New 30x48 garage

[600SL]

The shop looks great. Cars look great. But... How is the concrete pad holding up?
P.S. Your mini fridge looks great. Nice variety.

Concrete is holding for the moment except for the patches he put in to try to level it. Biggest problem is the low spots where water pools and the fact that the patches look really ugly. Going on its third winter now.

Nice work on the shop and the tool setup.
I like the way you added the casters to the saw.
Judging from your tool list (plasma cutter), I'm guessing you do more than just general maintenance on your cars?
Merry Christmas!

600SL, what is that thing on the roof? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

That's a ridge vent. It can be opened and closed.

That saw is one of the most useful tools I have. Getting wheels on everything makes cleaning a lot easier and doesn't leave rust spots on the floors after washing them.

You can visit this sight to see what I do in my garage.

You have a very nice shop! How is the interior noise with metal on the walls? Thank you.

Sorry I haven't responded to this post sooner. I don't notice anything unusual with the metal panels. Nor did I notice a difference in the shop noise before I put them up. They don't rattle or any thing like that. But I'm sure that is I were to measure noise with a sound meter while using a chop saw it would come up higher with the metal walls in place.

I am very sensitive to noise which is why I put my compressor outside.

At this time I just installed a 3.5 ton 16 Seer Goodman heat pump. With that complete I believe the garage is officially finished.

It took me a couple of minutes suffering through a little Deja'-Vu to remember Sampson...from Benzworld.org. Love the garage. Envious and then some.
