Holy cow you have stayed busy. I went to look at that index I made for this thing (once upon a time long ago, before I was quite so busy at work and in life in general) and now there's about half the thread uncatalogued. Sadly I can't make any promises about being able to spend the time to...

Nasman- I stopped in here to check on a few old threads and yours was one that I’d responded to a year or two back- I was amazed then and it’s only got better since. I’m still in awe of the work you’re doing and very inspired by you and Lin doing this together. Gives me hope for 40 years from...

Way, way cool. The big louvers on the tonneau are a neat idea, and different (any pics of how you did that?). I'd be scared to have those stack tips like that, ball covering them or not- but I like them. I just have little kids all over the place, so don't mind me. I'd be tempted to put flaps on...

Re: garage refurb Welcome to my world. :| HAppens to me all the time. Place is looking great. Good work.

Definitely. I know projects like this tend to take years, but I was just sure the update would be somebody bumping it to ask what happened and/or whether it ever was finished. Great looking place! :thumbup:

Looks great. Man, what a pretty deck.

Those metal roll-front doors are neat. Why the kidney-bean shape, I wonder? Seems like a waste of space vs a plain old rectangle. Maybe they were more style-conscious when those were made.

Wow. Haven't looked in here in a while- it appears I have some catching up to do. That deck is incredible- love it. Very interested in seeing how you do the pergola/ shade fabric thing. Wouldn't work for me here (AL weather is a lot different than CA...), but I'm interested in seeing it come...

Haven't been in this thread in a while - doing my occasional skim/ catchup. Laughed at several young girls farting at the sight of ol' Gus, then thought "nah - Tom wouldn't have said that..." :D Need to slow down and actually READ instead of just glossing over... :lol_hitti

the building is gorgeous - great work. That apple tree would annoy me in its current spot, unless that angle makes it look like it comes over the path more than it does. I'd be out there with a saw, cutting off that bottom branch on the left, or at least the leftmost part of it- if I didn't...

:thumbup: Kudos to you on getting up and moving with the three little ones around. I have three boys, ages 7 and under, and I love them to bits- but getting anything done around our place has gotten so hard that progress on just about any project stalls out at least a couple times mid-work. I’m...

Hi all. I took a break from the Garage Journal for a while, then came back and thought I'd check in with this thread, but couldn't figure out where I'd left off. I thought "surely somebody's made an index of 275 pages of posts by now" but no- so I did. Thread Index Couple side notes: There...

Replying because I’m looking at these as well. In our case, our main AC unit is getting older, and remodels done to the house before we bought it are putting more load on the AC than it was meant to handle. Our place is a ranch, so one level, but there’s a converted carport at the end of the...

Neato. I'd rent that for $600 and change a year, too. First thing I'd do would be to paint alllll that block with some white paint, just to brighten it up. Get you a renters policy, just in case, but other than that, just enjoy. Maybe rig up a small solar system/batteries to run lights off of...

:lol: I imagine so!

Warehouse Journal is over there --> Just kidding. Man, but is that going to be one big building. Best of luck, looking forward to seeing how it shakes out.

Good on you for chasing what you want to have- looks like the hard work is working out. Shop looks crowded already with customer cars, so you must be doing something right. I like the $1000 Lincoln! :thumbup:

Impressive, all around. Congratulations- not exactly what I was expecting when I saw "finally starting my garage build" but it sure turned out well.

Re: E-tek Resto's 56 Chevy Truck Looking good- love that 50s green. Where on the restoration<-------------->hotrod continuum does this project land? Straight back to stock, minor changes, major mechanical hotrodding, airbags etc? I know a lot of people don’t mind it, but for my part I’d...

It was a lot of work, I’m sure, but that’s a good looking floor. To me, the best part of a stain like that instead of the epoxy coat, etc., is that it tends to have a little more variation in tone which gives it more character. Good on you for keeping after it and getting it done. Just...
