See if there's someone that does soda blasting in your area.

My Dad and I have built several "shadow box" style wood privacy fences. The nice thing about the shadow box is it looks good on both sides and they flow well with uneven terrain (as opposed to staggering pre-built sections). I really like them. Also, my Dad swears by using screws to put...

I had a former boss with an Elise like that and he rear ended somebody. The car is engineered to be so lightweight and rigid- it has all these carbon fiber brackets. So a little cosmetic damage could potentially be hiding a lot of $tructural damage! That's weird, I always thought squealing was...

Looking good. It looks like a operating room. In a GOOD way. :thumbup:

DOH! Typo. You are correct. :thumbup: The front door is 12'x10'. The original plans called for 16'x8'.

What a neat project! I know car dealers here in the states use heavy duty turntables all the time to showcase a vehicle for sale. A quick Google turned up some neat results including the mention of "air bearings".... hmm... the use of compressed air seems like a cool idea. I'd love to see...

Yes, the contractor and architect were very thorough. We actually never got held up by an inspector, but they sure liked stopping by! :rant: You'll also notice the beefy studs and headers. There's no way I'd attempt to do construction on my own in this area. The front door is 16x10. We wanted...

Yes, they drilled into the footing and ran rebar before pouring. I live in the city and I'm less than a half mile from the beach- so our building inspectors are pretty brutal around here. Like I said, a fairly normal car will make it up. So I'm going to see how it goes. But if it becomes an...

Woohoo! I finally stole a minute to upload my progress pics. It's my first time using Flickr, and I highly recommend it (especially installing the Flickr uploader tool!). Anyway here is the set. My question is regarding the transition from the driveway into the garage: I'm worried it's too...

Well, they poured it in the morning and around 3pm that afternoon I did my first ones on the back door. It turned out pretty good. A few hours later I decided to try and do the front door (pictured). The second one turned out slightly better just because the concrete was a little more cured. I...

They poured some more concrete today and I couldn't resist! Sorry guys, I've been totally slacking on the progress pics. I've been taking them- but I've been too insanely busy to post them anywhere. :(

Hi guys! I posted some info in my intro about my new garage, but I wanted to start a thread in the main discussion so I could update it with pics as the build progresses. Basically, it is a 20x30 structure with 12' walls and vaulted trusses on a 20x60 slab. The garage itself will sit at the...

....almost. The concrete is curing as we speak and the lumber just arrived. I joined this board when it became a part of the HAMB family and I haven't had much reason to post. But with the structure scheduled to be complete in 2 weeks, I got the feeling I'll be on here a lot more! I'm taking...
