Garage Build (Pennsylvania)

Video of my truck in before raising up on the lift. I'm glad we put it where we did. It's very easy to pull in and out.

Awesome man! Looking good. Which ceiling fans are those? Is it on a fan controller or a switch?

Really nice! What are those metal tabs on your roof, do they have something to do with ice/snow?

I'm actually not sure on the make of the fans. They are both on a single controller that is adjustable. I love it. They move a decent amount of air.

That is exactly correct. They r so we don't have a sheet of ice take something out. Haha. [emoji16]

Haven't posted in a while. Figured I would give an update.
Until we plumb the whole garage for air, I welded 2 plates to the shelf and installed a hose reel and regulator for now.









I also purchased a benchtop grinder and bolted it to the welding table.

Beautiful build and excellent documentary!! Your builder should post your garage on his website. I'm in the beginning stages of planning a build and going to talk with your builder to see if they do any work in Maryland.

Thank you Dan!

Yes, I agree they did a great job on the build. The attention to detail from the team was wonderful. [emoji1303]

I believe our building will go up on the website as soon as we get some grass around it. We got lazy after they finished. [emoji16]

Picked up a new project today for my wife, Dad and myself to work on.

We took an old farm truck from my wife's grandfather's farm and are going to fix it up. Pictures of the farm and our "new" truck below!

Tore into the truck this weekend. Engine still won't turn over and stay running. I have replaced most of the ignition system and I have spark. Next weekend the fuel lines, fuel filter, and pump will be replaced.
Also tore out all the carpet and order two new floor panels to weld in. There are just a few small rust holes...
Lol!

Wow, great looking garage(s)!

Going a bit off topic here... Couldn't help but notice you said you work with software in the healthcare industry. Mind if I ask what type of software? Some sort of medical specific software, or like an ERP? Just wondering as I'm in the same line of work, although not in healthcare.

RE: Truck won't run.....LA Mopar mechanical fuel pumps run off an eccentric on the cam gear. Bolt can come loose, shearing keyway on that uber important last 1/8" of contact area. If you pull the pump, check it.

Hey! Thank you!

I work with Epic software. We are implementing it at the organization I work for in PA. It is similar to Cerner.

Updates!

Truck now has new mechanical pump, new 3/8" lines, new sending unit, and a new filter.
I also just finished cleaning-up the frame and coating with POR-15.
I have one floor pan left to weld in.
Hoping to start the truck tomorrow!

Nice garage. I didn't catch who you had build it. I'm in the Hanover area.
