Adiabatic posted:I'm in Richmond. Come on out! I'm also in Richmond. I also have a rather large garage. I would like to be your friend / RVA garage bro. Also, I would like to donate a beer fridge to your cause. It's a glass front door fridge, like the ones you see at convenience stores. It recently stopped making things cold, but the box itself is pretty awesome. It shouldn't be a tough fix, I just haven't had the money to put beer in it, so I've had no reason to even attempt to fix it. Edit: I'm a donk and haven't read through the whole thread yet. I see you have a fridge but this one is still pretty awesome:  (this is my garage in NOVA) GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Adiabatic posted:Good. I hate painting. I'll throw money at a paint shop all day. I will certainly deliver you a fridge as soon as I can. I'm pretty busy for the first next few days, but I'll pm you when I have some time to come over. I don't have any recent garage pictures. I used to maintain my blog (see my avatar) pretty well when I lived in NOVA so there's a lot of pictures of cool stuff there. But I just sort of got too busy to enjoy my garage once I moved to RVA, so there's not a lot of good pictures of it  In fact these might be the only couple photos I've taken of the place since I've been here, and it looks nothing like this now:   The carpeted garage in NOVA is still a thing and I may be moving back there if I get this job in Falls Church.

Glad to see it's found a good home. She's been in my life for the better part of 10 years now. Let me know when she's operational, I'd like to stick my hot beer in her at least one more time. And yeah I'd love to help out with the v4 whenever your roomie is ready.

Hey I just had a roommate move in and FILL my garage with his poo poo to the point that I can't even walk in through the garage door, let alone get my truck in there. Could I borrow your lift for an hour while I do an oil change and check my rear brakes? (Ironically I had just bought a replacement jack to do this.) I'll bring beer and my own tools.

My truck looks hilariously large on that lift. I think that leak might be worse than I thought. I can hear gears meshing on the highway. Also I think my brand new front wheel bearings might be what is causing the "tire noise" I was talking about. It's starting to sound/feel exactly like it did before I replaced them.  And yeah about those subarus...

gently caress. Wife is a brave man for venturing into that shed. Don't sneeze, it could explode. Also, I get weird when people move my stuff without mentioning it. Usually because it winds up lost, broken, or in the garbage. and almost always because it was something reasonably important.

NitroSpazzz posted:When does the campfire start? Might be tough getting it hot enough to dispose of the engine parts but we believe in you. I've got a cache of about 5-6 gallons of old gasoline not far from there. There's also matches, food, a knife, and so on... You should just take the garbage wood and nail it to the shed.

if it makes you feel any better... I lived here: https://goo.gl/maps/FYCaf  The star is my (former) house. That big building in the bottom right corner is a Fire Station. They never seemed to have a problem with me tossing oil jugs full of old gasoline into open flame.

Raluek posted:Are those any good? Last time I saw one I played around with it a bit, and the drawers seemed pretty flimsy and the rollers weren't too great. I remember reading a lot of negative reviews on toolbox forums. The drawers ARE pretty flimsy, but it's way cheaper than buying a snap-on.  edit: also the drawers are sort of odd heights and that door is stupid.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSSS. She will live again! It's probably not a tough fix. It was running not long before I gave it up. I came out one hot day to grab a beer and the door was propped open and the fridge was running (thanks roommate). It hasn't gotten cold since. The motor still runs, it just doesn't get cold.
