Thank you all very much!

I have had a few request asking to 'detail the cabinets'.

These are just 'boxes' stacked side by side and on top.

Any combination of shelving is possible inside each box:

First picture shows a simple divider shelf 'halfing' the usable space inside:



Here is a picture of another 'box/cabinet' showing showing myself dividing the space into thirds. Notice the top shelf does not span the entire width of the cabinet so you can fit taller objects in the front (in this case a propane torch)



The doors just 'pop out' so that they can be removed to get bigger things inside and out:



Here is a couple of pictures of the tracks that I dado cut out.

Same slider on the top with thumb holes drilled into each door making these as simple as possible:

This past weekend I added tire racks (two of them I need at least one more) The good thing is that they came in red ~ no color change :

Empty



Full



Weird/Bizarre shelves for over the garage overhead door:





And even got to use my upholstery skillz on the bar stools:

What force could possibly occur in his garage that would move a piece of machinery weighing a few thousand pounds (loaded) on a level floor?

[SMWS6TA]

I take it you like red?!?


















looks good

If you click on the link you can see these come with casters.

Generally you don't need to bolt a four post lift down. They're very stable, particularly with the weight of a car on them. You get a caster kit so you can move the lift around the garage (or even out into the driveway.) Of course, they're designed so you can only move the lift when the car is fully lowered.

They come from Canadian Tire (up here of course) and go on sale every two months at (at least 40% off)

I take it you like red?!?...

Blood red is the color choice for a Hunter/Killer = my color!

Any place on the interwebz that i could order them from at %40 off?

[SexOnWheels]

I will let you know when they go on sale (I want one more) and if you cannot order it yourself I could always send it to you. (you will have to pay of course)

That would be great!! It would really open up some space in the room, instead of having them stacked up on a corner

Well it is the time of year in which old man winter is approaching (as well as construction season is [finally] slowing down).

Researched heating options and decided on a Big Maxx Natural gas heater which is rated at 75,000 BTU.

These unit are on sale in Canada for $600 (Princess Auto) I bought mine in Montana for $429 (Big R) I got a great deal as the dollar was the same and no BS (GST) tax in MT. I also bought a side vent kit at the same time.

Here is a shot after the furnace was ‘hung’ and we are routing the gas lines:



The gas line complete and you can see the exit vent pipe (horizontal):





What color did I go with (I know yellow/orange is designated) Red of Course:



Electrical installed:



Programmable Thermostat:



This little unit really throws off the heat. I thought I would never say this but:
I can almost hardly wait for it to get colder so I can see my new heating system warm up my shop/garage.

[Spaz]

damned vampires always go to the heated garages first...


looks good bud!!!

[SexOnWheels]

I would have put money on my 'evl twn' brother, TY you never disappoint...
