why yes I was a few years back, Had my 2000 F350 dually, then my 2001 (still have) F150 7700 "Harley" gold with the black flames and now another 2003 7700 F150. See, the Fords runs deep into my blood. I also read you have your Grandpa's and special things from your late Dad. Really amazing and...

Thanks Wayne, Well a little more sanding and I will be applying the primer coat tomorrow,Sunday.....HOPEFULLY. Have to buy the primer tomorrow. 2 cans, one for the ceiling and the other tinted for the walls change of color at the last minute. I think with a white ceiling, white walls and white...

hey Carl, your getting alot done. I have to laugh about your comment that things are going slowly forward. I hear ya, we are on the melting side too, 4-6 degrees C for daytime high. I managed to get the sanding of the second coat of drywall compound done. hopefully prime and paint this weekend...

well we are on the good side of freezing today and yesterday so I started the drywall compound 2nd coat. I just love sanding in freezing cold and running the bare hand accross cold walls:headscrat Note to mental self, next time be sure to install furnace ASAP. so here are some pictures, try...

Little update,.............. ol wizard, you are right, the garage is sealed tight and the concrete is still venting. The propane heater for temporary use doesn't help either. Trying to get as much done as possible. As for a heater, yes Natural gas 45,000BTU this spring. Yes Wayne, the cabinets...

I really love those massive trusses. Great progress, as for humidity, I am at 94% but that is mostly cause of the new concrete. Rob/HBT

Dave, kinda missing your updates, anything new happening? Rob/HBT

I too use the storage containers. Mine are Plano and my OCD side says to use only one size so they are all uniform and neat :spit: I did this about a month ago, both sides of the rolling cart I call MERV (mobile equipment repair vehicle)

not to steal from the thread each set has 5 or 6 lights for each 15 amp breaker. I have 3 seperate circuits adding the lights to 16 recessed lights each circuit is controlled by a switch. sorry Scott for my question in your build thread. As for the paint scheme, the one on the left is really...

I too went with an 8' wall, built my own trusses used pressure treated skids. 2X6 fllor on 16" centers walls too are on 16" centers and so are the trusses. this way it makes for a very sturdy shed. Nothing worse than trying to strengthen it once all up. I have to build a ramp to it this summer...

hey Scuba, the cabinets are pretty good overall. The ones in the Fort were 59 and not 69 bucks :dunno: The nailing strip on the top and bottom of the cabinets are about 6" wide. That is great if you have preblocked the walls in behind the drywall, it also increases the strength of the cabinet...

well a little update, started to tape and mud the drywall. First time so lets see how it works out...... Went and bought a hawk, 12" mud trowel, corner trowel, fiber tape, mixer for the drill. Have to buy the corner beads soon too. Also tapped most of the ceiling. Just one spot left but don't...

yup, if the pad is new, that is most of the problem. I put a hydrometer/barometer/themometer trio in the garage. Moisture is at 100% and the moisture is freezing to the door

I know this is an old thread but I use this for my drill bits http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/PowerToolAccessories/DrillBitsSetsAccessories/PRD~0543692P/Mastercraft%252B230-piece%252BTitanium-Coated%252BDrill%252BBit%252BSet.jsp?locale=en Rob/HBT

Thanks Scott:thumbup: ya the clock is MINT just a slight dust coving that I will wait to clean off. Don't want to just dry wipe it. so here is the remote light from the 3800 lift master. This is with 2 60 watt regular bulbs. I love the motion sensor, just walk into the garage and it is on...
