Humble 3 Car

Hey Allen, we have the same size house with the same size garage. That is all.

 

[ME87]

We shopped for the smallest house with the largest garage we could find in our price range

 

[Chris]

I did about the same, I wanted it affordable to heat and cool.

i bought at the wrong time now with the houseing market the way it is i can get 5+ acres with a bigger house and a bigger shop for less $$ if i could sell mine for enough topay it off.

 

[ME87]

Picked up another piece of swag for the garage today. Buddy of mine had no use for it. Not like I need another key holder, but it's a nice piece none the less.

 

[Chris]

Awesome!

..........

 

[MarkWood]

I like it!

Finally got around to painting the doors and installing the handles on the work bench. Also decided to put a metal top on both sides. I consider it done now.

Handles came out good.

 

[MarkWood]

Looks great but I seem to remember you allowed for the top on the right side so material would sit level on the saw but not for the left since you were not putting a metal top on that side. Did you remember to check it? I could be wrong in saying this I have not checked back to see.

 

[MarkWood]

Got the metal top on this side.

I'm going to leave the other side wood as there are times when I'd like to work on a wood surface as opposed to metal. When I built the table I accounted for the thickness of this material so the chop sits level with both surfaces now, where as the right hand side was 1/8" low before.

yup here ya go buddy. did you allow for the metal top on the left side. not being critical just trying to help.

 

[ME87]

Yeah, I've been thinking about a couple solutions. 1) just pull off the left hand top when I need an accurate chop saw or 2) replace the top on the right with 1/4" plate and shim the saw up 1/8". Both are very easily doable. We'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Sprayed some paint today. Spend most of yesterday dis-assembling my dad's gun and giving it a thorough cleaning. Pretty spotless except for the paint cup. Sprayed great this morning.

Before Paint

After Paint

Headed to Utah this week for Easter Jeep Safari to do some wheeling in Moab. Hopefully I can get the axles back under the frame next weekend and I'll be able to drop the motor in during the following week.

I really didn't intend to start cutting a hole in my wall, sorta just happened.

We are all dying to hear your explanation and do hope no one was injured in this event!. Did the saw go wild?

 

[oldognewtrick]

Usually we say pics or it didn't happen, now... whats the story.

 

[ME87]

Well I mean it was pretty much intentional in that sense, but I didn't get the itch to do it until 4 Pm on a Sunday afternoon. Not usually the time to start a major project lol. I really didn't expect drywall over press board at the time either.

 

[MarkWood]

Sooooooo what exactly are you doing!?!

 

[ME87]

Installing a door into the back yard.

 

[ME87]

Pissed off the neighbor but I do have power again and I got the door in place.

Why would neighbor care?
