    Above 1200 Sq/FT Swanny's Garage Expansion Project

    I’m very happy with the 70th anniversary Z06. It hit 7,500 miles and I took it to a dealership I hadn’t visited before for the mandatory 7,500 mile transmission service. Now, this service is covered by Chevrolet if done in the first 2 years after the “in service” date or 7,500 miles. Although I...

    Thanks, bud!! She has been a pretty good sport about all this - in fact, she's the one who ordered the picture with the EMT's and ambulance personnel! However, she isn't aware that I have posted the entire journey here! I don't think I'd be in tooooooooooo much trouble, though! Cam, I cannot...

    Making my 70 El Camino a show car

    Don, what a great job you have done on this, especially all the custom touches. I love them all!! Can't wait to see your wheel/tire selection. I'm sure it will greatly compliment what you have already done!

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Little Garage in the Big Woods

    Sorry you're having tire pressure issues on your trip. I experienced the same thing on our trip through Yellowstone. Fortunately, I had one of the Airmoto pumps which did a great job! It's an essential add on every trip from now on! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094DMH7ZM?tag=atomicindus08-20

    I'm a little smarter than that, but not by a lot! She has beat herself up enough over this!!!

    Tuesday morning we're up bright and early (neither of us regularly sees this hour other than from the insides of our eyelids!!) and out the door before our appointed time. Before going to bed, I checked the gate for our flight. The terminal we were departing from is know for having longer TSA...

    Well, it has certainly been a week, and not in an altogether good way! There has been plenty of good, don't get me wrong, but the trips and stumbles have taken us off course, literally - more on that to come. The final drive home from Wichita was uneventful, for the most part. We just had to...

    New Poster Building a 24' x 34' Detached for Car & Antique Tractor Restoration - NEED IDEAS!

    Looks like good progress - I like the wall finishes. Appears the nearly finished product varies quite a bit from the Sketchup drawing you posted earlier. Have a new drawing so we can visualize setup?

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Overcoming Good-Deal-Itis One Project at a Time

    Sterling, I did a similar thing with night lights, but used these - https://a.co/d/gmhY5hP Happy enough with them I put 4 in the house and another 3 in the lake house!! A little more expensive solution, but works well for my needs.

    Happy to do it, just following in the footsteps of others who have done the same, particularly @zmotorsports. I have preached the beauty or our country to my wife for years. She just hasn’t had the opportunity to travel it as much as I have. On the other hand, she is drawn to Europe for its...

    Thanks, Cam. Each transformer is 12v 3.0A output. Appreciate your offer, but it works fine with 2 switches as is.

    Before we left on our trip, I got an email from the National Corvette Museum that they were offering LED backlit signs for all the various Corvette generations. So, I bought 6! These things are flat on the back, so I had to come up with a mounting solution that would allow for power cord...

    We finally made it home yesterday afternoon, after 20 days, 13 states, new friends, countless memories, 4,790 miles and 21.5 mpg out of the 640 hp Caddy!! This was all virgin territory for Lori and I got to revisit places I haven’t been in way over 40 years!! The downside is I have one beyond...

    Monday, our only objective was to make it part way home - Wichita, KS to be exact. However, I wanted to make a stop in Lincoln, NE to visit the Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed. This is a 3-story museum dedicated to all things American speed related. I was told about 70% of the...

    Sunday was a sleep in/lazy day. We ventured into Omaha for their farmers market, then had lunch at the Innerline food court. We then went downtown to experience their waterfront park. It’s a very nice space. I was lazy about taking pics, however. We finished the day with dinner at Mahogany Prime...

    Mike, I had a similar issue with the AMP Research steps on my Jeep. It seemed to be solved with a little WD-40, so a binding issue, not electrical. It has reoccurred a couple of times, but seems to go away with additional lubrication. Fingers crossed! I'm a little jealous of your Saturday...

    On Saturday, we got up and hit the small diner, Darcy's Café, we had discovered the day before (www.darcyscafend.com). While the place is very small, the food was terrific and we were able to get in both days without any wait. We weren't disappointed with our breakfasts - the Sioux omelet and...
