Oops - Looks like I was supposed to post here first. I apologize.
Found you guys on a lark - had a camera ripped off from inside our garage (yeah, with my Daughter's wedding pics on it). Googled something along the lines of "garage security ideas", and stumbled into this. Good info guys.
Finally figured out how to post pictures, but dragged my feet 'cuz it's not too extravagant. Then I read e-tek's rant on "mortgages". So nothing fancy, but it's all paid for, or as Dave Ramsey would say, "I'm debt free!!!!!"
We have a three stall garage, but it was packed to the gills with a couple cars, boat, kid's bikes, etc.... Where do we put Mrs Sammerdog's summer toy? (....and no, not the poolboy named Pedro). So I poured a pad with a buddy's electric drum mixer doing 80 pound bags of quickcrete - and threw up this with siding to match the house -

The Beetle was a wreck when I got it for the Mrs as a Mother's day present. Heck, on the way home with it, I showed my one Daughter how to pull up on the e-brake in case I fell through the floor pan - yeah, it was that bad. Me and the older boy stripped it down, DA'd the thing, got some new fenders and floor pans, and re-worked the interior. We got it prepped for paint, but I did have a buddy shoot it (I just can't lay base coat/clear coat paints on real well) a Toyota red in DuPont Imron. Bolted it back together and now it's a riot. I sold the rusting bumpers to a friend, and need to get some replacements rounded up, as well as figure out a stinkin' fuel pump issue.
Anyways, not fancy, but the Beetle Building gave me a place to park the Wife's car in the winter, and got me some elbow room in the attached garage where the fun happens.
Thanks again e-tek for letting us small time guys hang out and play with the shooters!
