    Wow! The before and after pic's are crazy different!:eyecrazy: That thing is huge. In the third picture, having that support column outside the wall in the "middle" of the floor must have been awkward at best. Makes ya wonder.:headscrat

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Eastern Washington Workshop

    I was fortunate enough that when I moved the main door from the west wall to the east wall of the garage, the rain doesn't do that any more. Awesome work on the shop!

    Hi Bob, Just checking in on you thread and saw the belly tanks. those are a great score and could make a neat project. I was thinking a cool go-kart tribute tanker or a even a small engined full on streamliner. I did notice the previous owner hacked the drivers opening into what is normally the...

    The Wretched Mess Garage

    Well, I've been at it again. Can't leave well enough alone. I was going through the junk drawer(s), and I found these odd little Ikea cabinet lights left over from a different project.

    sanity check - GhostShield 4500 & 8510

    After being in my garage for about a year, I spilled some of that "Future-Floor wax" acrylic stuff on the unsealed floor. I liked the way it brought out some different light browns and tans on the spot it ended up on. So I found some more of it( A full case at a garage sale of all places. )and...

    Need advice, got took by the concrete man....

    Maybe that was his answer to forgetting the floor drain. No? I Didn't think so either. If you still owe money on that kind of work, Don't pay it! I'm not a concrete guy and I can (and have) done better than that. If you paid up front, small claims court, I feel, is in order. Legal Zoom and...

    The Wretched Mess Garage

    Since I had moved my "big old" Pennzoil sign to the out side of the garage, I now had a place to put up the overhead cabinets. I was looking for two left, and two right cabs. But, they only had one lefty in the whole pile. So...I got one lefty and three righty. For $20 bucks a shot? I wasn't...
