Who's idea was it to buy another house. 
trying to get the garage sorted out.
My oldest is in the Army and hung the flag for me. He's on leave before going to Texas. My Dad came to witness it all.
This is us in front of my bigger garage....that is somehow now seeming smaller.
The previous owner built a work table that was designed to hold dump trucks. It was absolute hell getting torn down. I can't even explain the frustration. 200 screws and, atleast, 100 nails have come out of this thing. It's removed now though. Had to cut the wall because the top went back around the studs and had electrical running through it. He drilled 1/2 holes for the wires. The box clamp wouldn't pass through those holes. Out came the circular saw. Now I've got to make a junction box and drill through the studs so I can get everything neatly rebuilt.
This guy had a love affair with spray foam. I'll straighten all that out.
Can anyone recommend garage floor coatings ? I want to do a darker red with beige and tan flakes. Might have to get the pros to do it but wanted some " real world " recommendations. The walls will be white and the block will be beige. Oil based primer and good paint sprayed on the OSB board.

I did the rustoleum rock solid 2 part polycuramine kit from Lowes. So far so good. Will try to find a full car less pic.Who's idea was it to buy another house.

Wow, that floor is shiny. Looks good. I'd be happy with anything close to that. I've been watching YT videos on prep. Acid washing and grinding. I may tackle it on my own once the paint is done.

Scarlet is finally at the new house. Lots of work going on....none on the mustangs.
I used three kits from Lowe's about 22 years ago when we bought our new home. That s hit is still holding up fine, and I spilled any and all fluids on it.Who's idea was it to buy another house.

Oh, I almost forgot. Took advantage of a sale at HF. Lift is on its way.
I've done lots of work on a lift almost exactly like this one. Did everything including exhaust work. A couple 2 x 12s or 2 x 10s come in handy, along with a good set of lift blocks. The cross braces and hydraulic cylinders can be tough to get around but I managed just fine. I like that I can move it around to wherever I need it.
Its amazing how far I’ve come since the hand built shed and an uneven driveway. Working outside under jack stands was rough on me and Dusty. Back then I couldn't have imagined where I'm at now.

My oldest just bought his first car in his own. He's in TX now. Can't wait to fly out and see it in person.

The nice h in the wall and weird wiring are all fixed up. Had enough wood left over from taking out the built in shelves. Doesn't look bad.
I'm no carpenter. Was like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

I guess we'll get to see how this thing works later.
The guy that dropped this thing off was awesome. He's got a 95 mustang and is local. I've got a few days off and hope to get some " productive " things taken care of.

Well...this is as far as I got. Had to run out and buy some wood. 130 bucks later I'm tired and will get the garage cleaned up and put Dusty on it for the first time tomorrow.
So far I'm impressed. Pump is a little loud but it's to he expected. Wanted to make a 240v extension chord but opted to hard wire it up to a stove chord. The wiring here is so old the type of end that fits my socket isn't even available a HomeD anymore. Just the ends and the recepticle upgrade will be over 100 bucks. It works as it is and I'm satisfied for now.

Holds those beer cans up just fine.
Bar height or coffee table height with the push of a button?
What will they think of next?

I thought the same thing. It will make a nice work table, too. Those twisted teas are like drinking water. I might have to break out something a little stronger tomorrow. Maybe, the lift will help hold me up.Holds those beer cans up just fine.
