SMG, Welcome to garage journal! I drive through there everyday on my way to work in Rockford from about a hour west! You have a GREAT PROJECT that will be fun to watch. Keep posting and be prepared for all the "help" you will get here cause we love to spend your money Rob

Its to small you better double the size! Kidding of course (kind of) so what part of the world is this in? I see a nuke cooling tower in the background. We need more info! Rob

Heres a couple of more pictures showing the start of the steps and then the back side of the garage where it just steps down at the end of the wall. The wall curves at the back corner on the opposite end. For right now the top cap block is just sitting there and not glued down yet tell I get the...

Thanks ODIS, it was a HOT dry summer in our area so it got put off tell it cooled off a little so now it will be bust *** to get everything done. More pics to come. Rob

oops pictures didn't attach.

I wanted to build steps by the man door to go from the driveway or garage down to the yard so the design changed several times to make it to where you are not seeing the backside or end of any of the blocks. Of course the type I bought about 400 of they do not make finished end blocks for so...

Well I have been laying low or laying around depends on who you talk to I guess for a while trying to recover financially from this build and enjoy other hobbies, work family etc you all know the drill. Well it was time to get to work on landscaping or at least try to get the retaining wall...

Are you kidding me 3 days with no updates???? Whats going on here? You are going to have to fix this limited access to internet because those of us that are hooked need to have our fix! Rob

Domel - Unfortunately I didn't find this site until I was in the middle of construction so with the heat tubes in the floor I can not anchor a lift. If I would have found this site previous to the start I would have known to plan ahead for such things. Rob

I'm guessing you can have what ever you want to pay for!!!

Finally swept it out and put some tools away! No daily drivers inside just a couple of projects Rob

MP&C thank you for your quick reply! That is what I was thinking about the hot roll as well but it is always a good idea to get advice from a pro. Thanks again, Rob

Ok guys I need a little help or opinions on which material do I use for making patch panels hot roll or cold roll material and I think 20ga??? I've been in the welding industry for almost 30 years but I have never really messed with this light of material or this type of work but now I have a...

First welcome to garage journal. I would look at some of the thru wall units (similar to what you see in a hotel) for the heat/air but you sure you really want to give up garage space for a rec room? To most guys myself included I dont care how big the garage is its to small! Your call so good...

Thomas, Add me to the long list of lurkers for about 9 months but I have kept my mouth shut (or fingers off the keys) tell now because with your talents and attention to detail there hasn't been anything to add. On this pin can you put it back in the lathe and drill and tap into the end then...

Trust me I understand where you are coming from on the cash. Just didnt want you kicking yourself when its all done. There always has to be compromises but I am sure you will love the new space. Rob

x2 on no wall!!! You can never have enough floor space so dont chop it up! also i would try to get 10 foot minimum walls and a 8 foot tall door especially if you want to get a lift. I know it seems big now but once you put in a bench and start getting all your stuff in there it is amazing how...

Your new place looks really nice! I noticed that hydrant earlier and if that was at the end of my driveway my wife would end up moving it for them! The girl cant back up for ****! My question is if they are moving it why did the genius that poured the concrete pour right up to it? they are going...

does it have a stainless top? If so then yes but if not then I would only get it if it fit in with what you are looking for. I would offer less and see if they will take it. Rob

trbomax - I assumed you were kidding also but I work for a company that manufactures oil/water separators trench/floor drains and you would not believe how many times I have seen exactly what you said happen. Hopefully the old days of pulling the plug in your gravel driveway are over but some...
