    Do you have a trip A and a trip B on your odometer? Use B for oil change intervals. I use A for gas mileage.

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Restored 1930's Auto Shop

    Nice! My wife's dad had a Texaco station in the early 50's. He had one of those and offered it to me for free while he was moving out of the house he raised his family in. That would be around the late 90's. Like a ******* I said, nah, keep it and he rolled it to the curb. Of course, gone in no...

    How tough is snap on credit?

    Been on the job there 4 yrs and an excellent reputation with the current dealer? I would think he'd pull any strings to get you financed. I say no problem with S-O. But!...listen to what these guys are telling you. Try and get a promo deal then head for the credit union. Buy used if at all...

    Tool Trip to Grandpa's

    I used to go up that way to Chincoteague Island, VA back when I lived in Suffolk. And caught many a Stripers off the pylons of that bridge. Good times!

    Suspended Storage

    Yes! That's the one. What else do you do with all that space up there? I love it, and it's a real attention getter. Yes, I have 6 totes on it. That's just for Halloween stuff!! Xmas junk is all in the crawl spaces above the garage. I just hated going to the same place twice in such a short time...

    Whats one thing you REALLY want for your Garage?

    Someone to pick up after me and put the tools away. One of them garage assistants will do. But if I could really, really pull that trigger, then I'd Gladiator the whole thing over. Incl diamond plate fridge.

    Shop pranks

    Several thick tie wraps placed around the drive shaft of your prankster buddy's truck. Remember the base ball card in your bike spokes? Great payback. Try it. No harm done.

    Ventilation

    Yes, i suspect i'm stepping on code violations here and if someone was to have a home inspection done for purchase in the future i'm busted there. So i guess i'll just keep the door open a bit while in use for now. Thanks again, ya'll.

    Ventilation

    Thanks, both of you. Always good to ask, right? Could you show me a link to the in wall louver with gravity damper you're talking about? Or is it this? Which means cutting open an exterior wall. http://www.drillspot.com/contractors/heating-and-cooling/ventilation/shutters/
