    50 by 60 design and layout... 48 by 68 build

    Nice B5! A4, S4? Lots of engine work? How do you like it compared to the E46? Oh and nice garage BTW. Like, really really nice. Now it just needs more tools :)

    Barry's 18x20 Garage

    The kids will be forced to eat KD for a few months but with winter knocking on the door we need to sort it out sooner rather than later. The price including installation and tax is just under $2k which actually isn't as bad as I was expecting. I know I could get a non-insulated for probably half...

    Barry's 18x20 Garage

    With the kids in school and the day off, I can finally update this thread a bit. A couple weeks ago I made a simple mount for my quick change tool holders (for the lathe). Mounted on the wall: This side of the garage was starting to get a bit messy: Today I managed to tidy it up a bit...

    Unfortunately photobucket isn't permitting 3rd party hosting anymore. I'll have to find the time to go back and restore the links using a different picture site.

    The Front to Back Four Car

    Love what you've done so far. I have been tossing around ideas for my benches in the garage and the red/black is growing on me. Just might have to steal that idea from you. I need a 4 car garage in my life. Like, really bad.

    A few more pictures. Nothing too exciting, hopefully I can find the time this summer to give it a small overhaul.

    Barry's 18x20 Garage

    Well the update I wanted to post in December never happened. Yesterday was supposed to be 12+ degrees so I planned with the family to take a layer of winter off the garage floor. Turned out to be only ~2 degrees but I went out anyway. I only managed to mop the floor and tidy up a bit, but it was...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    Many thanks again! A lot of work invested in both spaces between kids, wife, job, etc but it's starting to finally come together. And then the other day my wife said she wanted to move to bigger property :eyecrazy: We're in a townhouse and the house itself is plenty big but she's used to the...

    Barry's 18x20 Garage

    Hey thanks a lot! Not a lot has changed in the garage except it's a bit cleaner. My big plan to refurb the garage last summer then this summer... got trumped by other things, but NEXT summer I'm seriously going to try and address some of the "list" for the garage. I should probably post up some...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    Another area I've been tackling is the utility room which happens to be attached to the man cave. This little room contains the utility sink, furnace, water heater, freezer, electrical panel, and all our general storage. I built a good amount of shelving for rubbermaid containers and used an old...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    The past couple of weeks have been very productive for cleaning, purging, and getting things put away. I have a number of other fun projects ready to start but not until everything else is sorted out. My dad had an Ikea shelf he wasn't using and it happened to fit perfectly above the computer...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    The computer tower under the workbench is not the one running the monitor, it's a tower for the wife that I need to get running. The tower I use is in the storage room behind the workbench, and I run the wires through the wall. I made a little cutout for the wires to pass through. The piece...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    I've been moving the big items around trying to find the best layout, and I think this one is the best (for now..). I had the big door/work surface right in the middle (90* to it's current position) but it made the room feel crowded. I also had the tool box turned 90* facing the main workbench...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    I attempted to finish the mudding but progress was very slow. I called an expert and he finished the job in 2 days and made it look like a living room. Once the mudding was done, I: - Painted the walls - Painted the floor - Baseboards and door trim - Finished the trim/detail on the work bench -...

    Barry's Basement Man Cave

    Hey guys, For the past several years I've been juggling many of life's interesting challenges and at the same time trying to squeeze in fun projects here and there. Prior to marriage/kids (~2010) I finished the garage (see sig) and in 2012 I started poking away at the unfinished basement. About...

    Etching concrete indoors

    I just did my basement floor, etched and scrubbed, then mop and bucket many many times. Thought I was good then I tested it with litmus paper and I was still acidic. Neutralized with a baking soda / water mix using mop and bucket again. Got the pH around 6.5-7 prior to prime / paint, as per the...
