"You kids do your homework, or I'ma gonna send you up in the plane for 10 minutes of barrel rolls..." :lol_hitti Nice toys, and it sounds like the garage overhaul is progressing well too.

My trusses for a 30 x 30 garage were $1700 + tax just over a year ago (out here in BC). Those were 2 x 4 on 24" centres and a 12/4 slope.

Cutting Pizza, maybe? Mechanics gotta eat, ya know! :beer:

Framing a two story garage will be pretty much the same as for a two story house. Take a drive through some new subdivisions where they're still building, and take a look at how the pros have done things. If you're in Canada, CMHC publishes a good reference book, the "Canadian Wood-Frame House...

Is that a massive RC plane, or do you actually get into it?

I've got a problem with my garage door...it's sitting on the ground and nobody wants to buy it! ;-P Welcome to the board, good to have another source of knowledge around.

When I built my garage, the slab work was the only thing I hired out. You're putting a couple thousand dollars worth of concrete into place, and you have a very limited amount of time to place your zip strips, level, scree and so forth. And if you screw it up, you either have to live with it...

Hey Andy...greetings from about as far away one can get but still be in Canada! Check out the flooring section of the forum - there are numerous posts in there covering prepping of slabs for epoxy, and discussions of the merits of different brands and types of epoxy coatings. You'll definitely...

Is he not getting an activation email, or he just can't sign in? If it's the latter, maybe he needs to turn on cookies?

Heh...JohnZ is a hard act to follow! Here's my carhole...3 Beetles, 1 VStar and a raft of junk yet to be sorted and organized. Also finally getting my books and stuff setup in the office space after having them in boxes for too many years.

She might disagree, but it seems to me your priorities are in the right order! :lol_hitti

How does it look right now? Mine is darned messy is how it looks right now! Are those fenders off a '70 VW, Ramblur?

Just an observation here... Some of the guys have questioned using a myspace place as your 'home base'. I'll take that a step further, and suggest that people aren't likely to look at you as a serious contender when the site you use to represent yourself has bare asses with birthday greetings...

Did anybody get the blade? I decided to submit my request for one, but haven't seen or heard anything.

Blasphemer! Nothing is 'too nice for a garage'! :shocking:

I did these ones in my garage...very basic, similar scheme to the ones Finley sketched out:

Doesn't look familiar to me, either.

Looks like the reflection of an incandescent bulb giving it that golden glow...

I've got a 125 amp panel in my garage that doesn't have a door nor provision for a door. Likewise in the house, the heating subpanel has exposed breakers as well. Might be a good theory/practice, but I don't think (at least in my area) that it's a requirement to have a door on the panels.

I, too, maintain a large and active forum as well as manage an opensource code project while living with real world obligations to wife, two young children, ongoing home renovations doing all the work myself and working fulltime...so I understand that time for forum maintenance/development can...
