Hi Cork, I've had the racedeck tile in the original garage for two years now and keeping it clean is not a problem. I just use a damp mop on it (really tuff grime comes right up with "Simple Green"). The only fluid that seems to bother it is transmission fluid. I spilled some and it got under...

Yup, FM "Ubercharged' (Whipple twin screw for those not familiar). http://www.customfurniture.net/ati2de/ for the whole story. 255 RWHP (corrected); 270 (uncorrected). Very very fun car. :evil: Rod

Actually the peak is closer to 18'; and yes the only access is through the original garage. I'm completely landlocked by other houses so this was my only option. From the street side you cannot tell that this addition is there. Next up is to redo the "drive-thru" garage in the same colors...

Just about ready to move in. I'm doing the finish work and have the window and door trim to do yet as well as paint the outside. The hoist won't be here until early May. Yes, this will be a working garage (both the cars and woodworking). Rod

CadyRidah, I've thought of something similar, but thought there might be a problem with overspray drying on the plastic and the flaking off just when I didn't want it to. Of course I mostly spray lacquer on furniture and you know how fast that dries. Any problems with that? I see you are in...

86swb, That's a great 31! It's also pretty amazing that you're the third generation owner, have you got a 4th generation to assume the ownership? That would really be something! As for the new addition? It's in the home stretch. Got the sheet-rock hung & taped today (it should be complete and...

Sandoval, Could you elaborate on how much of a difference there is in the pattern/texture between Race Decking & Costco. (photo would be great). I currently have Racedeck down and will be adding more to it in an addition we are completing. I would be connecting the two flooring surfaces...

Very nice and you did a great job on the cabinets. I built furniture professionally for 25 years (recently retired) you are to be commended. Rod

Out here in Oregon the firring strips are commonly used in place of Plywood for the sub roofing when installing shakes. My understanding is that the roof breathes better. Probably has something to do with all that moisture we get. As for the speed of the construction, yes they have picked up...

Got the french doors in, electrician today, sheetrock on the weekend. Rod full log here: http://www.customfurniture.net/new/

Not really cabinets in the standard form, but here is a sample of my esisting garage with a red theme. The new addition will have "regular" cabinets in the same red/white design. Rod

Getting taller Scissor trusses have arrived and are installed. Next week are the shakes, Electrician, and insulation. Sheetrock should go on the week following, then I can start painting. the ACL single post lift is supposed to be shipped somewhere around the week of the 10th. Rod Full...

Yup, THAT is a totally magnificent garage, in fact IT was the inspiration for the french doors I decided on adding to my new addition (underway as we speak). Thanks for sharing. Rod ( shop construction page: http://www.customfurniture.net/new/ )

Walls are up!! Thanks guy's for the cost per sq ft comparisons. Today a five man crew showed up! they put up the three walls and were out of here by 2:30 in the afternoon. If I get the order right, the 1st Photo shows the south wall with the openings for the French doors and flanking...

Got my first and seconds mixed up. The 1st photo is actually the 2nd I was referring to in the above post.

We finally got some sunshine, so the floor has been poured, lumber delivered and framing will start in the morning. The two 'pipes" embeded in the floor are for a dust collector and a floor 220 outlet. The "dust pipe" is a 4" that goes outside the building and will connect up to a 4 bag...

Got it work this time.

Here's another of the 31. The one below it is of my wife on her way to work (look familliar?). Now I'm in trouble! :eek: Rod

The 31 coupe is the one I still have, I sold the 29 a couple of years ago. The Wheels/ tires on the 31 are off the 29 (I just switched them to see what the WW's would look like on the coupe. the 29 had 21" wheels while the 31 had 19" That explains why the coupe is sitting so high. This spring I...

Just an update. We have started the addition, excavation is done, footings poured and the stem walls will be poured today. I'll try and keep a running progress report going, but in the meantime I've got a log of events here: http://www.customfurniture.net/new Rod
