It worked well. I bought it from Harbor Freight for $6.** with my 20% off coupon. It is rated at 39 lbs. and my 10' aluminum ladder came in at just about 26 lbs. To be safe I threw two zipties around each mounting clamp to ensure it didn't slide. I barely use this ladder (maybe 2-3 times a...

Update 1/2/2016 I had a few days off and was able to get a few more things done out in the old garage. First up was my 4' x 8' electric storage lift. I use this to store all of my yard care equipment. I have probably 500 lbs. in this and the lift works great! Next up was to hang the...

That would be the exhaust. It exists under the car and angles towards the ground.

:thumbup: It is a pretty amazing car. I wish they still sold the same thing new today. The EVO X just doesn't do it for me.

I was in the same boat. But I still feel LED's are too expensive. From what I've read the T8's were the best bang for the buck for say.

12/3/2015 The new lights are awesome! The pictures aren't the best, but you get the idea. It is very bright and has good coverage. Each bulb is rated @ 2750 lumens x 28 bulbs = 77,000 lumens total. I went with a 6500k color temp. I was a little hesitant at first. But after seeing them up...

I got quite a bit more done over the holiday weekend. All the electrical receptacles are re-installed and working, ceiling fans are mounted, and all 7 light fixtures are hung. Only a few more things to wrap up and the ceiling will be complete! I'll post updated pictures soon.

Yes that is Norwalk.

I don't think so. I'll see if I can dig something up.

One of my favorite pictures. I'll see if I can get a few more updated pictures posted. ------------------------------------------ Video from a race this past August. If you search 'StreetThisEVO' on YouTube I have a lot of videos posted. :)

Once that is done you are on the home stretch! I still need to build work benches and storage for everything. Getting the majority of it done before the snow started to fall was the goal. I look forward to actually working on my race car and other projects again :thumbup:

11/22/2015 Mudding and tapping are finally done. Painting is also complete. Needless to say I'm sore.... With the holiday weekend approaching I don't think I'll get a lot done. I hope to re-mount my heaters and to re-connect all of the electrical receptacles this week. After that I need to...

11/14/2015 Drywall is up. I choose to use 5/8" fire rated lightweight panels for the entire space. My truck got a nice workout hauling all of this home. 22 panels total - 4' x 10' 19 panels total - 4' x 12'

All new wiring & insulation are installed. I used 12/2 throughout the entire space & 8/2 for my 220 Volt welder. In total there is around 650' of 12/2 and about 80' of 8/2. I put a lot of thought into where to place everything. The ceiling will have (7) 8' - 4 bulb T8 fixtures, (2)...

8/2015 - Present I took a few months off to concentrate on racing. But with winter coming soon, I needed to get this project going again. Now the real fun begins! The existing space was partially dry walled but had no insulation. I choose to tear it all out and to gut the electric...

5/2015 - 6/2015 Electric service to my house was updated from 100 AMP to 200 AMP service. 60 AMPs will be dedicated to the garage upgrade project. A new sub-panel will be installed in the garage. I have a good buddy who is an electrician and did all of the service line upgrades for me.

12/2014 - 1/2015 Got my (2) Mr. Heater (Part # MH25NG) natural gas heaters up and running. Although the space wasn't insulated yet, these helped me get through the cold winter months. They are rated @ 25k BTU each. They worked great and do not require venting. Not to mention they are 99%...

My house was equipped with a ugly bomb shelter. In order for me to gain access to run new gas, electric, etc.. to the garage I had no choose but to remove it all. We estimate that there was a total of 8,000 lbs. of concrete block. Plus a very well built wooden internal structure. A dumpster...
