Funny, You drive to Iowa to see dirt racing. We drive to Texas to watch the NASCAR race in the spring.

Knoxville is a great place 33 minutes my driveway to their parking lot. Love camping there.

I didn't look through every post so sorry if it's a repeat but I made some shelves out of rain gutter to hold paint cans. Works great and things don't fall off when the doors slam shut on the cabinet. Other nice thing is they cost about $4 each and come in any length you need.

Good Luck getting your bench down to the basement. A CNC machine would be way cool but not sure I'd be any good with it.

Here's a picture of the "Bucket List" on my garage wall. Might need to zoom in if you want to read it

I got the idea for the bucket list chalk board from an ice cream shop in Buena Vista Colorado that had a whole wall covered in one. I'll add the list a little later

yep just having a good time in the garage

I don't do a lot of woodworking but i got tired of cutting wood with the saw sitting on the floor so i built a folding shelf for a small table saw on one end and my miter saw on the other end

Hey all, Love seeing all the great work benches and thought I would share one I just built from almost all scrap wood. The top is an old counter top a friend gave me and the drawer handles are some old wrenches I had laying around along with some old bolts from my yard art 48 Ford truck. Enjoy

So here's a couple pictures of the "done" garage. Got the heater installed a couple weeks ago and boy is it nice. I went with the 75,000 btu unit running on propane and it feels great and doesn't make any noise (other than the expansion and contraction moans and grown). The car lift has been...

Here's just after the floor got finished

Great to see so many fellow Iowan's. It's good to have a garage here in the winter. Speaking of that mine's all but done. I'll get some pictures posted Here's a few of the things I like the most so far: Lighting - I went with 2'X4' LED lights. I was told 4 would be fine for general lighting...

Like what you've got going on. Hopefully the weather cooperates through the rest of the winter

Here's what it looks like after insulation, electrical rough in and liner installation

This time around I'm paying the bills and acting as GC for all the sub trades. I built a garage at our house in Colorado and it took me several years with all the other things life presents to a married man with kids. This time I wanted to enjoy it rather than build it :drool: The Amish guys...

Great project. I love existing garage remodels and seeing how you can make the most out of the space no matter how big or small it is.

yep, the building is from Pro-Line and they sink the uprights first and pour the concrete around them. An Amish team of 4 put the building up and did a great job. Very high attention to detail. Funny you mention cutting the hill back farther to allow parking along the side. That was the...

I'll have to work on getting some pictures of the old truck. It's a cool truck. My wife bought it for me as a birthday gift (way better than a new tie). It was sitting behind a barn and she bought from the grandson of the original owner (got the original title). You could call it a one owner...

Hi all, Thanks for the input. The dirt bank is 4 to 5 foot tall at it tallest point. The plan is to taper the hillside to a slope that matches our front yard because I know I can sidehill mow it without rolling the mower. I also plan to install a French drain along the side that will come out...

So while most people think Iowa is all flat. We live on the bank of a river valley so it took 45 small dump truck loads to get the building pad leveled, and will take about the same for the driveway. The good news is the farmer down the road wanted the dirt so we got it down to 8 minutes round...
