All - thanks for your comments nd input. You confirmed what I knew and gave useful ideas on the way ahead. Much appreciated

I recently purchased and have installed a Campbell-Hausfled compressor that is rated at 17.2 CFM at 90 PSI. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200431248_200431248 The blast cabinet I am considering says the gun assembly needs 25 CFM at 90 to 100 PSI...

Still a work in progress getting the loft organized. Gonna use a 4x8 sheet of left-over plywood to build a "room divider" to hopefully block the noise coming from the air compressor. It'll go where the "traffic lights ahead" sign is leaning. And you can see the projects-awaiting-hardware strewn...

Where I come from that level of domestic abuse can get you serious jail time. ;)

I'm going through the same thing but appear to be a few steps ahead of you. I attached a coupla happy-snaps. Help they help. I grouped my stuff in four major categories: Packers, cars, traffic signs, and I-love-me stuff.

78SC4X4 - WOW - Talk about bad timing! Add to that is the fact that the price has skyrocketed on plywood, OSB. wood, etc -- you are traveling a rough road. Do you have a build thread yet? Thanx for dropping in and the kind words.

I should have known that all my good luck with my GC was stock-piling some bad karma. I fully realize these are all very minor setbacks -- true examples of First World Problems -- but frustrating as h3ll as I try to finish up the final details. The place is a mess with multiple "uncompletable"...

True to his word, when the weather turned cold/miserable, he took pity on his crew and had them work in my garage to finish up the last details. It took 2.5 days to measure, cut, and attach the metal sheathing on the walls. Three things remain to be accomplished and I can call the garage done...

Guys -- some how I missed your comments. Sorry. Bryanj - Gleneagle is a beautiful area. If you are ever out this way again, come on by; I'll leave the lights on for ya. My neighbor did 20+ in USAF and now works for Delta. ODIS-- welcome back. I am getting closer to the Jag coming home every...

Will -- that is high praise coming from you. Your garage and the incredibly well organized "everything" (the major stuff: from benches, to tool drawers and corner scales; to the minor (from lighting improvements, to towel dispensers) served as an inspiration to me as I planned my layout. I...

Rudi -- thanx for stopping in and the kind words. I just glanced at your thread -- definitely needs a much more careful read when I have some time. From the little I did read, you have some mad fabrication skills -- -- -- and even more patience when dealing with the bureaucrats. - Craig

Jayman17 -- great idea about softening the leading edge of the treads // shortykorte -- Thanx for the "outside the box" comment Goldcar and JP Fabrication -- thanks or stopping in and appreciate the comments Craig

fouckfest Great use of space -- very efficient. I like the double-mounted grinders. How difficult is it to spin the stand 180 to get the "other" grinder up front? Craig

This garage needs to get finished pretty soon. I've got boxes stacking up in my entry way just waiting to be opened, assembled and installed. You can probably pick out the slop sink; I assembled one of the two stools (the other must be coming tomorrow)

Jayman17 I should have expected you'd spot the stringers. Yes -- they are premade from https://www.fast-stairs.com/. The kit includes two bottoms of the stringer (pair on the right) and two uppers (that attach to the landing). See photo 1. In between these two pieces on each stringer is an...

Very, very nicely done. If you are counting, I like the look of the small brick pattern around the window. Are you concerned the red paint will make it too dark in the garage? or will the lighting compensate? Love the Shelby banner -- I have the same.

Some progress - which at this stage is completing just the last final steps to full completion. The walls of the bathroom were dry-walled and painted (hardly worth a photo) and the exterior walls had the final OSB attached and the door installed. That sets the stage for my ghost plumber to...

Haugy -- those blocks weighed 76 pounds each. I was a bit concerned that they didn't have an interlocking lip on the blocks to tie them together but the landscaper assured me that they way they poured/packed the 3/4" granite into the blocks would lock everything together. No concrete was used...

I just went through this issue this past summer. EDIT: I just noted you are pouring a retaining wall -- all these comments are regarding a block wall. Hope it still helps. The first thing that jumps out at me is the height of your wall. Can't speak for anywhere except Colorado, but walls here...

OK -- you guys convinced me. I will continue updates here when I start work on my mini-fleet. Thanx for dropping in and voicing your views (Isonic -- for a second time). -- Craig
