Cakefool posted:You're always welcome, we'll just be jealous. So my house has a 3 car garage. But it seems to be full of poo poo.  The poor coronet is a shelf.  I needed to do something about this, it's impossible to work on anything in here without excavating for 2 hours beforehand.  THUS, a recipe for materialistic happiness to fill that gaping void in your life: Start with a hole.  Add cement and gravel.  Insert wood.  Extra rebar.  Add siding and doors, mix in snow for fun.  Comes with a heater (trenched in the natural gas line) and a big exhaust fan.  And of course...  Oh and some lights and stuff.  Wifi, I had them trench in cat 5 while they put in the electrical. I made the shelf arms, they are not perfect but eh.  The lift is fun.  I need an oil change drain pan for under the hoist.  And today I tidied up a bit.  Engine storage corner.  There's a fair bit of room in front of the truck there.  I need to build a proper fabrication table for welding and cutting on. TIG, MIG, and a plasma cutter on the floor. Oh and a beer fridge of course.  And some basic storage. I need some shelves and tire racks for certain.

Slung Blade posted:The poor coronet is a shelf. NO LONGER.   I bought 2 sets of steel shelving. 2 sets = 4 verticals and a pile of horizontals, enough to make 3 units with room to wheel stuff underneath.  Looks alright. I'm probably going to take that shelf under the tires out, doesn't serve much purpose, but I needed it while assembling.  Man it's weird having a small car in here where the Dodge used to loom.  So yeah, the electric tractor and the Coronet are now housed in the shop, where they belong. I might actually work on them now.

Slowly building up my shop tools. New parts washer.  An inexpensive transmission jack.  Needed it to lift up Seat Safety Switch's transmission mount.

I replaced two of my switches with timers. Why are they different? because the fan draws a fuckload of power, and that timer is rated for more amps. In retrospect I wish I had gotten two of them, that one on the right doesn't fit in the housing very well, the wires come out of the unit on the right, so it hits the edge and levers it over a little. No, I can't move it to a different bay because it's already labeled, what are you, some kind of criminal? Still, this allows me to use the exterior lighting to see my way back into the house without having to leave the lights on all night. Or run the fan for a few minutes after I pull a vehicle out to go somewhere and clear the exhaust. I do like having music playing while I work. This little bluetooth speaker worked great, but it's a little, uh, small.  Just so happened, my friend was selling these rad polk audio speakers.  So I bought an amp and a TV hanger, and I finally have a use for my old living room TV. This amp is bluetooth as well, and I can plug the workshop laptop into it via HDMI passthrough.  Now I have enough wattage to deafen myself and the neighbour's dog.  It sounds amazing with the Fury Road soundtrack blasting through the building.
