Wait a minuite! This place looks familar?!?

Falcon67 · Aug 4, 2009

Very nice work! That was an effort. The 7-11 sign is a cool touch. I also like the "saw bench" idea - I'll have to remember that.

Doug I · Aug 4, 2009

Wow....nice redo of space :thumbup:

I'm still kicking it around about removing a wall between my two spaces. If I do, I now have the instructions on how to go about it. One question though and I think it was addressed about 50 pics ago :lol_hitti

Aren't you worried about PVC for airlines? At least it's in the wall if something does happen, but in the event it does, what are your plans then? Run all new on the outside of the wall?
Also what made you decide to go with metal studding vs. wood? I know that in my area metal was starting to catch on for a very short while and a few houses were built using all metal, but then it seemed to die out. Maybe due to the economy and steel prices, IDK. Does the metal floor joist let the floor have any bounce to it, as strong as wood joist, or stronger?

GO for it... it easily added more space (kinda) then you would think!!!

I am not too worried about it... the PVC is rated at well over my working wall pressure... I have a reglator that feeds the wall lines... then if I want full range I just connect straight to the compressor... and as noted before where I got the idea for pvc was my uncle which he has had them in his wall for 10-15 years with NO problems..
and also if i do have issues with it and can pin point where in the wall the problem is I will knock a hole in the wall and repair the pvc.

Side Note here: it was 109 pics ago Kevin :lol:

wood vs steel... hummm

steel personally I would rather work with MUCH easier in most cases here to deal with. my reason for going with the steel was price

Kevin54 said:

now that you mention that the floor does have a little bit of bounce to it... but i really dot think the wood would change that... most ALL of the steel studs used were 18-14 gauge steel... not the flimsy **** from HD or lowes :lol_hitti

Your space is 'just right' in so many ways :thumbup:

And the 7-11 and exit signs just seal the deal!

Great addition, too, buddy!!! :beer:

thanks guys!!!

as for the seven eleven sign i have had it for years my uncle got maybe 10 or so of the sign and a bunch of us each got one... to bad my clock part stopped working on it...

and the toilet sign I found before my garage edition was even a idea... I just KNEW I would have a urinal

vettesplus · Aug 12, 2009

is the toilet for real??? :lol_hitti

imahemi · Aug 12, 2009

vettesplus said:

correct... it is for real,it drains into a 5 gallon bucket that has charcoal in it and holes drilled all around the bottom and sides... then i just have the crystal like toilet sanitizer thingys laying in the funnel to keep it from smelling back into the garage...

imahemi · Aug 19, 2009

bump... just because

so its a no.1 only then i take it.... thats a ****** good idea... i hate trying to sneak in to the house at 2am to take a leak, only to have the dog wake up and go mental.. or i have to go outside and quietly try to relieve myself... youd be suprised how loud such actions are when its dead silent and dead still at 2am.

imahemi · Sep 28, 2009

a quick update of a couple things I have been up too...

first I closed in the garage entry... added a floor to the area because you already had to step up to get out or into the garage...

next I finally finished up the wall in the added part...

added a channel for my winter insulation to fit into for air gaps

more pics of this later when I put the insulation panel up for the winter...

then I painted the pocket door to blend into the wall

finally next years potential space :bounce:

imahemi · Dec 16, 2009

middle of winter bump!!!

nothing going on garage mod wise... just some parked vehicles... lol :mrgreen:

Were those airlines PVC???

kizer · Mar 28, 2010

santagary said:

Yep he is.

I have 1/2 PVC lines in my garage as well. I think mine are rated to 300 PSI or something like that, which is Water PSI not air, but none the less. They get a bad rap because they explode. However I've never personally seen one explode. I however have seen them split and leak, which is typically because of a bad glue job, but never explode. Your running these lines at what 100 to 135 PSI max? Unless you have an output of 175PSI or something crazy. Mine is normally regulated at 100PSI.

Most building officials frown at them, but until you can buy black iron or that cheaper Aluminum stuff for .25cents a foot I don't personally see desire to spend the big bucks.

pacmktg · Mar 28, 2010

I know this has been beat to death but I do not see a problem with PVC inside a wall. The danger from PVC is not that is just spontaneously explodes. The danger is it being hit with something and then goin BAM and sending shrapnel everywhere. Can't do it encased in the wall.

jktruck150 · Mar 29, 2010

That is a sweet place! You have done a great job! I really like all the signs and such!

DanD1 · Mar 29, 2010

Wow! You have done a great job. :thumbup:

Would you mind stopping by my garage and doing a little work? You should be done in about six months :bounce:

thanks.. yeah this has been a bit of a continuous project, looking back i might have concidered extending that entry bump out the full length of the garage. but now that the roof and stuff is complete i will just have to add that shed for extra room...

and i will be right over in a couple years... hahah

Malcolm · Apr 6, 2010

Very nice!!

Malcolm... uh, errr Nick.

Hey Ryan, I live in Bellevue. Just curious what part of Omaha you are in. I don't expect you to post your address, just curious as to the general part of town. Most of the houses in your pics look older.

Thanks!
Dave in Bellevue.
