Totally agree with Real Hot Schitt. Craigslist is a great place to get cabinets. With a little work and patience and even less money you can get some thing really great. these are my cabinets in my shop I have about 100 hours invested in rebuilding and refinishing the cabinets and about...

I totally agree with the over hang and the steeper roof pitch. the other thing I just added to mine is a covered cantilevered porch roof. I have wanted to do it and so far everyone that has seen it says it has added a lot to the looks of my shop. I just did this addition over the last 2 weeks...

Looks like alot of fun, that is what I would like to do when I get my 1198, Some track days. Always had sport bikes until this Harley, always wanted one. Had it for several years now I'm ready for another sport bike. Kinda the "been there done that" syndrome. Don't know when the Duc will come...

OK Charlie, I am jealous, I have a nice Harley but have been wanting to sell it and get a new Ducati 1198, Now you show up with a ducati WTF! it just ain't right! lol

The ceiling height is the one thing I was wondering if any one was going to mention. I was lucky enough to be able to recycle a unit. I have a 100k BTU 90+ furnace, the heat works great but the only problem I had was all my heat went to the ceiling. Before I installed 2 ceiling fans I would be...

I have been working on a set of cabinets for about the last 5 or 6 weeks. (very slow going, weekends only) I kept watching craigslist for a set of cabinets from someone who had remodeled or something, I looked for probably about 8 - 10 weeks. I kept seeing cabinets for $400, $500, $600, I was...

Re: Garage turned obsesion This weekend: I have finished the rest of my plumbing, got all my doors and drawer faces on built 2 drawers from scratch, and a few other loose ends I had going. I am receiving 130' of 1" Ash lumber tomorrow and will be riping it into 2" strips to make a 2" thick...

I definitely is my own, My wife said we needed a "BIGGER" and "better" dog house for our boys. We have 2 Rotweilers that weigh in at about 130# each. The floor of the dog house is 4' x 8' and the roof is 6' x 10'. it was made from scraps I had left over from my shop build. (My first little...

Seems to me after reading quite a few of these post there is a trend going: If a HF tool has moving parts if has a great likelihood of failing if it is a singular parted tool ie: pry par, parallel blocks, hammers etc. they pass pretty easily. Also the more complex the mechanism within the tool...

This looks like a great idea! and relatively simple to do even after the fact! I am looking to Adding a lift for my motorcycles and 4 wheeler. The install looks really good. Thanks for the Ideas. Joe

If you think 30 x 40 is big enough... double it! I have 30 x 40 and it seemed big @ the time I started it now it continues to get smmaller. I am looking at adding another 20 x 20 un insulated unconditioned area an the back of mine just for storage. If you have the means to go BIG... Then GO...

Re: Garage turned obsesion Yeah, the picture of the condensing unit was right after I got everything put in. as you can see it is behind a fence but what you cant see is the other end of the building has a fence as well with a gate. This keeps my dogs from stiring up dust around the unit and...

Re: Garage turned obsesion The cabinets fell victim to several things, 1) obviously the flood its self, luckily the cabinets were well constructed 18 years ago. They are all wood plywood with Cherry faces so the water definitely didn't help them it didn't totally destroy them either. Most of...

Re: Garage turned obsesion I probably will not run the a/c very much except in maybe July or August when it gets really hot. I almost didnt put cooling in at all, the anly reason I did was I got the condensing unit and coil for free. At that point all I had inveested was time to install it...

Re: Garage turned obsesion Not alot to say here, these are the close up pics of the stainless trim on the walls and around the front door.

Re: Garage turned obsesion After my ciieling and lights it was time to start on the walls, the worst part of the walls was having to clean out all my junk I stashed in them. Once cleaned out I insulated and covered all the insulation weth aa heavy black polly for 2 reasons, 1) it served as a...

I have been looking at this same lift for my shop, wondering if you wouldnt mind giving me a honest "owners" review of the lift? Always nice to hear pros / cons from someone who acctualy has it setting in front of them. Thanks, Joe

Re: Garage turned obsesion First let me say thanks for the kind words, that is whhy I liked this forum from the begining. Its sentiments like that, that make me realize that I acctually do have something someone else might want. Some how I always figure that if I have it, then everyone else...

Re: Garage turned obsesion To be completly honest I'm not sure what I plan on doing inside the shop. It has taken many forms ovver the coarse of the 3 years I have been working on it. At first I was going to do a reloading room for my ammo but now I am questioning that. Seems the more I do...
