Count me in as one of those that would love the history on this and how you came across it. This is the car guy equivalent of El Dorado.

Thanks for the kind words, the house was a real challenge to get built properly, we had to stay on top of the builder every step of the way. I'll take a few photos this weekend, I travel a lot (250,000 air miles annually) but have some time off coming up where I hope to make some progress...

You have made a lot of progress in a short time, makes me feel really lazy about not doing more to finish out my space (we moved in 2 and a half years ago). Keep it up!

The Spray Foam is key, we did it on our house when we built it 2 years ago and it has been great--the house is noticeably quieter and more comfortable than our neighbors (cooler in summer and warmer in winter). I'll see if I can find out who did ours.

That is a bit disturbing about the apple slices. I wouldn't eat them...and might go so far as to suggest that the fries might be a healthier option vs. the "better living thru chemistry" apples

Thanks for the kind words, space is always at a premium no matter how much you have especially in the garage! I'm always looking for better ways to store things neatly as a result of my being a bit OCD and I love nothing more than to stretch a buck.

Great thread with lots of neat storage solutions, nicely done and it motivates me to start straightening up the garage my wife parks in as she is a big fan of eliminating clutter in the house by moving stuff into the garage.

We are all LED here--lots of high ceilings and my days of OSHA violation ladder rigs are behind me. We have Utilitech bulbs in all of our can lights (we must have 80 of them) and have only lost one since we moved into the house in July of 2014. In floor lamps, bathroom vanity lights and our...

...and he'll have some sort of unfortunate industrial accident. A really unfortunate one.

Welcome neighbor (we are up in Lucas).

Looking good! BTW--what is the siding made of? Is that wood or asbestos? You may want to have it tested. There is no danger if it is intact and sound but it's better to know since you are doing a significant remodel.

That is great news, congrats on that win. Have been enjoying your thread and really admire your attitude in a tough situation. Keep at it!

Love the MCM style--keep the pictures coming.

Hats off to you and your wife on an amazing renovation. We did two major house rehabs before building this one but nothing on the scale of what you have done. Looking forward to seeing more updates as you move into the home stretch (pun sort of intended).

Good call on the spray foam, you will love it. It makes the space quiet and draft free. Keep the updates and photos coming.

Keep at it man, if you can survive building a custom house everything else is easy.

The weather radio with an alert siren is useful if you cannot hear the municipal sirens or are in an area that does not have sirens. Backup batteries for a cell phone would be useful as well--just remember to keep them charged.

Looks great, wish I had a bit more width and depth on my garages, wife takes up one two car bay by herself to park her SUV. Looks like you have a full basement too, loves me some basement but we don't have those here in TX.

That E24, wow! One of my favorite BMWs of all time.

Looking good and starting to look like a garage! Good to see another Texan on here, howdy from DFW.
