What does your garage look like??

[Lippyp]

Mines a total mess as I just chucked a load of tools from my trailer into the garage after our summer trip to our holiday home in France and then had to shift a load of stuff around so I could get my new wider ride-on mower in so you can't walk in there. I need to find an hour tomorrow to put stuff away.

Mines a lot better now, spent about four or five hours over tha least two days having a tidy-up, putting up some new signs and finally filling the hole I dug in the floor to feed in the electrricity feed, even relaid the old blue engineering bricks over the hole, had to cut one, man they're hard, a diamond blade in my 4.5" angle grinder barely touched it, just got red hot. Next step is electrics, lighting especially.

Should we be scared if lomo takes over the world???

You'd be wise to...

Actually, I would be quite a benevolent and fair Supreme Leader... We'd return to the days of an eye-for-an-eye, cutting the hands off of thieves, and letting disputes be resolved in the good ol' fashioned game of drawing out in the middle of town square.

Let's bring back public stonings and extreme forms of retribution for people convicted of violent crimes. **** someone and you'll get the Vlad the Impaler treatment. Each one will be bronzed and mounted on every road leading into the towns as a warning to others.

How about the Scarlett Letter for tool brand fanboys, too? If you're caught using a tool from a brand you've bashed online, you have to forever wear their logo on your clothing...

Who's with me???

You better! He will ban any and all Duck Faces!

And yes, the duck must go.

If thats what you want then you could just move to Iran!

With regards to the Scarlet letter, a red A should no longer mean Adulterer but should be used to denote an Apple Fan Boi, you know the type who have an iphone, ipad, imac, itoilet, ipants, iwife etc etc

Haven't done anything to ours since we moved in about 6 months ago. It's actually a carriage house that matches the construction of our house. Both built in 1901 and both made out of limestone. The only difference in costruction is the house has wood framing and the carriage house is solid limestone block with the exception of the interior joists, flooring, lathe boards and rafters.

The floor in the garage bay is concrete but is totally destroyed and will have to come up eventually to be replace with new. The electrical situation when I got the place was pretty jinky. The garage sits about 80 feet back from our house. Our meter base is located on the back side of the carriage house and power runs underground to our panel in the basement. The power to the carriage house was provided by (2) 12-2 wires bundled inside conduit and ran from the house back out to the carriage house. All of that was removed and a new disconnect box was installed that is expandable so that I can have a 200A panel in the garage bay. right now it's got a temp. feed from the disconnect so that I can power the door openers and the solitary light.

It originally had "carriage house style doors" that swung open but were changed out sometime in the 1950's and undoubtedly updated after that as well. There is also a bump-out that used to house a toilet that is no longer there but the cast iron vent stack is. It also has a 2nd story that has two rooms. One room is open at the top of the stairs and the other has an access door. The original natural gas piping and gas lamps are still present which I thought was pretty cool. Another cool feature is the chimney. It's unlined brick and will need a stainles liner but I can't wait to get an old-school woodstove out there!

We are still working on the house proper and it will probably be a year or so untill I start doing work on the garage (unfortunately).

That looks like it could have much potiential

Do you plan on thawing out the neighborhood with that stove? I would guess that a few logs is gonna raise the temps up to where your working in shorts and no shirt in the dead of winter

Mass confusion...

Now that is one cool garage, I love old buildings and that has so much potential. My own garage is at leats that old and probably a biut older but it started out life as a cow shed not a posh carriage house, you have to do a build thread on yours.

MMMM superbird details? I have a alpine white V code 4 speed car in my garage

I WISH I had a real Superbird, I love those things.

The nose cone is a Ted Janek fiberglass one. I have almost all of what I need to convert my Charger to a Daytona. The only things left to get are the windshield pillar covers & one of the fender top vents. (one was missing when I bought a package deal of parts.) I have a 440 to put in it, a 727 floor shift trans, & not sure which rear yet, an 8-3/4 or a Dana 60.


By the way, a friend of mine has an Alpine White, 440-4V, 4-speed Superbird that was just redone about a year ago, & a matching numbers one that's a V code in Lime that needs a full resto. He's had both since the 70's.

the one in my garage is a shell all the rest is in my buddys basement its a huge project, he gotta finish the daytona hes restoring before he starts the superbird

If it's okay with you, he can start on my Daytona before your Superbird. May as well keep it alphabetical…..LOL

Here's a couple of recent exterior pics of the house and a couple of historic pics that we dug up from our historical museum and newspaper. I was told by a family member that The car in the last B&W picture is a Stutz Bearcat. The house was owned by the same family from 1901-2011. The original owner/builder was a German imigrant who came to the US (Chicago) to work in the limestone business. He and his cousin moved down from Chicago to Bedford, IN and opened a stone mill that operated at least 2 quarries.

The house was wood framed using native lumber and was clad with 10" thick limestone blocks. The Carriage House was not "electrified" but the house was wired from the get-go with Knob & Tube. I was told that the owner had an electrician travel all the way from Chicago to Southern Indiana to wire the house!

Only done about a year now, getting ribbed as it's still too clean. I've done many smaller projects so far, but will be a "working garage" soon when I yank the motor and re-detail the engine compartment in the Goat. Right now my daughter's Mini is in for some light engine maintenance.

MaxJax is on the agenda
