Garage Make Over

[oldognewtrick]

So, having a few days off and being bored I decided now was a good time to clean out some cabinets, move some stuff around. Extend some circuits on the wall so I don't have to run extension cords every time I want to plug something up, make some overhead storage shelves and paint the walls.

It's time to purge a lot of old stuff I don't use anymore and stuff I've been hanging onto ....Man what a mess I have. Promised SWMBO'd that I'll get her car back in the garage tomorrow nite...ain't happening today.

Didn't happen without pictures. Maybe tomorrow we will get a picture of the knot on his head if her car stays out.

Peg board up on the wall and most of the stuff hung up, just about have her bay cleaned out and a half pickup load of junk to go to the dumpster.

Me either, but this is only the beginning.

Use a chain, you don't want that chinsy rope to break when the job is almost done. At least thats what I would do.

Ordered a Rotary two post lift for my garage. To create space for it will take some major house cleaning, shuffling tools and machines. Looking forward to the " new space ".

 

[oldognewtrick]

Got one overhead shelf fab'd and hung, now one more on the other side. What a "B" by myself......,

Took down the old T-12 shop lights and replaced them with T-8's...man, what a difference.

 

[oldognewtrick]

Ran wiring to the work bench, shelf for the stereo and new service over to where the drill press/chop saw/grinder lives. Won't have to drag extension cords every time I want to do something. Fab'd up the last 2 of 4 over head shelving units and will get son-in-laws to give me a hand lifting them into place tomorrow.

At least I'm making some sort of progress.

 

[Barrie]

Going to need some pics of the finished project.

 

[oldognewtrick]

Looks like a bomb went off in there right now, didn't know I had so much junk. Can you say purging?

Running power to where you need it is the best thing you could do. I never did it in my old garage. I had cords everywhere.
