That's what I said after we had a crew pour the 14X35 foot slab next to the house for our 5th wheel camper... There is no way I could have done it by myself.

TimeWarp - What do you use to strip paint off the vehicles?

zaxdad: I asked a similar question last month and got a lot of great ideas and input You might want to read over the thread - http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75327 Good Luck Jerrald

When we bought our house from my wife's grandparents 11 years, a LOT of things stayed with the house (JD 111 Riding mower, Hawk scroll saw, Lots of pack-rat junk:rant:, etc..) and one of the things was a nice 3-1/2 ton NAPA FJ. Through the years of me using it, the hydraulics have stopped...

Looks Great! You did a heck of a job on the art work! All my wall have something hanging off them (Shelves, Cabinets etc) or I'd do some artwork like yours and many others here! Again great transformation!

Hey CG, Did you get to make it down to our All Truck Nations last weekend? You're club had a great showing of trucks!

Here is my shop foreman and union stewart, Matoska and Kolaluta. They're the Brothers Chow. Matoska (Lakota for "White Bear") and Kolaluta (Lakota for "Red Friend") will be 2 years old January 2nd and are from the same litter. They go nuts when they hear the dually fire up, because they think...

Just thought I'd share where I go to look for things when I'm doing projects in the shops. We've got a Habitat For Humanity store that is 20 minutes from the house. It's called "Restore" and you can pick up new and used items like cabinets, doors, windows etc. for REALLY cheap prices. It's all...

Darren - What part of KC? We're in Raytown (or Rat Town as I call it from time to time) Looks like you got a great starter project there. Welcome to the forum, these guys are a fountain of information. Jerrald

so is everything moving forward or are you going to shorten the garage? I love it when the guys in the office say one thing and the field inspectors say another. I too like the artist rendering.. Looks like when I play in photoshop!!!

I'll have to agree with everyone about tools have to be in their place. If you look in several of the photo's I posted you'll see what my friends affectionately call the "red wall". It's the large Kennedy roller cabinet with middle and top box, 7 foot tall and 5 foot wide. It holds all of my...

oh yeah... The wife has her own garage that her car sits in as well as houses her glass studio. She has never attempted to venture into my side!!

Well guys, I got more cleaning done today. The clutter is getting under control. I'm going to build a "loft" of sorts over the main door to store things like my workmate and folding saw horses. to answer some of mpire's bullet points, Painting the floor never was my cup of tea. I'd be afraid of...

I ran our NG line from the basement up into the garage to supply our ventless heater one weekend. I cut and threaded all the pipe myself, used pipe "dope" on all the joints and then soap tested everything for 2 days before turning on the heater. It's been up and running now for 3 years. All it...

I installed a 5000 btu widow air unit in the shop last month to help with the 90+ degree afternoon heat. I didn't care to much that it either had to run all the time or I had to go out of a morning and turn it on to start the cooling process. After some web searching I came across this...

Those are some REALLY COOL wood lockers! Looks like a great project in the making

WOW! Thanks for all the input everyone. This is one of the things that impressed me about this forum over others, loads of information that everyone is willing to share. I will have to confess that a year ago, my shop was a storage area for a S-10 project that the city told me couldn't sit...

I also forgot to add that in the picture where it looks like a huge empty wall space is where our new CNC mill is going to sit. Thanks for the input so far, guys.

I've been a member for a couple of weeks now and it baffles me how everyone keeps their shops clutter free. How do you all do it? I've attached photo's of my shop. The first one is what it looked like on the 15th of July when I brought our new mill/lathe combo home and then the rest of them are...

Hello all: Found this forum and I must say it has been most helpful so far (I've only began to really search through the posts):bowdown:. I hail from Raytown, Missouri - A suburb of Kansas City. Been converting my single car garage into a mini machine shop over the last month with LOTS more...
