    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Bought this top box I beleive in 95. Was way too tall on roll cab. Finally took some scrap wood and cobbled this together. Usable instead of just junk in there.

    Shipping container Q&A, Thoughts?

    I sold my shipping container next to my hangar. Everything rusted bad in it. We tried some venting, didnt seem to work. Figured we would have to run a fair size dehumidifier parts of the year. Wasnt willing to do that.
