I am still alive - havent worked on any car projects lately... lol.
I refinished one of my bathrooms - new paint, hardware, faucets, etc... That took up way too much of my time.
This weekend I finished upsome projects in garage.
First I bought another Gladiator shelving unit from Lowes - they price matched a competitor that had it online -and they beat that price by 10% - saved me $80 bucks off.
Also - I went on vacation to Pigeon Forge TN a few weeks back and stopped by some antique stores - and noticed a lot of them had reproduction vintage signs - so I picked up a Texaco one, as well as a cool Pontiac service one. The Chevrolet ones had crappy colors/ I just didn't like them.
Third - I picked up an portable AC unit for my garage about a month ago - Newegg.com had them on clearence - so I said what the hell, why not. I tested it out first by opening up the garage door first and letting it run the exhaust tube out to make sure it worked - it cooled off the work area by a few degrees. That made me happy - so I ponied up and got a metal dryer vent off the internet, and got some dryer vent ducting from Lowes, and plenty of caulk - and cut a hole in my house! Now to get to the ducting - I trimmed the think plywood that is up in my garage covering the walls - this lead me to discovering that the entire wall has insulation in it - bonus! I finished up this project tonight and now have the portable ac unit.
Fourth - I have had an air compressor sitting in my garage for the last 7 months or so - and my parents where in town visiting on vacation. My father is an electrician/maintenance supervisor in his work life - so I asked him to help me run 220 for the Compressor - and after a few hours, and a few sparks flying - we got the AC compressor fully wired up properly and building pressure! We also ran another 110 outlet on the wall - since my garage only had 2 separate outlets in it! My next project will be to get a retractable air hose reel - and mount that on the back wall.
Now for teh pics!
