I agree with Jo Diesel, get all the wiring and then some done now, I would have him just get it into the garage and MAYBE do the outlets but leave the lights and the finishing until I had a better idea of how I want my work space laid out then run the interior cable runs myself. Not sure about...

Stunning all the way around sir, I'm in awe. I can only fantasize about a shop as nice and well thought out, well executed and comfortable as what youve accomplished. Just Stunning... Thank you for sharing with us... An Aside, Reality Rides TV show on Rev'n TV and perhaps on Velocity (I dont...

A rancher who leases pasture from my wife's family had his ATV stolen from inside his barn while he was home, a good 1/4 mile out to the road, with dogs and an ....'ornery' reputation who is armed at home wasnt a deterrent... then there is this situation...

incredible! I am envious of the 'before' much less the end state....

Is that real grass or synthetic? The only grass I see that looks like that is synthetic, not trying to be a smarta.., I know that the synthetics require some compaction under the installation which may be part of the problem as well. Depending on whether significant rainfall is the norm or an...

On a less positive but still surprising note was a 14" harbor Freight chop saw, it worked marginally when new and lasted virtually no time before it completely quit. It now works intermittantly when it wants to but still cuts very poorly. I wish i could make myself throw it out but it remains in...

fwiw, reworked it to move the foot away from the vehicle to reduce twist

Thats the set up I tried to copy from memory, they have a very nice product but IIRC retail was over a grand several years ago which put it out of my arena

Its going to be an awesome build but I got to say, that kind of zoning enforcement would have me over the edge, it's nuts if the neighbors dont object and future neighbors see what they have to live next to before they buy. I'd have left the old footing as long as possible as a monument to...

Awesome, way nicer than my house in fact, you wouldnt be in the market to adopt a new son to go jeeping with would you? I'll being my own jeep (82 Scrambler) and can live in the garage.....

Thanks, I was thinking around that gauge but hadnt worked it out. The stand alone battery is another idea to consider. At least for the truck, the Jeep is getting winch power to the back anyway so i can use that. Bummer about the mice, my mother in laws car needs a new #1 spark plug wire every...

Nice compressor at a great price!

very nice!! doing a roll up or garage door on the big hole or something else?

Yeah, if I used it more frequently I'd do the same, the hand winch is really not of much value as the few times I've used it I ended up lifting via the hydraulics more than the cable. What gauge wire did you end up running for power?

will you please come do something with mine? Very nice

I have one of the HF units with the crank winch but since I usually have a topper on the truck, rather than mount it to the bed I built a hitch receiver mount for it akin to a unit I had seen several years ago. Essentially it goes in the hitch with the hoist off to the edge of the bed with a leg...

Curious if you are at liberty to talk about the insurance company and how the fire might have been prevented, if it could have been, yet? I have no shop but an attached garage for storage, not work, and sure would hate to go through what you have if I could better minimize my own risk Thanks

I, too, have just read through the entire thread for the first time and echo the sentiments of others. I Hope you can get the closure you need to put this ordeal behind you. We had a large forest fire get into town 11 years ago which burned 400 odd homes, countless cars, boats, etc and the...

I like but maybe some rat poison on the hooks to encourage the bleed out

several years ago some naer-do-wells tried to steal the wheels and tires off our full sized jeep wagon while the wife and kids were at teh mall, they apparently were scared off midway through so one wheel and tire fell off coming down a pass in Colorado on their way home, messed up the side of...
