No house, garage or car related updates....the wife and I just got back from our honeymoon. I can honestly say I think this is close to one of the longest vacations/time off work I've ever had.
We went to Steamboat Springs, CO; got a little ski in/ski out (more ski in than out lol), right on the mountain, super convenient to the base area and the cool spot for après after a long day!
Here is the view from our balcony

The misses and I somewhere on the mtn, was a great second day, blue skies for most of it...
Steamboat’23 by fouckhest, on Flickr
On our last full day there we booked the shuttle up to the hot springs, would HIGHLY recommend doing this if you are ever in steamboat, such a great experience, we had the first (9am) shuttle, had the place to ourselves for ~30min of the 1.5hr time there.
There is a natural hot spring (~150° water) that feeds down into 3 different hot springs that they control the temperature, hot/med/mild....This was a great way to recover from 2 days skiing for sure!

NICE! I've never done the hot springs but I will now based on your report! The 'boat has huge snow this year. Christmas Tree was one of the first legitimate double blacks I skied out west. I was just in Summit county (4 days: Breck, Keystone, Copper & Vail) last week.
Thats awesome you were out there, conditions are insane this year, one of those years that makes me wish I could spend more time out there...I need to capitalize on this work from home job better lol!
Hot springs are definitely a must do!
Had some folks over this weekend for a little chili cookoff, my buddies shop used to host it for the local PCA group, but didn't this year, so we hosted our friends that would have normally attended as the non-PCA members, "riff raff" as we call ourselves 
Gave me a good excuse to clean up the garage and move around my welding table and saws....might have to make this a quarterly thing to make sure the shop stays clean

Been a busy few weeks of more work travel....latest project has been refinishing the BBS e88 for the Cayman. When I bought the wheels, when I bought the car, it was too good of a deal to pass up, but always disliked the black centers....Finally took the time to have the centers powder coated and OEM'ish silver, then added the center caps and rings....

Those wheels look amazing!!!
They are so pricey now (if you can find them in stock); not that they were ever cheap.

Thanks guys, it certainly makes me feel like the car is finally "mine"
@Trapps I certainly bought them at the right time, I think being 986/987 spec helped a lot, but I've definitely seen 911 spec sets sell for way more than I could ever palet!!
Some weekends don't work out exactly like you planned....but anytime you end up with an impromptu garage thrash session its a good use of time/space...
Long story short, Saturday, I was working on hanging the TV in the garage, over complicating it as usual, lol.....got a call that a buddies car wouldnt go into gear while running and he was and the drive was far too far to risk slamming gears....so favors called in, another buddy was dispatched with truck & trailer, hauled his mk2 gti to my house and we set forth on getting ready to get the gearbox out...got the car prepped Saturday afternoon, started back on it about 10am yesterday....took a little longer than expected to get the gear box out, but once we did it was relatively straight forward....found that the plate that engages the clutch had failed...its a curious setup, but apparently a known issue with certain older vw clutch setups
Quick recap....TV hung

Unfortunately no more photos right now, haven't had time, hopefully soon....they are a very track friendly offset, I put a 15mm (i think) spacer on the back, but it rubbed up in the mtns, so off they came....probably going to a 265 in the rear vs 275 now, so that might allow the spacers to work with a minor fender roll
Here are the specs:
18" x 9" 50mm offset,
18" x 10" 38mm offset

It sounds like you guys like using your new space for entertainment. Planning on more furniture or a bar?

Thanks for sure...she is still on the fence about it, but its a good career move for now....
Not sure what the space will become, likely not more furniture b/c originally this was supposed to be where we quarantine the dogs when we want to escape them....however, that hasn't really been the case....Ideally, I need to get the french drain done in the front of the house so I can put flooring down here, then it would be come more lounge than anything. I would like to maintain the ability to pull a car in here if the need were to arise....mainly hail storm or going out of town for an extended time.
Had a relatively productive weekend, got the PDK service done on my Cayman, now it should be ready for my trip up to ToD next week, super excited for that!

