Howdy,
Phil, the concrete is already poured here... :-) The floor is flat, with a slope toward the door. If I'm going to do stuff where I'd like the car level (weights primarily... I'm not as concerned about secondary effects for alignments I don't thin), I'll space up the back pads. Mark edit: I won't be painting the floor until spring... I want to be sure it cures completely and the concrete guy (who also does decorative stuff, so he's familier with this kinda thing) seemed to think that would be best for an epoxy covering...

QUOTE (CrashTestDummy @ Dec 14 2006, 02:05 PM) I finally got the quote on our shop. 5000 sq ft, with 1000 sq ft 'apartment' on 2nd floor, built in an empty field - $166K. Gotta figure out how we're going to finance that. Shop? That sounds like a house to me.

Dak R/T, and the 'apartment' will also house her scrapbooking hobby stuff. THAT'S how you get them to buy off on it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

every time I read an update I'm pretty darned amused, but I'll be damned if this isn't as bad as the Sopranos , is the next update going to be soon or are we going have to wait 4 months to a year? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Howdy,
Gene's not far wrong... Hopefully the next update won't be quite so long. The ceiling height is around 9'. Its enough that a lift would help for sure, but its not enough to raise a car high enough to walk under it. I'd get one mostly to eventually use in the Garage Mahal. I'm not really sure yet if I want to consume the space in this 'temporary' garage with one. Mark |

Nice work! I hate garage doors. All of my experience with them involves messing around for several hours cursing and not actually getting the thing straightened out followed by calling in a pro and drinking an beer. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cool! Nice writeup. As for the trim, I will probably try some Hardy Plank when we go to replace the now rotted pressuretreated wood surrounding our garage. It takes some special blades to cut, but hey, any job worth doing is worth getting new tools for, right?
Scrap wood on the front porch = wood for the concrete forms for the shop. Right? ;-) |

My father-in-law owns a garage door business, and I bet that 30 minutes is for 2-3 guys that do nothing but install garage doors all day, and IF everything goes perfectly. Probably more like 1-1.5 hours in the real world for an experienced crew.

Right? ;-) Dude, scrap wood doesn't need a reason to exist. Its like scrap metal. If you have enough that you need to build a building for it, consider cutting back but otherwise its all good. Jeesh. :-) Mark |

I have a pretty sweet, but a little neanderthal, tire rack in my garage constructed of scrap wood. Good stuff, and the price was right (free). Wood was in the garage when I bought the house.
