    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Spent afternoon trying to get the chainsaw situation organized. Saws in three locations (shed, shop and lakehouse). Husqvarna 455 rancher (20”) and a 235e (16”) Echo 58v they discontinued it. Charger went bad so at time cheaper to order new 56v saw. Later found a used charger. 16” bar...

    A mission style ottoman

    I know it’s a personal preference thing but like the brown better. Sometimes life is full of happy accidents like not having enough black and the store having brown.

    Bell system

    Dad worked in the Long Lines Division. Microwave tower and later fiber. Went to a funeral last week of one of his coworkers. There aren’t many left. Out of all the coworkers all had prior military. Not sure whether it was sign of the times or fact their facility handled military traffic.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    In the middle of a plumbing project from hell (they all are) the door knob of the shop decided to not work. Despite the removal of the knob I couldn’t manipulate the plunger internally to get it open. Yes I know how to do it but it wasn’t cooperating. Even briefly used the oscillating tool. To...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    As I’ve aged I found that I can still work but once I stop for supper or something else my back and body tightens and I’m done. It doesn’t loosen back up.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    One late night on eBay I discovered that Chevrolet made hardware posters in the early 1950’s. I got a pair. Today I framed them using Amazon frames. Replaced the fiberboard backing for acid free foam board. Thought they’d look cool in the shop.

    The Shop Notebook

    I don’t. I should. My time in the shop is fragmented and I constantly remeasure, find duplicate parts and suffer from lack of organization. I’ve got a friend that has a 35 years of journals from travel, adventure, fly fishing, hunting and shooting sports. Alaska to Antarctica. It’s cool to...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Speed Metal Garage - rattle_snake’s 34x40 shop build in AZ

    Desert conditions certainly aid in outdoor storage. My outside storage rots, rusts and weeds grow in it. This was well designed and nicely executed.

    Recommendations for new garage wall color?

    I asked my daughter. She said pink. She’s five and all things Barbie I’d go two tone gray with stripe.

    New Cabinetry on Pressure Treated Lumber

    Pt wood shouldn’t come into contact with metal nor concrete for longevity. Even fasteners for pt wood must be rated for that. Having said that I’d get a roll of this and call it good. I’d use this between the concrete and wood...
