Re: New garage

Kalun,

Fluorescent it shall be then!

The plan is to have 6 double 4's, 4 double 8's, and another

3 double 4's over the 2 workbenches. I'll need sunglasses!

The 4's and 8's will be switched separately, as will the

4's above the workbenches.

Re: New garage

Bill;

If you have the space (land) make the garage as big as possible. You just canot have enough space and not for junk. I am now building a garage of 48' x 60' and can already plan it all out.

Have fun, remember you are planning for the future (retirement) and yr wife will not want you at home just sitting around.

Re: New garage

John,

If not for the sake of some old growth, silver beech trees,

the new garage would be 24' longer. As it was, the wife

nearly cried, when I took out a couple of dogwoods.

Frank,

Amen!



Bill

Re: New garage

Hmmmm, how can this be fair? This man has two GT40s in his garage while I have none. Something is amiss....

Wow, that is a "revoltin' display" as my Mom used to say with a smile when she was truly envious.

Re: New garage

Keep the suggestions coming...'cause I'm using 'em too... My new garage has been under construction for a little over a year now.... and I'm gettin' antsy 'cause I wanna start movin' my stuff in... sub-contractors just finished sheetrock installation last Friday, drywall & texture is next... messy messy! (dusty dusty I should say) Hopefully it will be finished by summer time.

btw Bill, I did paint the entire structure bright white before the building was skinned... looks very nice... floors in the shop portion will be light gray, Should be pretty cool when completed.

I've got get a lift too... that will be really nice to have.

Paul you are correct that there may have been a small amount of " Vertical Fluid Transfere" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]...I like to justify it like the Black Bird plane , that at rest it likes to " Settle" a little [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: New garage

No April Fool Frank , My car was up there for real!! I don't know what Malc and I were thinking/drinking ( sniffing the octain boost again) , but it seemed like a good idea at the time! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I think Malc hopes this will be the only way my 40 will ever finish above his!!
Magic plates...I wish. Can't you knock up some James Bond type rotating ones in that workshop of yours [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The finished shell. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Now, on to the interior! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

BTW, the siding isn't warbled. Don't know why it appears

that way. It happened when I reduced the size of the photo.

I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I scored a dozen FREE steel cabinets too!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