Beside some house chores spent most of my free time working on the speaker box for the silver GTi. This has been a fun project and have picked up quite a few fun tips/tricks along the way thanks to the interwebz, lol! In all honesty, I have picked up a couple cool tricks on building boxes like this....
Here is the box mostly assembled, got the top laid out....next step will be to figure out how to use this cool little circle template for the router and start cutting the holes...
Basic idea of how it will look....there will be covers that go from edge to edge

More details on the mason jars for the carpenter bees please! Mine are awake from their winter slumber.
Sure!
I looked at a few different DIYs, this one seemed pretty simple....
How to Make A Homemade Carpenter Bee Trap in 10 Minutes - Stoney Creek Farm
Carpenter Bees are industrious insects and can drill hundreds of holes in the wood on your home and barn in search of a place to lay their eggs. The damage...
stoneycreekfarmtennessee.com
its pretty straight forward, one big hole (I used a 7/8" paddle bit) up the center of a chunk of 4x4, then 3x 1/2 holes going in/up at a 45° angle to intersect the big hole...I started with a 7" block
I snagged this 4pk of cheap mason jars from amazon, cut a hole in the top using a hole saw and screwed the lid to the base and screwed a hook to the top and one into where I was hanging them...
This is the one I hung in the roof by my shed....no tenants yet, but the bees loved this area last summer...hoping this gets some action!

Thanks! We've been living with these a-holes for 19 years now. Never knew I had options. Just knew I didn't want to even entertain a price from an exterminator/bug guy, given how many of them there are on my place.
It can be entertaining to take a tennis racket out to them every now and again though.

Jasper Circle Guide for Routers, this thing ROCKS! Highly recommend....did a couple practice cuts to get the feel for it and to ensure the correct diameter for the sub....have to admit, its cool and nice to be able to cut a 9-1/16" diameter hole!

Used one of the practice pieces to practice again with a roundover bit on the router, definitely gives it a nice finished look around the sub

Then had a little extra time so started working on side panels....still debating if I make these out of 1/2" or stick with 3/4.....final product will fit under that side panel flange

Untitled by fouckhest, on FlickrIn this weeks installment of how can I over-complicate a project....Lets build the wife a raised garden bed!
The misses wants to plant a small garden, mostly herbs and such, between living in an old neighborhood with lots of big trees, layout of my lot and a gaggle of hounds, the backyard didn't really lend itself to a great place for a bed that got both good sunlight and was easy to keep said hounds out....
So we have my latest project. Looking at "off the shelf" solutions, it was either plastic, which I am not a fan of for longevity or if it was a prebuilt wood kit, the size to cost didn't really impress me, especially given the price point
I decided to start with a 2x2x8 galvanized water trough
Raised bed by fouckhest, on Flickr
Guess I forgot to snap a photo of all the lumber in the back of the truck....but doing with a 2x6 surround, 2x4 inside those to act as supports, then 4x4 legs.
Racecar water trough lol
Raised bed by fouckhest, on Flickr
Noodled on how to build it, but landed on starting with the ends to get the legs parallel here to start, then added the sides...
Raised bed by fouckhest, on Flickr
Finished product, I will drill a series of small'ish holes (~1/2" and maybe some 1-1/2", depending on what hole saws i have laying around), in the bottom to allow for good drainage. The bottom will be filled with scrap wood from whatever has been falling out of the trees, probably start with some bigger "firewood" size, then twigs/sticks, then garden/potting soil on top of that. Hopefully we will get some goods out of all this effort, lol

Awesome thread! What do you use to keep the BBS shiny? Mine on my Volvo are time intensive and a lot of work just to keep looking decent. Ceramics and others don't really last after a polish (Wenol)
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
The centers of the wheels are powder coated/cleared, with ceramic coating on them....The lips are raw, I recently re-polished them with a Zephyr polish kit, then coated them with this:
This was my first real outing with them, I am curious to see how they hold up after some more driving....I have used that same coating on another car with polished wheels, it has held up pretty well, but I do not like cleaning cars/wheels, etc, so I dont pay them much attention lol

Ok cool - just bought some, hear Chem guys make good stuff. Like one outing and any bit of rain the pitting sets in...then its like full polish time again.
oh no, that certainly doesnt happen i did the same polishing process and coating on my other car ~2yrs ago and they have held up rather well...they need a good cleaning, but no pitting
love the wagon, especially on RSs! I have a soft spot for that wheel...I have a custom built set of 19" super RSs for my widebody car....
