Here's another little garage project. This wood wall with a door was originally the ladies restroom. It was turned into the furnace room for the variety store. The wall was initially filled with sawdust, but most of it had leaked out.

Thanks Lin & Dave. Most of what I do on the garage, I make up as I go. :confused: If it doesn't work, I just do it again 'till it does. :bounce:

Wow! That's one heck of a nice garage. Mine will never look as good.

Lookin' good. I like it. :beer:

Re: 70 Yr old couple building a barn (garage/workshop) Great project Lin and Dave. There's hope for me yet. :)

Here's something else I did last summer. Everyone probable knows by now that I have no extra money for the garage projects. They just kinda happen as things come together. Planets aligning and all that. One day, when moving my welding machine, I caught the door edge with the cart and tore...

Eventually, it'll get siding.

Windows installed. Center one is fixed. The other two swing out. Ready for winter.

Moving to the inside. If ya gotta move the bench, ya might as well paint the walls.

The old windows had to go as well. New sills were installed.

Had to repair the chimney base.

Summer '09. The workshop was almost impossible to heat. Something had to be done. So, dig down to the slab and insulate. These are insulated panels that are cut out of doors prior to installing a window. These particular ones are fiberglass clad.

In the workshop, you can see the area that has no wallboard on the ceiling. There was a wall here, and in that room there was some wooden shelves and, where the wood stove sits, there was a air compressor. I moved the air compressor to where the blast booth now sits. When I got the blast...

Oops, yer right Jack. I'll correct that. I must admit, I didn't look, just guessed.

I replaced the big furnace in the service bay with a used direct vent Olsen ($100).

No, the son of the of the origional owner of the garage wanted it. He was putting together a display for his father. It no longer worked and I didn't have time to mess with it.

I framed in the large opening in the end of the bay and installed two doors that were given to me. This allowed me to heat just the back room by itself. Here's some pics of the workshop (back room).

This is the service bay, it's 25' x 14'. A 8.5' x 6.5' opening was cut into the back wall when the addition was added to the back of the garage. 180,000 BTU furnace would heat this space with the door open. :) This is the crane that was green and holding the boat in a previous pic. I...

The trailer under the Nova was a POS, but the trailer under the Trojan was good. So I sold the Trojan without a trailer, Moved the Nova to the Trojan's trailer and gave the Nova's trailer to the guy that bought the Trojan. The A-Frame crane and the Giant engine hoist were pressed into service.

At the same time as all this was going on I found a boat that I just had to have. Here's some pics as I found it. It was advertised as a '77 Wellcraft. Turns out, it wasn't While searching for information on Holman Moody motors, I came across my very first forum. So, not being very...
