Redoing Dad's Garage

The lighting is great with high ceiling you get better coverage.

got the underground wire in. This will also support the house when built.....

Can you get me the make and model of that meter base? I need one like that, but having trouble finding one.

Great idea..... I love it, but could use a few more "tools" in that cabinet.

This is just what I had handy, most of it is still in storage.....

Those meter sockets are like gold! I have been waiting months to get one. Place looks awesome! Hello from another Masshole!

 

[Jim1932]

Well the heat is in, but waiting for electrician to connect power.

Oh and they boxed in the metal frame on the end... I will leave the main beam in the middle exposed. That way I can easily hang stuff from it.

And I now have security cam.

Haven't posted in a while. Garage is getting functional. I love the wall control peg/slot boards. I put the floor down in the office and moved the old run in shed form the back to the side to use for a wood shed.

biggest issue so far it not letting the rough cut lumber age enough before building

Love the night time photo with the Christmas lights.

Been too lazy on finishing repainting the exposed main beam black. Finally got that half empty enough and painted. Discoverd the Cuckler plaques still had plastic over them.

Your labors have turned that building into a "rustic" masterpiece. I'm jealous of the end product, but don't have the time, talents or patience to put in your volume of elbow-grease. Congratulations.

Most of the "Talent" part was done after hours by two local guys. My Vision, thier talent.

Sure, but you still elbow-greased the hell out of it. I'm too soft for that in my current life-stage.
