Fiddling with the small stuff Spent this weekend transferring tools from garage to shop. I installed some galvanized metal peg board. Heavy Duty for sure. It comes in 16" x 32" panels. Purchased from HD. Also found a nice looking diamond plate 40" shelf. Now it's time to shop for a...

The new home for my mistress. She's loving her new space.

The HDS 45. Sealed combustion unit. Also purchased the concentric adaptor box vent kit. Two vents (exhaust/fresh air) to the box, but only one on the exterior of building.

Quick update Hot Dawg heater is in service and she throws some wicked heat. Hung an electrical cord retraction reel. A convenience item. Will come in handy with my rolling project table I plan to build soon. What's left: A blank wall over my rolling tool bench awaiting a 50" LED flatscreen...

Finishing up NG Heating Unit being installed tomorrow. Other than that, all the major stuff has been completed. Hooah! A shop is born. I waited a long time for this space. Everything that's left is essentially trim work, organization, and transferring tools, the motorcycle, and other...

Wow Nico!, You really made good use of your space. Looks Stellar. I'm just beginning to start the finishing work on my shop build. Compressor is next on my list. Best regards, Mag http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200815&page=5

Hung a few cabinets today. Seville Ultra HD series from Sam's Club. The benchtop is almost too nice to work on, but, I'll break it in soon enough.

And on the 118th day there was LIGHT :shocking: Finally, hung two rows of T8 Lighting. WOW, I can see. One more row to go in the back. Will have that done today. More importantly, I hung the dartboard.:drink:

What do I have to say for myself I **** at mudding, especially ceilings. I decided to texture the ceiling and do it using the most forgiving technique. Slapbrush texture. I covered my floors and walls with plastic and away I went. I used all purpose joint compound (green lid) that I...

Oh Yeah! Big Screen for Big events.:pimpflash I'll have to figure out a way to keep the dust off it when I'm woodworking. Maybe build a cabinet around that's ventilated. They throw off heat even when they are turned off.

Re: Manctuary is officially open WOW! BEAUTIFUL!!!! You did a great job. You're really going to love that space.

Saba, Thanks for the info buddy, I almost bought the Homax. I'll look at the other stuff.

Slowly but surely she goes....... Primer and Paint on OSB. Accent trim in all the corners will come later. Sheetrock on ceiling taped with 1st coat of mud. Will work on finishing the ceiling this week so I can paint and hang my T8 lights. Will start hanging some cabinets soon...

Hey Saba, What did you use to put the texture on the ceiling? I'm at my wits end taping & mudding my ceiling. Don't think I'm going to get the smooth result I was hoping. Not willing to put the time & effort to do so. Would like to go with some type of texture to hide the imperfections...

Re: Give me hell!! I agree totatlly, however, tools are the exception!

Wiz, I just did the same install a few months ago. My local electrical supply house (not the big box morons) gave me all the advice and guidance I needed. Hopefully yours can do the same.

Ditto! Rebuilt a weedeater and rototiller this spring. Always, always put non-ethanol gas in these little engines.

Good luck, looks like you have a plan and it will be a fun project.

UGH! Been there, done that. I don't envy you bro. But you'll love the epoxy.

Looks like an ole Pittsburgh floor jack.
