Yep, most of this stuff was **** that clearly got boxed in a hurry when we were moving. One box that I opened contained a 6pk of paper towel rolls & a broken clothes iron. Seriously? WTH! it's been taking up shelf space for a year now. I know for a fact we have ran out of paper towels more than...

I scattered cotton balls soaked with mint oil in every corner of my garage & threw some in my attic. All the rats that were hanging out in there that we didn't know about moved on after that. Plus I had a nice minty fresh smelling garage for a bit.

Spent the last two days pulling boxes off the shelves looking for man cave decor that I boxed up when we moved a year ago. I managed to eliminate a bunch of useless **** we had. Lord only knows why we kept it. I added a dolly to the bottom of the cabinet that houses my old atari 2600, rearranged...

For what it's worth, my decision came down to the idea that I may not live in this house forever even though I told my wife we were never moving again because I'm done with that mess. I decided on the locking tile route. If I ever do actually move, it goes with me. If I don't need it or can't...

Everyone I know here says they are "wrenching" on their cars. Just out of curiosity, do they say they are "spanning" their cars on the other side of the great pond? :dunno: My wife is from Beaumont & I'm from North Texas. They call the service road along the side of the highway a "feeder"...

The 44" box +the side cart still come out about $200 bucks cheaper than the 56" & are about the same width when you put therm together. If you need more space, you can always buy the side cabinet later. I bought the HF 44" just over two weeks ago & mine sounds just like yours. The detents are...

What gauge wire is on the heater now & how long is the cord that is on it?

Thanks everyone for the replies. With that & scouring GJ for epoxy processes, I think I have decided the locking tile route is best when I can garner the funds down the road for it & other projects we have planned for the house. I would have had to do the epoxy in stages whether I went DIY &...

I sent you a PM before I noticed you gave me Ashley's email. I will resend my response & questions to her. Thanks!

How long does it normally take to get a quote from them when you submit it online? I got a email saying they were preparing a quote, but there was no pricing in it.

LOL, great retrieval story! We have a guy locally that we call "The Extractor" that is well versed in hauling out vehicles in that situation. He had my buggy & my old 62 chevy both loaded in less than half an hour on one trailer & both had all 4 wheels locked up. Was the bus originally Sealing...

Great thread! I love the TEXACO theme. My wife's grandfather would like this thread more than me. Texaco stuff is popular with my in-laws since they are from Beaumont where the company started. Most of them at some point worked for Texaco too. I will definitely be following the progress on your...

Very nice!

One side of the garage is for working on cars, restoring & storing my dune buggy & the other side other than my workbench is mostly man cave space. I also use it as my 2nd home office when the weather is nice. I like the idea of the race deck for the speedy installation, but not sure how well...

We've been in our house nearly a year & I'm just now getting the garage in decent shape. I need to paint it, but the floor has been bugging me. It really looks crappy. Most of the floor looks like it was painted a battleship grey which isn't bad & one spot was painted white over the grey. I...

Very cool!

Hello from another Texan. I'm in Fort Worth. Nice clean garage! I'm loving that old bike. Super clean for it's age.

You could put cement backer board & tile over it. If you put wood or anything combustible behind the stove, NFPA safety guidelines say you would then need a thermal barrier installed with a 1" gap at minimum from the wood surface & then the stove should be no closer than 12" from that. Love the...

Not much of an update. Just been organizing my tools here & there lately. Don't get much garage time with the ankle biters running around in the house. Normally I have to wait till we put them to bed. I did get a couple of goodies recently though. Picked up a few metal signs at hobby lobby to go...

Looks good! I love that Blue R32. Good body style. I'm a VW fan. Mostly old VW's though. Only v-dub I have right now though is a dune buggy project. Subscribing so I can see how the progress goes.
