Pomme frites mit mayo! I like this little garage. Not a lot of room, but nicely organized.

I had a 800#-rated hand truck I bought from HF collapse under an empty 240# refrigerator. Took it back and the manager wanted to offer credit, I said "give me my money back"...all the time, he insisted that I overloaded the truck. He had five on display, ready to buy, that had a couple of guys...

Pm'd you with someone to stay away from!

All the time. Quiet and serene, when I choose it to be.

Did all kinds of stuff in the shop this weekend, as the temps were in the low '70s Saturday and the low 60s today. 1) Removed the front bumper on the truck for a few mods, plus installed the rt door mirror stalk (never had one on it), installed the fire extinguisher, and changed the oil and...

You can have it spray-foamed, which has to be done professionally. Were this mine, I'd go that route.

Did they remove the outside panels and replace the insulation? Yes. What size is your building? 65' x 38' Do you know the cost? $18K, but that also included the total roof replacement due to the hail storm and wind How long did it take? About four days Any advice? Hire a good roofer! The...

I've decided to go with a natural-gas unit, when I get around to replacing the shop water heater. Since my gas hookup is just six feet away from the water heater closet, that is going to work out well. Still researching gas heaters, in the meantime. But, I've decided to wait until Spring to...

There is a closet in the bathroom where the current water heater resides, so the power and the room available is no issue. The big reason I'm looking at a possible replacement heater is age. I've yet to have a water heater bought after 2000 to last more than six years, with the exception of...

I did that all the time when I lived in Germany. The kitchen and the bathroom both have their own water heaters - the kitchen had an on-demand unit, and the bathroom had a 25-liter stand-alone unit; both electric.

I found a 12-gallon gas and a 12-gallon electric both at Lowe's this evening. And yes, the damn thing is nearly as expensive at the big heaters! Holy ****! @CNGsaves - I'm looking at a radiant gas heat system for the shop. It's fairly large (38' x 63') with 14' sidewalls and an 18' peak...

The house is natural gas, but the shop is all-electric. Could go gas, but I would rather replace the big 50-gal unit with a 5-gal electric unit. Simplicity, and I don't have to plumb for gas.

In my shop, I have a 50-gallon electric water heater. I installed a 50-gallon initially, because we happened to be using the shop as living space while our house was being built (we had our RV parked inside the shop), and a larger bathroom was necessary for a family of four! Live in a fifth...

Went out and worked a bit on my teardrop trailer project. Finished up a portion of the interior on the Imperial convertible. Painted the wheel centers to finish up the wife's Chrysler. Found a HUGE wasp nest in the end of the peak of the ceiling! That's it.

When I had my shop built in 2003, I probably should have shopped around more for a builder. The insulation in the shop was probably R2, if that, in value. It was nearly as hot as if I had left the walls and ceiling bare steel. The walls are essentially bubble-wrap with an inner "lining" that...

I wish I had pics of my old 24' x 12' one-car attached garage I had in my first bought home. It was in a house built in 1960. The gas water heater and the furnace were both elevated approximately five feet, inside two closets; and in the front of the garage. The washer went underneath the...

Re: Finishing my shop storm repair on the roof and carport There is still about two hours worth of repair to finish on the south side of the shop, where a 60 knot wind gust removed the new trim, which was not yet completely fastened to the shop. They are bringing the replacement parts to...

Way too clean! That's great use of what is normally wasted space in 99.98% of garages that have that much room above a door. If my garage was to ever be that clean and organized, that means I'm probably dead and someone came in and cleaned me out!

Thomas - It has been about eight months since I last visited your amazing thread! All I can say is - you are living the dream! I have a few relatives not far from you that I intend to visit next Summer, and would really love to see your shop, if I'm not being too forward in asking! You have...

Finishing my shop storm repair on the roof and carport My shop and house got hit pretty hard by the May hailstorms...thankfully, we were a few miles from all the big-*** tornadoes that happened all around us at that time...but the hail and torrential rains made a mess of things, in any case...
