Ended up finally getting to the rear pads on Thursday night. Yesterday, I pulled the clutch cover off of my KX250 to work on stopping an annoying leak/drip it's developed. Then later in the day, a friend dropped off a new project and/or parts bike. A '92 GSXR750. Free of charge. Gotta...

I've got a 22x23 attached, that only one car will ever park inside of, and I wish I had more space. I've currently got one car and three motorcycles in there, and it's filling up fast. I'm trying to lay it out so that I've got enough room for the car, three bikes, work bench, tool box, and a...

Changed the oil in the wife's daily driver last night. Planning to replace the rear brake pads tonight if time allows.

I was, yes. I'll be using it to reinforce the shelving that remains, and to frame the shelving for doors.

Ceiling done! I think I've decided on wall colours. CIL "Evening Shadow" on the bottom 4' of wall, and CIL "Surreal Blue" on the top 5'. The Surreal Blue matches the floor perfectly. Thinking the bottom will be semi-gloss, the top satin, and the two will be separated by a 4" gloss black...

Been a busy few weeks, but finally finished the priming yesterday. One coat on all walls, and one coat on the ceiling, with maybe a half gallon of primer left over. I'll grab a pic tonight to post. Also picked up a gallon of flat white ceiling paint, so hoping to roll that on tonight or...

Hoping to go pick up primer either this evening or tomorrow. Thinking about grabbing Kilz Pro-X PVA stuff. Decent choice? A five gallon paid should be enough, no? As for paint, I'm thinking I might do two tone grey on the walls, darker on the bottom, lighter on the top (hopefully to match...

Not a bad thought at all. I'll consider other options when the time comes...

Yeah, everything I do, I'm trying to plan based on maximizing the space I have available. Drywall work got finished this evening. Hoping to roll on primer this weekend!

Drywall finishing started this week and should be done by next weekend hopefully. I decided to tear out the suspended shelving. It was deep enough that I could see myself breaking my neck on a ladder trying to retrieve something, and i think it would have made the workbench area feel too...

Very nice! Love the D675 too!

Current plan is to cut off the lowest level of the suspended shelving: I'm thinking I'm going to mount one or two 4' dual T8 fixtures under the shelving that remains, and that area is where my tool box/workbench/sink will end up. The rest of the shelving will probably stay, but get a make...

Hired someone yesterday to come in and finish the mudding/sanding. There are few jobs I'm not willing to attempt myself, and this is one of them (I've tried and the past and butchered it terribly). Looking forward to having the walls ready for primer/paint. I've also decided it's probably...

You and me both! I considered putting clear over top of it, but that would make touch-ups more difficult down the road, so I've decided not to. I'm into the floor for about $125 at this point, so if I need to touch it up everyone once in a while, I'm not going to be heartbroken. I'll be...

This past weekend, I tackled the floor. I went with the Rustoleum one-part epoxyshield paint. I know it doesn't get much love compared to the two-part epoxies, but the cost savings, and ease of touching it up in the future sold me. I went with armor grey, with tan flakes. I added one pack of...
