You know that should have crossed my mind but all I heard was hand me another beer... lol




Hopefully sometime in the next 30 days or so... I spent the day hungover and cutting in the ceiling... Round two tomorrow.... Hopefully I can be done painting tomorrow... I hate it as it is a tedious effort... I now know why so many painters I have met are drunks... lol

Jeff,

Yeah man come on over! I think its been way to long since I've seen that beautiful BB Coupe of yours...


So I still have not figured out the flooring completely... However I have completed the electrical cut in and the installation of the fans.... Next on the list is the lightening...








3 blades vs. 6...



6 blades...



I think I'm going to nix the 24" down rods and use the 12" that came with the fans..

Finally had a chance to hang all the lights and wire them up today with some help from a few friends..

Hitch,
Quoting you, "My garage build that has taken years off my life..."

I think that you are now at a time where all your hard work will start adding years to your life. Time to get on with a new build!

I had to bust out the 4" grinder with a Z36 wheel to get rid of the paint that the diamond grinder wouldn't



Ground!!!!



Acid washed



Bond coat



Prepping...

Dave, you have set the bar too high for all of us common folk!

The brick base around the perimeter looks incredible.

That looks great! Congrads!

This is going to sound incredibly strange, but...




....are you at the end of a cul-de-sac, and is the house next to you up for sale? I think I've admired your place and garage without putting 2 and 2 together until just now.

Nice, very nice! We are kind of hitting the finish line about the same time, except I didn't build a new garage, just enhanced mine. Contractor just finished the Polyaspartic Epoxy this morning. I have too wait 'til Thur for reentry. Dennis

What am i missing with all the 'plug-ins and switches' all over the walls and close to the ceiling?

JohnZ

Because there are never enough of them in a "standard" plan, and when you design & build yourself, you can install what you really need.

I put a bunch more in the ceiling for ceiling-hung power and light reels so I won't trip over cords on the floor for anything.

Hitch

You know it! I've got plenty of room upstairs for now.. The downstairs will get full QUICK!

Come check it out when you are down next. It was great to see You and the Nova in Charlotte.

Actually four of the six houses in my cul-de-sac are for sale right now... LOL... I'm not sure if that is a sign or what... lol.. The one on the left is new construction, the one on the right was just purchased in December and it's back up for sale (Divorce), the one next to it is new construction and the one on the corner is moving to another state....


Come on over... I think it's listed at $450k!!!!! Wish mine could sell for that...Dreamers...


EDIT... just saw someone posted something about Novozymes on your page... lol... So you are are here in Clayton... I'm in Broadmoor West... come on over.... lol

Hitch

Dennis, that looks AWESOME man! Hey we are coming to DC soon. I'll give you a call with the details. I would like to see it in person.

Hitch

I did the clear on mine Monday morning....

Hitch

Beyond what John mentioned.. I did the plugs close to the ceiling for bar signs to be switched. The ones in the ceiling are for the cord reels and for connecting to the four post lifts so that I'm not walking into cords...

Hitch

I was wondering about those high plug outlets myself..

Bar signs, neon I suppose...now the plugs make perfect sense, good idea!!
