Very good, thank you guys... i am using a cheapie Harbor freight 90 Amp Flux Wire Welder, just to learn - which may be a bad idea in retrospect. And I must confess i didn't even know the mask lens has a shade # - I thought it adjusted depending on the brightness of the light source. Once I can...

Hoping this is not too OT... I think one of the many reasons for my crappy welds is that I cannot see what I am doing.. the $20 auto-darkening mask I picked up at harbor freight goes *very* dark the second my mig tip hits metal, but I feel like it stays too dark too long.... On the quick tack...

Regular IKEA cabinet for CDs I think. Works great because it's not very deep, and it is cheap !

Here are some... Same disclaimer, haven't had time to do much with the space yet. The new roof (terrace floor) is obviously flat and coated with a gazillion layers of a 2 stage rubberized paint that is used commercially on parking lots. That rubber coating goes up the wall several inches...

The answer is 2.. One modern(ish), and one classic 912. The other one (also a 912) is my wife's. She likes showing off that she can drive a temperamental stick shift and has good taste...

The End! Total cost $32000 - putting it out there as promised, as information to all... That includes a terrace / railing above the garage, a new door opening upstairs leading there, some extra stuff (paint which I was initially gonna do myself, water supply on the deck, relocating the water...

Imagine how limited my "me-Time" is with a 2 week old baby. Divide that by 2 ;-) I found the time to scrape off the junk on the concrete and lay down some Racedeck. Yes, I'm short on edging, here and across the entire right side (by the dust blowing fan) as you can see, maybe, on this...

Run of the mill home depot diamond plate Neons. $40+ ea. Forgot the brand, I'll have to go dumpster diving...

*Many* times ! In fact I have a gas tankless already for the upstairs feed, which is great. Unfortunately this big ol'unit ( it's the one for downstairs only) is on the other side of the building and the gas company will not extend the gas line to that side of the house. I've asked, twice. I've...

Ooh, a blow/**** combo. clever ;-) I will give that a shot, thanks !

Major milestone... I've moved in... I'll need to move out again to clean more dust, paint more, move in tools and workbench and put the floor in, but for now moving in is quite useful !!! You can now see what I meant about "not quite 2 cars wide, not quite 2 cars long". It's certainly 2 car...

One word: Stucco ! You mean there used to be a patio there? ;-) That was the last big job. Now it's little stuff... Relocating the water heater, railing on the garage ceiling (a.k.a. the terrace), + paint.... Then I can have some fun GJ style, racedeck flooring, wall deco, bring the...

All mudded, sanded down, ready for stucco on the wall that had the opening... They went overboard and made the storage nice, just wood was fine with me... No complaints.

Drywall.... And a new baby ! Kid #2 did not wait till the end of the project... That complicates drywall sanding and the like, and royally pisses off mommy... ;-) Funny how drywall shrinks the space, looks smaller... Funny how the new baby shrinks my sleep time, too ;-)

Just placed my order ! Very good customer service, I might add... And I love the GJ discount !!! Results in a week or so. I might get this beforeI'm actually ready to put it on the floor ;-)

And now we've got a box... tons of storage for plastic containers stacked 2 high...To keep the Mrs happy and the junk away from my sight.

Here is the actual framing of the windows. It won't just be a patch of drywall on the house side, more like a whole section over it. Garage side, there's foam around the outlets, insulation in the ceiling, and yet another inspection was passed successfully. I can't get a good picture that...

That's very tactful of you ;-) No, no... The windows are actually getting framed around today, and will then be covered over with sheetrock on both sides. I was surprised they were leaving them in there, but apparently that's a good idea from a thermal standpoint. it'll be all clean. I can't...

strips for drywall, electrical outlets, one 220V outlet in the works with a dedicated 50 amps circuit with a new box. No mention was made of extra cost, period. I'm liking this GC more and more. Really good guy... 3 Overhead double neon lights, 2 was good so I figured 3 was better.. All wired...

#1 as well. The others look like you are playing space invaders ;-) Hey, now, that's a great idea actually ;-) Personally I'd use 4 tile squares for a bigger, less busy pattern too...
