Thanks, I am equal opportunity car guy but I really have a big soft spot for Mopars. I mostly own Mopars.

The fire department has the right to inspect any business address. Its a law as a matter of fact. They do have to make it as convenient as possible for you though. The reason the fire department doesn't want you living in your industrial unit is that the industrial units have more hazards and...

Best tool that you will ever buy. I promise. Great looking shop by the way.

Well here is what happened. I went out and rented a concrete saw and a jack hammer. I took the saw and cut the opening. And here is the pile of stucco. I tried to cut the footing as close to the framing as possible but still was a few inches shy. Then I took great care and chalked out a...

Thanks for the compliment. I hate doing drywall, but a friend of mine showed how to make it to where I didn't have to sand it and that tip made life easier. First I mix the mud a little thinner than it comes in the box, more like pancake batter. Then I apply sparingly and do 2 coats over 2 days...

I couldn't tell you what it cost as far as labor. I did it all myself. I did have a lot of help since I seem to be a little lost when it come to house improvements. I have done the drywall throughout my house so I am pretty set there. I always try to pick up hints and tricks whereever I can get...

Time for an update. Drywall being hung. More pics of it going up Tape and mud Texture And paint I used Behr primer and ultra white semi gloss paint. Its my first time using Behr products and I was quite impressed, although it took more primer/paint to cover a given area than the...

I have an Ammco and love it. I bought it used and it has served me faithfully. I would recommend them to anyone.

Its time for an update. Things are moving really slow. I am doing this work myself and I have very little time lately to work on the garage, but I need to get moving since our rainy season is coming in a month or so. This is the saw that I rented to cut out the stucco and the footer for the...

Hey folks, I have a ton of questions but this is the one that has me stumped. I need to install a man door in my garage and I already have it framed. I need to cut out the stucco and the concrete footer to create the opening. Here is a pic of it. At the bottom of the pic is the footer. I...

Sorry, Is that better? I am new to this. I dont understand your question. Its code R4 Red which is a stock color for 70. You can find it on the paint chip sheets for that year Plymouth.

Here of some pics of my rented shop as requested. I dont really have any pics of the shop itself just pics of whatever I was working on but you can get the jist of it. I am standing in the middle of the shop facing the front. Now I am standing on the other side of the Dart facing the back...

I was driving over to my buddies shop and saw this from the road. These are the same lift I bought. They are modular and I got two of them.

Funny you should comment on that. I am a fireman. :lol_hitti I guess proper practices dont apply to me. Its like the mechanics car always leaks oil.

We have been looking at unincorporated parts of Orange County to buy a house with enough lot. Unfortunately its a tough time to buy a second house with the banks having their head in their a$$. So we decided to back off for a few years and try again later.

Beautiful Cuda! Congrats.

Last of the pics. The 2x6s installed From another angle. West wall with 4x4 post installed and romex just pulled into place before the OSB goes up.

Alright the plan is to support the ridge beam and add some collar ties to the rafters to keep the peak true. Then add OSB to the 2 side walls to bring it up to code for earthquake resistance. Finally I need to add a door to the rear so I can enter the garge without opening the garage door...

Hey folks, I have been lurking around here for a while and admiring the spacious garages. Since I live in California lot sizes run less than most garages/shops on this site. My lot is 6000 square feet and I wish I had the room to build a bigger garage, but I dont so I have to make do with what...

Dont leave us hangin. Lets see the Cuda!
