Garage Progress!
It has been a busy spring around my place. I've raced quite a bit since the last time I posted about racing, I think six times. Have had some good times with the Z, I'll try to post about them in the race area. My third floor of my house is now built out and finished, came out looking great AND - the garage is just about done.
I've enclosed a few pictures of how they are coming long. It has been a bit slow, especially for some particular aspects of it like the dental trim that goes around the garage that precisely matches the house. We wanted the garage to look like it belonged with the house and the builders have done a fantastic job. The window detail matches my house, trim, etc.
Build out inside the garage isn't finished put power is run. The garage has a separate 100amp service and has power outlets every 4 ft on the walls, or less. Three 230V outlets, has an exhaust fan with auto louvers, and a built in AC unit as well. The garage will be insulated and drywalled of course so I think it'll be a good place to hide from the 90-95F that is common in these parts from late May to early October. Water is plumbed for a good sink setup.
Lighting is speced out pretty well, we've got 12 fixtures over the length of about 34 ft, so fairly close together. Also have some deep cement floor pads that were poured with the foundation that will facilitate lift mounting. And, I've got a little pipe that goes through the wall so I can hook up a flexible exhaust pipe to that pipe and vent sound/fumes outside the garage to a external muffler, or, I can hook a funnel up to it and pee through it for convenient relief.
All in all it is coming along well and I'm looking forward to moving into it in 3-6 weeks, depending on how the brick masons get on and so on. Be good to move out of the little 2.25 car garage that now house my cars, or doesn't house them since I've got one off site (Jensen, we don't talk about that one though).
So, this is basically "where my GT40 went"....at least I'll have a place to put one should I ever manage to acquire one!
PS-Greg thanks for calling about the tornadoes, we were okay although there were a few 20 miles from here. Nothing like out in the midwest though. We get them in NC each year, that is for sure.
