So with the deadline for clearing my folks house out, I started putting the shelving up. I had gotten this from government surplus years ago and I was set up in their garage. So I had to empty it off, move it out and rebuild it, then fill it back up. It's great heavy duty shelving, built by a...

This room sat for quite a while in this state as I dealt with the cleanup of my folks house. I was filing the rest of the garage up. Eventually I got back to it and attached and insulated the stairs, then put up some gyproc and finished the room. I'm Hoping to have it act as a sort of cold room...

We had wanted to put a "cold" room in the back of the garage, under the stairs. Before I could do that I had to change some wiring. I had to open the wall back up and add a circuit for the eventual heat pumps out the back of the garage and wire up the room itself for lights. Once I had that...

Long overdue update, sometimes life gets busy and things get overlooked. Looking back on my last images, I've almost gotten the upstairs sheeted in. Although if the weather is nice I tend to be outside or doing something else. Anyway, in the last year and few months I had a lot going on. We...

That's the battery on the left? That's a nice looking system.

Here's a rack I repurposed last year. It's pretty old and not a regular size, but it has some good wheels under it for moving around. It's still a complete mess as I'm in the middle of moving house. I had originally planned to put my dog treat storage containers on the back, hence the plywood...

I put those into my garage, they're great lights. I bought a 10 pack, but only put 8 up. Nice even light. I did put 3 outlets in the ceiling, then ran the jumpers to the ones on the side. I'm going to probably zip tie the little cords when I'm done drywalling. I'll try and get a photo of them.

Here's a tool box work was tossing a few years ago. I grabbed it and put it in my folks garage which I'm now in the process of cleaning. It's a Beach that was rarely used at a site. When I get my garage sorted I'll clean it up and use it there.

I came across this one today that I'm thinking of getting. I was wondering if anyone has used it. It mentions TPMS reset along with some others, as well as no subscription fees. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DBJGKGB7/?tag=atomicindus08-20

The northern lights have been crazy around here this summer as well.

I was told putting it on its side and opening the fill cap a little would keep it from leaking. That's how I store mine, so far it works. Here's a tree I cut down with it today. Probably too big for it, but it worked. I used two half charged 5ah batteries. It's the tree almost in the centre of...

I have one of these and would have gotten a spare if it was available in Canada. It's a great little saw.

Here's a quick end of summer update on the garage. Finished the last outside wall in June. It was straightforward, one window, only took a weekend. I also finished up the backside of the little shed. For some reason I never finished the final bit of siding on it so I figured it would be best to...

Our dump doesn't allow picking. Used to drive me nuts to see fridges with their door shelving just being crushed. Especially when I needed one of those shelves and found out it was $80 from a dealer. Luckily a friend had the same fridge lose it's control board. I went over and stripped...

I picked up some refurbished Reolink's off their Ebay store. An older poe model, RLC-520's. Basic with good quality resolution. I've probably set up 10 or 15 of them with no issues.

I picked up a drywall lift off Marketplace a couple of weeks ago. I probably won't get mine started till the fall, or rainy days.

Neat to see it's a Rock-ola. I have a couple of their jukeboxes.

With the overhang done, I was ready to start siding the front. I was a little worried about how to match it all up. Especially the meeting area over the door. I used some string and line level to get a mark and measured down from there for the starter strip. I'm sure there's probably a better...

With the back done, I started on the front. I had an idea on putting an overhang over the man door. The roofing company had miss cut a couple of the small panels and threw them in, so I figured that could work. I worked out the approximate angles and lengths needed and built it. Using the...

I took a few days off work and started on the siding. A friend had suggested I start on the back to get it out of the way. I managed to get that side done over a Friday/Saturday. It was pretty straightforward, once I got the staging set up and made some jigs for the roof angles. I put a spot...
