    Model A Ford garage

    Haven't been in this thread in a while. Nice to see the Mustang progress, and LOVE the forging hammer restoration. I love seeing these old machines in museums and figuring out how they work. Even better seeing one put to use. Nice job!

    My Texas Dream Garage

    Nice, very nice. Just discovered and read the whole thread. Like the building in the shop look. Did you ever get the motorcycle up on the ledge?

    The new Icehouse

    Don, first off, I LOVE your place, especially the store fronts inside, the diner, and the outside appearance. My wife and I were enthralled looking at everything of yours after I shared it with her. I have been in the current house since August 2014. I have to paint more, finish some cabinet...

    The new Icehouse

    Just used it with a vehicle for the first time this last weekend. Had to add a circuit for this. There was no 240 in the garage (except for the circuit I also added for the compressor).

    The new Icehouse

    Last November, I bought a used Rotary lift found on Craigslist and refurbished it (mostly) and got it operational. It's from the early 80's I believe. SP84-7 or 8 I think. Here are some before and after pictures.

    The new Icehouse

    Since dumping everything the first fall and leaving it sit over the first winter, I started last summer to clean up and organize. First I painted one wall (rest will be painted later, likely next spring/summer), then built a large plywood shelf to house the heavy car parts. Pics here. X...

    The new Icehouse

    Hello everyone, I decided I would put together a gallery of what I have done so far with much inspiration, help and extreme jealousy brought on by this site. First off, I moved to Michigan in 2014. After 25 years in the same locale and 15 in the same house, I had collected too many cars and...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I performed my first vehicle lift on my newly installed used Rotary today. Also was able to put up more art on the walls.

    Leak at pressure switch

    My Sanborn 60 gallon compressor bleeds pressure down when sitting (drops to about 55-60 psi). I sprayed soapy water on the lower part of the pressure switch where the hiss was coming from. It appeared to bubble at the joint between the manifold an the electrical portion of the switch. Is...

    Good hose reel?

    Just scored the Goodyear 50' off Craigslist yesterday, BNIB, for less than half the Amazon cost. Obviously not installed or used yet, but it FEELS like a good deal at this point.:bounce: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LQ7WKM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Bonus: It matches my blue and yellow Rotary.

    Life in the Barns

    Love it. Both the inside and outside work. It's great when the old homestead is taken care of. I have lived in two very old houses, but never owned a barn yet. Looking forward to more "big barn" info.

    CFL troubles with fixture

    Well, theoretically everything is always vibrating above absolute 0, and the electrons are moving, but you're right about the expansion/contraction. ;)

    Extending WiFi to detached gargage

    Thanks, that helps a lot. So version 1 I understand. Version 2 is working as a receive for the existing Wifi signal. Would this also have to be setup at 20 mHz as in version 3? Version 3 is working as a transmitter sending the signal. For Version 1 (2 units), I could use them at the higher...

    Extending WiFi to detached gargage

    OK, went to do some reading to ask better questions and understand the answers. I have not tested the wifi range extensively, but my daughter reports she can get it to the street in the front yard, about 50 feet. My garage is about 75' from the house in the backyard (maybe 100' from the...
