Oh, and the 2k budget. Eek. I don't know, the project drug out so long and other ones were going also, so I don't know. I know I ended up with around $900 just on the floor, and a few hundred just in wiring. I would guestimate that I am around $3200, and also around 200 hours of my time...

Wow, crazy its been a year! Thanks! The main thing CL allowed me to do was buy things that I otherwise couldn't as the lighting is way overkill and all commercial. I easily hung up $1500 worth of the fixtures (13 total) for cheap, and the cabinets for work bench and Cman storage cabinets...

Until I get under the deck storage, a few unwanted things will stay in the garage. (lawnmower and table saw) Also storing a huge Pella door through the winter for now... Tile thershold at the door.

Finished another Craigslist project. Bought this wooden tailgate some guy had for a 30's Chevy Truck... Framed, hinged, blah blah. It is my new folding workbench...

Whew. Finished installing all the L and C channel in the soffits. Found an alum supply place that sells in 16 ft pieces, which was great as my backwall is 15' 8" of soffit. Headed to home depot in the morning for some fiberglass board to pop into the channels, then I can put all my stuff...

4 months since last update? oops. I am finishing the soffits with some C-channel I picked up in 16 ft pieces and sliding pocket doors. Almost completely done with everything...

My sears had 4 of the 6 pcs. Rang up for $20 each. I was going to pick up 1 set and some clearance starret blades for $1.97, but no one at cashier desk to ring me up. Lady walked by and didn't even say anything. Just left it all on the counter and left. I can go across the street to HFT...

I got samples of racedeck and garagedeck. ended up going with porcelain PEI 5 tile from home depot. USA tile for $1.64 a sq ft in "granite color" in 3 weeks I have done things on it that I know would mark up a plastic tile. Drug things, dropped things, not a mark. If you are planning on...

I need to finish up the last bit of tiling and stairs, grout, tile the baseboard, and paint wood around the garage doors. Some how there is still a long list of things to do. Need closet doors and shelves also, and finish hooking up Air Compressor (it was moved to basement)

Took an evening off to go get one the cars.... quick picture i took last night. Still need to grout!

laid another 160 sq ft last night....now I need to rip out the wooden step and pour cement, then finish tiling. The "kick" under the entry door looks terrible after only 1 year since its drywall. Looking forward to tiling it and making it more durable.

Now: Workbench with mini fridge and cabinet doors installed 200 sq ft to go!

Painting/lights/workbench all complete. Time to start tiling! Hoping to get it all down this weekend.

So, I have a box full of Cman tools that I paid a pretty penny for, USA made. When something breaks, its not going to be acceptable to me to receive a Chinese replacement. If you break something in a kobalt set and Lowes doesn't have an equal, you get a merchandise credit (ie - break a ratchet...

What size tile spacers? Looks well done and tight. Great work.

Oh, and umm, how do you people drink up there? Bars want $6+ for a beer. I go to a place here that has 10 ounce PBR's for $0.25 til midnight on the weekends.

I have vacationed in Canada for 4-5 weeks a year my whole like. UNREAL how much more $ everything is up there. Example: Wanted to mulch a flower bed that my Mom has at their cottage for mothers day. ****** mulch was $6.99 a bag in town. What the hell? I didn't see a shortage of trees...

Are you going to tile over the step? I currently have 1 step going into my house that is wooden, I want to tile the step when I do the floor and and a back "kick plate" as the current drywall looks terrible under the threshold. Im thinking I need to pour a step to tile it correctly...so yours...

Weekend of spackling and sanding, couple days left...stuff isnt drying too fast with all the rain and humidity. Bought the border tile at HD today for $1.50 sq ft. Also 5 gallons of paint...everything sounds fun except the remaining sanding

Update finally! Been on vacation and busy, so progress slowed...hoping to primer this weekend so I can get started on tiling! Ceiling is sanded smooth, just need to primer and paint, hang new lights. Soffits/Lights and right corner closet. 24" bifold door and can still fit GTO in. 3/4" red...
