Another long period of time and another set a projects sorted out. It has been a while since I have posted, but there has been a lot that my wife and I have taken care of. Mind you, not everything has been related to my garage. But all has been fun. Our biggest project really, has been...

What a small world!!! I was riding in your old Scirocco last year when Zac stopped by my house! I went to school with Zac and he is treating that car like it should be. Looks like he is tearing that car apart. Just such a small world. I haven't been too updated on GJ too much, come back and...

It has been a busy couple of weeks on the garage and I have a lot of progress, which I have been happy about. I have the garage sealed up for winter. I have water issues taken care of. During the winter water shouldn't be a problem, as well we during spring thaw is shouldn't be a problem. I...

Deviating from the garage for a moment. My wife and I tackled another issue before the winter came. This retaining wall and the sloping of the yard gave us a bunch of trouble last winter. Because of the grading of the front yard, and the retaining wall, we had to rip the carpet up last...

Well, worth a report because I hit a milestone this week. Since I finished all of the Sill Plates, I still had the rotten 1 x 6's to take care of, then replace all of the outer OSB on the building. I have finally finished that task. The OSB is new, but not painted, and all of the rotten wood...

Thats a nice wide open workspace! It looks like the structure is in good condition. Are you going to have to repair anything or just focus on updating it into a usable workspace? You'll have to post some pictures of your bikes as well!

Exactly the same car. Such a sweet little thing that we got rid of our 2 MK4 golfs and got two MK6 Golf. One is a wagon though. Stove install wasn't really all that in depth. I just cut a hole in the roof and stacked the pipes on top of themselves. There isn't any bracing or anything. You...

Re: 8ft to 10ft ceiling in 8 hours, $650 ?? That opens that garage up a lot! I bet you're feeling pretty good now that you can put your vehicles the air. Great idea, and it looks like it was well done

It has definitely been very satisfying. I can't count how many times people have told me to just rip it down and start fresh. I just can't do that to a build like this. I can't buy character in a new garage. Not to mention, all the lumber and improvements that I have been have been on a...

Then the latest thing I have done is try to finally stop the rain from flowing inside the garage. Every time it rains, water pours through the front door. Just awful. So I decided to do a temp fix on the threshold. There used to be wood, asphalt and concrete pipes fitted as a dam. None of...

Next project was to jerry rig a lean to at the back of the garage. I wanted to hang bikes and store some yard tools and the like in the back. So I just made the roof out of some spare 2x4's and 2x6's I had lying around. I used the fence as the other wall. I am definitely happy with the...

Been a while since I have updated my thread, and progress has been slower than I'd like, but always more important things that the little garage out back. Since last update, I ended up finishing the wiring behind my work bench, and got some peg board up and loaded it all up. This was the first...

Looks perfect sitting in that garage. I love that you have kept i perfectly stock all these years!

Ive been in Minneapolis for some work training and found out there was an auto show. Spent this afternion wandering around and was so happy to stumble upon your setup at the show! I actually recognized your sons bike and didnt even notice your car! Tell your son that he has built a bad *** show...

You have an incredibly clean looking garage! Looks awesome and so does your collection of cars. How common is the Mustang where you are? It doesn't seem like it would be a very common car to import.

That Rabbit looks wicked! Great little daily driver. The house looks great too. What are the next steps with the rally car?

Wood stove looks great! What did you line the walls with? Is that concrete board? I just picked up a bunch corrugated steel for lining the walls with. Have you tried the stove out since installing it? What are your temps on the inside wall and on the outside of the wall too?

Do you have a build thread on the 850 tow rig?

Re: Th estrogen escape 2 Damn, thats a low Caprice. What's your suspension set up? Coils or bags? Looks like it JUST fits in there.

The Christmas season has proven to be a large time consumer. Not much garage time. Had to travel to Montreal a few times for work, along with Christmas trips out of town to see family. Not to mention, the massive ice storm we just received in Toronto, that went all along Ontario to the East...
