Installed a new entry door yesterday. Also picked up some supplies for a new electrical feed from the house.

Replaced the old wood window earlier this winter. Installed some fencing to separate the renters section of the yard and the portion that will house the new garage later on. Also a more recent pic in side the holdover. Lots more fencing to put up to close in the yard. New electrical service to...

Not much work on the garage lately. Finally did get the house rentable and rented which will help fund garage repairs and the eventual big garage build. Picked up a new California Air Tools compressor last month. Should be just enough for my needs. Seems like a good deal for the $.

My little one car

Took a welding class In June and picked up this little Eastwood 135. Got the cart from northern tool. Very happy with both purchases. Just need to get some shielding gas as the flux core makes a mess of sheet metal. Lots of metal repair on the Sprite coming up this fall and winter.

Did a little work on some upper shelving in the garage. Got the old shed out back all cleaned up. The wood that was beyond saving has provided fuel for some great fires this summer.

Awesome!

Finally got the floor from the old building demo'd. Just some more cleanup to do now.

Thanks for the comments and feedback so far everyone. Really enjoying the Garage Journal community.

Worked in the garage a little this week. Put the new blast cabinet in place on the base my grandfather built for me. Used some found packing crates and shelf brackets to add some storage and another work surface. Going to stain the 2x4 frame for the upper shelf so it blends in a little.

Changed course for a couple of weeks and decided to focus on something that I've been wanting to do for the past year. Demo and old 14x21 building in the middle of the property that is to far gone to save. Its pretty much a wildlife refuge. Managing to save some timbers here and there but most...

Used casters from HF. They roll nice but dont lock that well.

Picked up the finished base for my benchtop blast cabinet from my grandfather last night. It came out great. Used a darker stain so it'l blend in to the old wood in the garage a little better. So happy with it. Got to pick up something to line the drawer bottoms.

My little holdover garage

My granfather is building a rolling base I drew up with a couple of drawers out of some birch ply for a benchtop blast cabinet the Mrs got me for Christmas. Should be ready in a week or so.

Mounted an old Craftsman vice that I had found in the basement of the new house. Little wirebrushing and some Rustoleum cleaned it up nice. Lots of old tools left behind by the prevoius owner. I'll take some more pics this weekend.

Here is a picture of the new house, lot, and existing garage (outlined in red). We live in the house on the lot outlined in green. The idea is to join the yards at the back of our house and build a new garage in the back of the new lot someday.
