Yep - My wife mentioned that as well. However, it was a bit of a concession.... the garage being the same size as the house, it's pretty imposing. I wanted to help it "blend" as much as I could, and a severe, straight drive would have looked very "commercial." I've backed my 18' trailer in...

Man, that's like Christmas in April! :) Let me know if you need anything from me... Greg has my phone #, feel free to call or text anytime. Can't wait to show you around the new place. Thanks much, Frenchie!

That's great to know! I spoke with Greg (Sakura) earlier today - the car is down at his place, so it's probably near your area. I'd love to have you "lay hands" on it.

Actually, we may need to be in touch soon. Greg and I were discussing a set of Weber 42 DCOEs I have that have been a PITA since I got them. He indicated you might be the guy to talk to about going through them. :)

Ok, so here's some pics from the last couple weekends at Datsun Ranch... we've been busy as hell getting more landscaping done, putting in plants, and I'm taking care of "honey-dos" in the actual house here and there. Mia - Official Datsun Dachshund Garage Dawg and Chaser of Living Critters...

Sorry for the lack of replies, guys - For some reason I wasn't getting notifications from the site. Frenchy, I know your car well... Spectacular. Are you here in AZ too? If so, we've met (or might have been your son?) over at Sakura. They do a lot of stuff for me over there. Almost all of...

A shot from a couple nights ago - It was really dark and rainy, but the building looks kinda eerie in the mist!

Good question - It's snug. Approximately 16' at the closest point (garage door to edge of retaining wall/curb). I don't intend to do a lot of in/out on the last bay - In fact, I'm thinking that end will be for cars stacked "sideways" and on dollies. The North and Center bay doors will get the...

More outdoor updates - Apologies to those of you who are shoveling snow. :) Preparation for the driveway up to the shop: This looked like a good idea in my head - I'm thinking we'll replace this with a much larger boulder later (or add another to "hide" it), as it's kinda overwhelmed by...

So, the weather has been spectacular here in the AZ, and rather than rub in the fact that the high temp has been 75* and sunny for the past week or so, I'd just take everyone OUT of the shop and show what we're working on outside. Because the property has a pretty good slope back-to-front, I...

Wow, there's a name I haven't seen in a while! Howdy Mr. Ho! Get your **** back on the forums and let everyone know what you've been up to - we miss you pal. :)

Sounds awesome Jon - Glad to see another Valley member here!

^ That's the hot gal that let me build a shop the size of our house. If you can find one, I highly recommend it... She's spectacular. :)

Thanks Doug! These pics are about a month behind.... I've just finished moving about 80% of my **** into it (no cars yet). Everything is in a huge pile in the center of the space, and I'll be having some cabinets installed this Friday. I'm always on the lookout for a Silvia. Someday, man...

Outside, we mounted four "dark-sky-compliant" LED lights, just for safety. Hard to really see, but they look amazing from the edge of the property at night... almost looks like some sort of cathedral, haha. My best buddy Jason from RestoFab made this 2' x 3' sign for the front door, with a...

Just for fun, a panoramic pic of the interior:

Great info - That's helpful. I may have to change my plan there, then. Any good links to 'point-of-work' types of extraction solutions? I also have a big Hitchi air purifier that I planned on having in the room, but from what you're saying, that's not going to take care of the bulk of the issue.

Some perspective shots, to show the relationship of the bathroom and utility room to the studio: ...and a few more shots of the actual garage space. The last shot hopefully shows the configuration a little better.

OK, as promised: I didn't like the "house-style" baseboards, so I pulled them out and went with a base cove molding. Heavy, charcoal grey vinyl, definitely made an improvement and will be more functional. The "office / studio apartment" concrete floors weren't going to work for me, so I...
