So I started to move stuff back into the garage over the last few days. A 50 pack of basic metal hooks arrived for the slatwall enabling to put some of my bulkier items up there... clamps, saws, level, etc. I mounted two fire extinguishers on either side of the garage, one on the slatwall and another in between the two bay doors.
I also mounted up this sweet vintage '36-'51 7up bottle opener with their original slogan "you like it, it likes you". (whatever the hell that means). The previous owner left it on the bench that was in here. I have an old school coke opener too... I may mount that one somewhere else convenient.
Another project planned for this week is to turn my old mustang wheel that got curb rashed like 6yrs ago into a sweet *** hose holder. I devised a way to attach a wheel to a 4x4 piece of lumber using bolts and lug nuts. The 4x4 will get attached to some plywood that I'll be attaching to the concrete wall. Should be pretty sweet!
I touched up the blue paint from where the epoxy hit it. I may go over one more time and call it good enough.
I may wait to do this one... but I plan on putting some in hard air lines from some location down to above the workbench, and another drop over in between the bay doors. I need to get a final resting spot for the compressor picked out and i'll hard line it in. Of course I'll be installing a water filter as well as valves on each drop to drain any condensation. I've been looking at options, and it seems like copper is the best bet here.
Careful how you do that. Most tint makes it easy for the bad guys to see inside if you're in there working with the lights on, and really hard for you to see them! I used mini blinds and that seems to work well, while letting in light during the day. Just a thought. You've done a great job there!
I thought about that too. If someone is gonna break in, they just will when I'm not home. Its more about preventing people from seeing whats inside, and preventing the random person on the sidewalk seeing me scratch my balls or some ****. Mini blinds are a good idea, but much more pricey than a $30 pack of privacy film. I would need 6 miniblinds, and they would have to be down all the time. They also have a knack for collecting dust....
