Congrats on the new triple! Regarding walls, you could install FRP sheeting over the top of the OSB. More expensive than drywall, but easy install and it cleans up easily.

A few updates.... 1) I moved my pool table to the garage. I got this table from grandpa in 1997. He traded a cow for it over 90 years ago. Not a fancy table, but a nice old Brunswick. 2) My son no longer uses his pedal car so I am converting it to a light to go over the table. 3) A...

Shell sign up w/ back-lights. I need to add the conduit/switch (currently on a temp plug).

The cabinet looks awesome. You may want to order a spare parts bin, in case someone finds a way to break one. I have had friends in my garage break hinges off little storage boxes, and container got crushed as someone was letting the lift down. Of course, when you have a back up, you will...

Lunker - I picked up another sign from your area today - Dee & Talcott. I plan to mount / backlight similar to the 76 sign. @LaneRover - The wagon would be a sweet pit vehicle. Who knows, perhaps we will stumble across one. @polexican23 - I need to brush up on RotN 2.... not as...

Coming up with a theme for Lemons is tough..... so many car related themes (smokey and the bandit, gulf livery...) have been done over and over. As a child of the 80's this was natural (our pit costumes were tri lam cardigans). Easy for a team event. For the next race we may make some whip...

Cool - if I'm in your area and in a hurry I hit Brandy's, but if time allows a couple of the Italian places are perfect.

Thanks for checking it out! My wife and I got married and Harlem and Talcott, so I am familiar with the area - some good restaurants in the area. The Mog Cabin is about 5 miles north on Harlem. Also, the guy I bought the 76 sign from was at Harlem/oakton. I love Chicago, but it was -4 this...

Glad you are in, and enjoying. Your place shows like a model. Given all the brain damage you had to go through with the county and how well you are showcasing the finished product here I hope the developer is extra nice to you. They are lucky to have you.

Greg - I love your space, and the idea of car neighbors. I was curious how the developer was doing? The website for The Place made it seem like there are the majority of the units still avail? I would have thought phase 1 would have sold quickly given the success of similar developments in...

Thanks - my choices in cars span a number of manufacturers and several decades..... I think the Grand Wagoneer is the perfect size SUV. Feels spacious inside, comfy rear seats, but not a monster to park. I am afraid of all the salt on Illinois roads, so the Waggy does not get out much this...

Nice progress. Good call on the new concrete. I like the Auburn posters... the first auction I every bought a car at was an Auburn auction - fun way to spend Labor Day.

A few more updates: Work ON the garage: Nothing major - I hardwired the 76 Sign with a wall switch and some conduit I have been looking on CL for a stack of old gym lockers. If I can find the right ones I will give them a fresh coat of paint, and then use them to store car covers during...

Looking good! I think you will really get your monies worth out of that fan - especially in Florida. Regarding the floors, I think polished concrete or an epoxy would like very nice. I will be jealous of your loft, I have a 30 x50 condo (outside of Chicago), and I wish my office was...

I have been making a mess in the Mog Cabin.... I pulled the old engine from my E46 lemons racer. Last weekend I dropped the replacement engine in. I still have to re-install the transmission, reinstall cooling and hook the fuel back up - perhaps I can knock that out this weekend. I also...

Looks Great! I like your line up of cars. I have an '86 944 Turbo, and have had a number of Boxsters and 911s in the past.

I appreciate the no front plate dilemma.... I ran without for years, but once every 18 months or so I would get stopped. Now I have them on most of my cars, but certainly wish I didn't. But just don't want to give anyone a reason to stop me. Ironically, for years (when I didn't have front...

I was able to hang the 76 sign. I installed 3 LED tubes behind, looks pretty good light up. I need to go back and hard wire the lights with a switch and some conduit, but it is up and works with the temp plug. I think I will go back and light the 66 sign. In the meantime, I have started...

Time for my biennial update..... 1) The Unimog has been sold. As fun as it was, it was just too impractical for my suburban setting. I think the winning bidder on BAT hadn't really meant to win. Although he paid reasonably quick, it took many months for his shipper to pick up the truck...

Greg - sorry for you troubles.... I have been following - these spaces interest me. I have a commercial condo (but half of my developement is just car guys like me, no business). They were built in the 70s and the one guy that touched his bathroom a couple years ago had to make it Ada. Given...
