A present for Dad..

[susko]

My folks went away on vacation and I wanted to surprise my dad with a little DIY project. About 100 hours total, no one to help :tard:

Floor is GarageTrac
Everything else is from Lowes and Amazon (took advantage of black friday)

There they are. Looks great. Should be a nice surprise when he gets back.

So what happened to the big screen?

I agree!! Would look way cooler with a Red Wings flag there!!

But the rest of the work looks awesome!! I would flip the first time I pushed that garage door opener button...great work!!!

Are you up for adoption by chance??

 

[Tjc]

Does he use those bikes often? For a little more floor space i would hang them with those rubber coated hooks. The garage came out very nice btw. Next time im going on vacation ill be sure to leave you keys

 

[mdkingsley]

Might not think he has the right house

Looks Great. I'm curious about the axes on the wall.

It is a shepherd's axe, a part of slovak folk culture.

Actually, I think I may be your real father. What is your Mom's name? I'll email you my address and the access code for the garage...

 

[Kevin54]

Wow!!!!!! You did great. If dear 'ole dad and mom doesn't appreciate that, then nothing will.

I agree, you need to capture the expression on his face when he opens the garage door for sure.

 

[thundermug]

Great work. I would love to do this for my dad....but it requires two things that I don't have. Time and money.

 

[Hawk]

Take this in the spirit intended. Your Father *****

(Meaning he got a Great deal in a son.)

I'd love to do it as well, but I'm missing the other ingredient....Dad

 

[susko]

Thanks guys. I'll try and record the surprise tomorrow

 

[wdrumheller]

The containers... are they labeled?

I too want to see the reaction!

I did this to a basement for a friend of mine once and he almost had tears. Let me see if I can find pictures to post.

I'm pleased and proud for both of you, I can only imagine his reaction.
