Hello everyone,
So, I have been dreaming about building a dream garage - something that can hold 5-6 cars comfortably with a loft and a lift - you know - a place you would never want to leave. Anyhoo, I was hunting the internet for weeks, and I finally found this place.
This is an outstanding forum - lots of awesome DIYers and fellow hobbyists! I just wanted to come say hello and introduce myself. I work at WPAFB as a developmental engineer - earned my EE from the University of West Florida (UWF), and am currently about to enter my 2nd of 4 years as a 2Lt.
My fiancee' (one e or two, I dunno) loves cars, tools, guns, pinball, and other such fun goodies - and she's about to get her EE from UWF as well - we actually met in Engineering Economy and got together in summer 2010. She'll be moving on up here to Dayton this summer.
Anyhoo, we are and plan on being DINKS (Double Income No Kids); we cordially say that our cars are our kids. She has a 2006 Ford Mustang that she loves and does most her own work on. I have my 94 Nissan XE truck that I've had since high school, and I continually restore and own a 1981 DeLorean - both of which I do my own work on. Had the Nissan since 1998 and the DeLorean since 2003. Our dreams are to have a garage that's about 3000-5000 sq feet with a lift and a 2nd floor loft/kitchen area. For cars, we want to acquire a 1972 Cadillac El Dorado, a 1967 Chevy Impala, and build a 1963-1965 Shelby Cobra and a ratrod of some sort like a 22 T-bucket or a chopped 1930 Ford Model A.
One day at a time; we have lofty dreams, and we know it's "one day at a time."
Anyhoo, I am at the base right now so I cannot share/post pictures here, but I will later as there are a BUNCH of topics I have been reading here and want to join in on, and I know I hit the motherload of great knowledge for everything garage related!
Cheers!
