Looks great Big Dog!!

Although I think you built it too small.............

K

Biggest the wallet would spare while maintaining the allure. The location doesn't allow for anything larger either.

No doubt, it's going to be full with vehicles if I choose but the upstairs is going to be an equalizer!

Damn, looking good. Having the doors up at night will block some of the light but I don't think it'll hurt you at all. Looks like there is excess cord to drop a few of them in certain areas if you need it.

Almost time for the beer and dancing girls.
Heck yeah! I'd drink to that. :beer: :D

Very nice Dawg. So, how is the upstairs going to be the equalizer? Are you saying Cheryl is going to take it over and make you pay dearly? :yum:

Started doing some moving tonight ............ 2 tool chest, air compressor, generator, pressure washer, fridge, microwave, yard tools, dollie, and jacks.

Still have the Harley, 1/2 ton of lead, shelving, reloading bench/presses, and lots of filled storage boxes. When I worked away from home I collected home stuffs from every stop. I think I need to have a "garage sale" ...... :yum:

Question... Why are there no floor drains?

There are 3, one for each bay approximately 14' from the garage door fronts. Here's 2 ........

Looking real good Greg.

Amazing how fast they fill up, isn't it?

Real quick as I don't want to sidetrack your thread, how do you like that tow behind spreader for your ATV? I bought what I believe to be the same one from TSC a couple months ago but haven't used it yet. Anything to watch out for? Does it spread evenly?

My experience is that any single spreader will favor one side more than the other.

My experience is that any single spreader will favor one side more than the other.

We've had that spreader for about 5 years and works great. The drop holes are configured for even distribution (6 holes in circumference) so I haven't experienced a one sided distribution. I do know that spreading weed and feed on a setting of 3 at 6-8 mph gives me a nice 12-14' swath. Grass at a setting of 5 at the same speed opens it up to about 16-18'. It's earned it's keep!!!

Warning, once you open the gate get going or you'll drop a bunch were you set. I reach back and open after moving. Sometimes tricky!

IMHO (OK, in my neighborhood), His fridge constitutes almost empty...

BTW BD, Did you pull wires for speakers throughout the place? I thought you said Yes in a previous post but this thread is too long for me to go back and re-read.

I also figured you for a Reznor kind of guy since they're local to your area.

I promise, I'll do better ...... :biggrin:

No, I didn't but I don't see that as an issue. I have a Sirius boom box that is performing beautifully. The acoustics in the garage are as good as the old Stanley Theater ......... :brows:

The Mr. Heaters were purchased based on reviews and cost. First test saw good results, we'll see come Winter ........ I will say they are very quiet!
