That's actually a fairly popular method of adding square footage to some of the older houses around here. When the house is on a smaller lot, and expanding outwards isn't an option, many people go down. The typical method is to lift the house, just like a house mover does in preparation. The...

If in doubt, err on the side of safety. Sometimes you only get one chance to learn that lesson...

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing more... Keep Buggin'

I'd be worried about the lateral leverage it could put on your jack arm...its not really designed for that. Interesting concept, but I think I'll stick with the 'naysayers' on this one...

Hallelujah brutha! :beer:

I figured out the depth I considered my minimum acceptable (30'), then my minimum acceptable width, then figured out how much larger I could make it without losing my wife's support or too much backyard. I settled for 30 x 30, now I'm prepping her for building another bay on one end at some...

Doing a google search for SCM L'invincible R9 turns up a few hits, including an auction site which wouldn't let me view photos (maybe because of the firewall I'm behind). It's a Router, but I can't tell you anything more than that...

I've been very happy with the Customer Service at my local Canadian Tire. My advice would have been to go down and ask as there's nothing to be lost in the attempt...but you've already done that ;-) It's good to hear they were willing to help you out on that...it was definitely a margin call!

Thanks for the comments, all. It have mostly been fun getting it to this stage, and I definitely found a lot of ideas and good advice everywhere in the board. Progress is stalled for the next few weeks unfortunately, but sooooo close to being done. Have 2 out of 4 cars in there, plus a Yamaha...

I was looking through your site yesterday - very nice work!

It means that you will always appear offline, even when you're logged into the forum.

With the wall being shared to the house, I'd be wondering how much extra noise will be heard inside when ypu pound on anything...

Nice looking garage. Great to see yet another aircooled fan around here.

I like it! Reckon I'll do something similar when I pour some of the outside concrete.

Two words: Halogen Lights! I picked up two double head halogen lights for less than $50 apiece, with something like 500W bulbs in each head, and used those to illuminate my garage. The dark didn't hold me back at all last winter...or maybe I was just insanely obsessed as I worked out there in...

Nice job! I see you found the same "Cars" decal package I'm using in my garage. :-)

I have to agree - it's quite refreshing to see Chevy parts showing that much respect for Ford. :lol_hitti

Pictures are never a bad idea...sometimes the trained eye can pick out significant items which a verbal description misses entirely...

Why bother clearing out the old junk? You'll just accumulate more **** to fill that void! ;-P I don't know if smaller is the answer, but building with an eye to allowing future expansions. Having a central area dedicated to workspace with wings for storage sounds like a good idea; having...

I'm not sure... Is there any link there by which you can contact the webmaster or forum administrator? That would likely get you the quickest solution. That, or create a new account...
