Thanks for the advice A_Pmech.

I really wanted to put down epoxy. I think I absolutely have too many old oil stains from working on cars in there for the last 15 years. Does everyone love their RaceDeck?

So last Sunday got started on cleaning up the garage. First order of business was to get the ATV'S out of the garage. Decided that they are going to be stored behind the garage. So sent the kids up to pick up one of these.

I forgot to take a picture after we finished dumping the gravel. Next plan of action is to hopefully score some 6' Vinyl fence on CL to enclose the area to keep the neighbors happy.

Good plan! I vote going with just a sealer on the floor... My garage was stained when we bought the house so i just sealed it with clear and it is much better... No more dust when sweeping...

Good luck sir, you definitely have your work cut out for yourself. Try and access everything you have, what you need, where it could fit and get at it.

After work Saturday I grabbed a beer out of my fridge in the garage and turned on the Stereo. Nothing. WTF! So I started looking at the hodge podge that I call a stereo "system". Seems my 30 yr old power supply went on the fritz. Led still lights up but no power. Anybody no anything about fixing a power supply?

So in my haste I jumped on CL and found this for $50! Score!:beer:
View media item 43544Jumped in the car with the wife and 3 month old and picked it up. Like brand new. So I will spend my day off tomorrow ripping out the old 30 yr car stereo stuff and hooking up the new amp. Now I need to find an amp to run my 10" sub.

Well I am guessing Mudfest was a success for the kids. Here is a pic of the Jeep before they left. I will have to post one later of the carnage.
View media item 43405When they came back everything was covered. I had to take Monday Morning off to clean up my mess from the gravel as well as their mud from the street.:mad:

Here is the pic of the back of the garage as of last Sunday. I think it will look pretty good with a 6' vinyl privacy, retaining wall and concrete pad. Found some tan retaining wall blocks on CL that I am going to pickup this Sunday for $2 a piece.

Need a pad poured here as well for the trash cans and my man door.

I have no idea how much it should cost to pour a couple of pads. Any suggestions?

Ohh glad to hear he is going to be ok. I see ramps on ground and atV partway on truck. I presume he took a spill rising up the ramps? Those thing scare the **** out of me! Good luck!

Todd you are correct. That Polaris can be scary to get up ramps. I just rebuilt the motor last year and changed the the primary spring so it revs a little before moving. He knows better now that he needs to have his safety chains attached to tailgate before trying to put it in the bed of his truck. I think his pride is hurt more than anything.
