into that. Parking lifts are also something I hadn't thought of. I may do dormers to help with the looks. Thanks for all the ideas.

I have thought about that, but I can't go out to the side and going back from the garage would mean removing a pretty large paver patio/retaining block area. We use that are quite a bit for entertaining. Could still be a possibility if the shed doesn't pan out.

Woah! you're serious. It is a pretty flat lot, no water table worries. The lot is 3/4 acre, so a 10x17.5 shed isn't ridiculous. It was brought up before, but I intend to do what is right with the neighborhood. I was on the committee that got the HOA up and running. I want to plan this...

I guess 2-story isn't what I meant. It't be a taller wall, maybe 10-12 ft. side wall. This would allow a lift and be able to stack two cars.

Hi, I'd like to add a shed in my backyard that complies with HOA specs, but is able to store a care or two. Here is the kicker, it can only be 175 sq. ft. It is a newly established HOA, and no one has built an exterior shed yet. I'll be the first. I knew I was going to do this, so I...

This is also a good reason for something that has not been mentioned. Especially if you have a Schlage style lock that can lock you out if you forget to unlock it first (I think you'll know what I mean). My neighbor had his 3.5 yr old wake up in the middle of the night and went out in the...

Sold. Thanks.

I have this listed on craigslist in the Mpls/St. Paul area of Minnesota. Would be great in a garage, but I don't have the room. $50 OBO, willing to accept beer , of approximate value, in lieu of cash. Pick it up for the Vikings game this Sunday...

Nice set-up. I'm on Expo too, same username.

Those wire look to be original. I have a '66 Chevy II with 23K and it had the originals on it. Mine were dated 4-Q-66. Love the car.

I have a similar sized three stall garage, maybe a little bit smaller. I went with 12 cans, and used the reflector 23W (120w equivalent) flood style light with the clear glass. I originally started with 150W regular bulbs, but they were getting too hot. Like output is pretty comparable. I...

It surprises me that not many people on the this board recognize the car and you from the magazine, or pro-touring.com Anyway, if you haven't decided on the floor. I'd say go for VCT. Your in CA so environmental changes won't be a factor. I like the idea of VCT because you don't have to be...

I used these in my house. Easy to install and they are carried at some Home stores. I know Mendards has them in the midwest, not sure about CA. Great sound quality. I wired them up to a volume knob on the wall made by the same company. You could run them directly to a reciever. 4 is...

Hi - I've been lurking for a while getting ideas. great site! Here is my dilema: I am limited to 200 sq. ft. for and out building according to our development convennants. My current 3 stall is 36' wide and 24' deep, and I do most of my work there. I am running out of storage space and...
