    The Mithril Garage... Seriously?

    Just a final pic of the ladder completed and in place: Also, I've secured some free 4x8 foam panels to insulate the ceiling once the roof is fixed and am looking into getting 4x8 sheets of 3/4 ply for the attic/loft floor over the weekend. Need to get a light on the top side as well...

    The Mithril Garage... Seriously?

    Random note of interest, or non-interest as it may be. The dark cabinets were in the shop when I started renting. The white cabinets were picked up free from a remodel of an older house being gutted. The white metal cabinets on the left were moved out of the house, and the blue cabinets and...

    The Mithril Garage... Seriously?

    Minor Update w/o pics for the past few days. Will post later this evening hopefully. Made progress on the organizing. A good portion of the dirt has been packed, but the rest needs to be moved. Started on the ladder for access to the storage area. Seems I burnt out the old wiring. 12 run...

    The Mithril Garage... Seriously?

    dave in tn - Is your 66 original, reso-mod, hot rod, lol... or something in between? Not sure what direction that will go when I finally get to it... but it's definitely a much later project (at this point at least :D ) Ok, here's the slab poured around the well. Again, the low point of the...

    Grunge Garage

    Wow... what a rollercoaster ride this thread is. I spent a better part of (ok, ALL of) yesterday trying to completely get through this. Bill - Don't EVER give up. You'll have to trudge harder to get out of the situation. It IS possible, and you both have started that journey. You and Julie work...

    The Mithril Garage... Seriously?

    Thanks. Much to be done. That is a pile of dirt I need to thin and pack. There's a well in the corner by the toolbox. Thats the low spot. The other side of the shop is almost 10" higher. The whole floor is uneven. I am attempting to level it out, at least to the support pole. Thanks! It was...

    The Mithril Garage... Seriously?

    Ok, so the name's a bit cheezy... but if you're a JRR Tolkien fan, maybe you get the drift. Otherwise, it's an extremely lightweight, strong, and valuable substance forged into 'stuff'... Anyway... getting the building anywhere close to that point on a slim to none budget may be a miracle...

    Greetings from the SouthEast!

    Thanks. I'm looking forward to both sharing and receiving feedback. I should have some time this evening to get a thread started under the other section. I'm sure it will need a slow moving vehicle sign though. Be forewarned that I'm not that crafty... Now, if I can manage to NOT stay on here...

    Greetings from the SouthEast!

I stumbled across this site almost two years ago and really enjoyed checking out all the hard work and effort that has been/is put into making great work spaces. A real wealth of ideas and knowledge. I look forward to seeing what kind of inspiration...
