Jayman Thanx once again for the comments. You guys can count on a new thread documenting my progress on getting my Jag back on the road Craig

I am impatient for my garage to be completed. I promised myself I wouldn't start any projects in it until it was totally finished. I am now about break that promise and start before the bathroom it finished. I am waiting for the installation of my 2-post lift; that will trigger bringing my Jag...

That is coming along just fine. You are gonna have hours of enjoyment in your new play room. I'll bet you can't wait to get on there!

I agree -- thsat is an AMAZING hayloft. It's a shame you can't host weddings, receptions, meeting in it. What is the issue? It's not clear if the US flag is still hung on the high wall. If it is, it is hung backwards. When attached to a wall the blue field is always in the upper left. Craig...

You've gotten some good leads thus far for tools and boxes. I am curious how you plan the fit the following in a 33x55 garage 2x Bend Pak lifts 8-10 cars Work Benches Tool Box(es) some other things Even if the lifts are 4-posters and you stack cars, I think you're gonna find some cramped...

GoldCar I stumbled upon the FACOM brand when I bought a screwdriver set from Griot's Garage back when they sold quality tools rather than just waxes and polishes. I kept with them for tools and also have a set of pliers from FACOM. Again, high quality. See first photo. True or False: Ferrari...

GoldCar I see from your very first photo that you have quite a FACOM tool collection. I am a very big fan of the FACOM ergotwist screwdrivers like you have on your peg board. I don't know why FACOM went away from the ergotwist design -- it is the best screwdriver ever; bar none. I have a fair...

Always a pleasure to have you stop in and comment, Jayman17. Thanx for the comments Craig

Shorty -- what took you so long to post? Six minutes from post update to your comment.

The day after the driveway pour was complete, that same contractor prepped the interior floor for epoxy. The prep was so good that the color soaked in deeply resulting in streaks (according to the epoxy company rep who was on site). He carried away an estimated 80 pounds of concrete powder...

Its been a month or more since my last update. Made a bit of progress, some not really visible, on Thursday 24SEP20. On the same day the contractor showed to seal the exterior concrete (after curing for 30 days), his crew set the framing to extend the driveway from the stub on the apron out to...

Dave You clearly have a lot of ideas, needs and desires for this garage. The fact that you have already put this thought into this plan puts you ahead of most. A main issue you didn't comment on is the purpose of the garage. Working on autos? Wood working? Working on boats? You imply...

Dave -- good luck with your build. I was extremely fortunate to find a conscientious, honest, and hard working GC for my build. I'm nearly done -- have already ordered air compressor and will order 2-post lift on Monday. Craig

I fixed it for "My Mini Garaj Mahal" ========= Jagmandave -- weren't you on Jag-Lovers for a while? AND Shouldn't you change your handle if you are now into mini's? Craig

5Door -- I also faced the issue of digging down or filling up to get a level pad for my construction. I built a 36x48 main shop with a 24x24 attached. At the original site (disallowed by the HOA) I faced the dig or fill issue. In my case the height differential was 40-48". My GC said it was a...

This outta be epic. What will go on inside? Auto? Wood work? other? Subbed
