slck6t9,

I was bored in SF yesterday and i was checking out an auto mag and i saw a wall lift they make that you can put a bike on and it lifts the bike off the ground to create more floor space. Like a lift gate mounted on the wall. Heaven forbid i remember the name of the unit but if your in search of more room might be something to look at down the line. probably not cheap though. good luck on the cabinets! EDIT: found it! www.loft-it.com bout 2g's

Marc

Default My New Garage

This is a few pics of my new garage. I still have a long ways to go before finished. My garage is 40' x 60' downstairs with 12' 6" ceilings and 20' x 60' upstairs with 8' ceilings. I just got the power hooked up 4 days ago.

Default My Shed #2 pics

Here's some more pics of "the shed".... my property sits on a corner is on an 1.25 acres -- so gave me a second driveway just to the shop... and my wife wanted to lower the view - so we hauled out 1600 cubic feet of dirt to lower the shed down below grade... that was a good decision! I had to build a base for the post that holds the "man cave" upstairs --- so couldn't just have square cut steel - out came the plasma and I did some flames! LOL -- this is what I love about having a real place to 'work'!!

Since these pictures were taken - (I have 100's - LOL) - I sold the project 36 Ford and the Project 69 Camaro... and bought a "done" 37 Ford Minotti that will get the complete re-do. I had 4 cars -- two too many to be able to WORK... spent too much time moving crap around - so now the 56 Nomad can be in the upper garage or in the trailer - and have only ONE CAR in the shed at a time..... I've also finally moved all tools and tool boxes to permanent locations - and built (in one of the pics - dark but you can see it) a huge work table.... and added some more lighting.

Funny -- I live in Seattle Washington area - and had the shed plumbed for Natual Gas.... but I also have 6" of high density insulation in the walls and roof.... sometimes now I have to open the door or roof vent (sky lights - electrically operated) because it's TOO WARM -- and I have NO HEAT... just the lights (I leave them on 24/7)....
