Because of the ESD coating this stuff is like $10/sqft. It's a damn good thing I didn't have to pay for it. ;) The seams are pretty well sealed, but I would guess a major spill would still find a way underneath. Fortunately, they are easy enough to pull up and replace if necessary (I'm...

I haven't decided yet. I have access to more of the rubber tile or I might put in 3'x3' carpet tile. I don't have to worry about snow here so I can go either way.

Just finished the floor in the lift bay. It's interlocking 2'x2' rubber tile that's usually used in labs (the floor is ESD too). It soaks up a lot of the echo and looks pretty damn good. I was afraid it would absorb too much light, but so far it looks good.

Nissan actually makes our Titan right here in the U.S., but they have no plans to export it. This is one of the rare occasions where we in the U.S. have something better than you Aussies. I cry when I see the unique Ford and GM products you have, knowing they will never be sold here. :( At...

The filter is the lowest point of the system, so I didn't bother putting in a dripleg. I'm not sure about the hot air bypassing the filter. I have a smaller filter that I use at my air tool connection off the 50' hose so i should be okay. The drops are really only for blowdown stations to...

Unfortunately, they only make it in automatic. But it is a 5.6L V8 with 305 hp and 379 ft-lb of torque and plenty of towing capacity. :)

Considering the work lasted a good 4 months, I was surprised that the neighbor closest to the work never said anything. I let him dump some things in my dumpster and I think that kept him happy. My retired neighbor down the street came by every day to check progress and talk to the crew and/or...

Mr. kidatari has my old workbench which I tore out just before the remodel started. It's 14 feet long, made out of unistrut, with 1/4" steel tops. :D

Who let you in here? :p You should post up pics of that custom workbench you've got. ;)

The sad part is that the old closet was full before she moved in a couple of years ago and my clothes take up 1/2 of the new closet. :( Plus, I have more shoes than she does. :eek:

For the record, here are the second floor changes which were required to appease the wife: ;) Existing second floor floorplan: Planned second floor floorplan:

The original garage space was ~400 sqft. The combined space is now ~1100 sqft. The bay where the lift resides is ~33ft x 15ft (outside dimensions). Existing first floor floorplan: Planned first floor floorplan:

It's the Gladiator series which is available at Lowe's and Sears (cheaper at Lowe's). http://www.gladiatorgw.com/list.asp?catID=1 http://www.gladiatorgw.com/list.asp?catID=6

And my coat rack which my wife got me for Christmas:

Update: This past weekend I finally finished my air distribution system. My compressor has been up and running for a while, along with a nearby hose reel (50') for air tools and filling tires. But I wanted a blowdown station at each workbench. I really didn't want to go to any great expense...

It depends on what you're going to use it for. For my very limited woodwork, the cordless one included in my Ryobi set is fine. For someone that does a lot more woodwork, a nicer corded saw would probably be better.

My 14.4V Dewalt drill just died on me and I didn't want to spend $200 to replace it. I bought the Ryobi set from Home Depot for $100 which included a 5.25" circ saw, 1/2" drill motor, flashlight, and sander, all 18V. I wouldn't build a house with them, but for what I do around the house they...

Winmon, thanks for the PM. It looks like I'll be getting a new switch. Better safe than sorry. As for inspectors, my inspector came for final inspection of my garage addition during the last week of December (it took me that long to get my lighted address numbers). He walked in, put a...
