Messy?...that's tidy now....after my mom passed away, I had the pleasure of cleaning out my parents house. 50 yrs of living in the same place they collected a lot of stuff. Took 15 truck and trailer loads up to the farm. The stuff that I would use at home (tools, ect) went into the garage.

I can finally get working again on the 68 Impalla convert that you can just make out from the door.......

The plan is to make enough room to put one of the 914's in there for the winter.....

I went out a took a pic in the dark after I was sure I was safe from the "Biggest Mess" shop award. I curently have 3500 sq ft of shit in my 3200 ft shop after we moved my mother in-law into the addition we built for her. The glowing eyed beast is "Rocky, Doberman Protector of all Things Very Old and German" (18 month old pup. He had that name registered with the AKC when we bought him. Waddaya gonnado?)


BTW, I feel very small and inadequate after SKL's post. Anybody know where to get a script for Viagra?

Hallo Benno,
ja das Ding ist echt Sahne, kein mühseliges rumkrauchen auf dem Rücken unterm Auto. Mein Werkstatt-Partner hat die mit gebracht. In der vorherigen Halle waren wir zu dritt und hatte noch eine zusätzliche Zweisäulenbühne.
Dummerweise hatte uns der letzte Vermieter zum September 2003 gekündigt und wir mussten uns was anderes suchen. Der dritte Schrauberkollege ist dann abgesprungen und hat die andere Bühne bekommen.
So langsam haben wir uns auch schon wieder eingerichtet in der neuen Hall, so dass man anständig was schaffen kann.
Habe gestern abend ein Rostloch im Unterboden(Fahrerseite Fußraum) ausgemerzt.
hier die Fragmente

If anyone would be interested in Race Deck snap in flooring for their garage, I would be happy to work with you. I will offer special pricing for all club members. I am a member of 914world.com, and will work closely with anyone interested. It is a great product for your garage, and very easy to install as it snaps together. Check out the web site.

Jenny,
that is a Pabst sign, but not from my college days. I think it was in my dad's basement at the old house. The Bud Light, however, was from my college days. There is also a mexican Coors sign, but it needs a tube repaired.

Posted by: Gint Jun 23 2004, 10:27 AM

That's a gracious offer. I've already looked into Race Deck in the past. How much would it cost to do my tiny garage? 18'x20'

Posted by: iamchappy Jun 23 2004, 11:43 AM

I have the race deck in my garage and laundry room.
There is a drawback with the product, heat. Dont plan on warming up or running your engine for any period of time, as the stuff will expand and bubble up.
Even when I leave the garage door open and the leading edge gets exposed to the sun it warps up.
I have seen it come up to within inches of the bottom of the engine while doing a tune up.
It does return to it's original state when it cools down.

Qarl,

Looks great. Almost too nice for a garage!

Where does your tile flooring end relative to the garage door? Do the pavers extend into the garage? Or does the door come down at the junction? Just curious how this is handled.

Also, with tile systems like this and in the previous photos what happens with spills. Does liquid seep between the tiles?

Thanks.

Andrew

Posted by: Qarl Jun 23 2004, 03:24 PM

It ISN"T this clean now. Now it is cluttered full of crap. Cars tools, boxes of parts, compressor, BMW, pressure washer, etc.

The tiles are installed over the concrete slab in the garage. The pavers extend to the end of the slab( where the garage door goes down).

The tile system (http://www.Racedeck.com) are plastic and can stand up to almost anything except heat. Spills wipe up. If you leave something for a long time, it will seep through the cracks

Water will go down underneath, but there are channels built into the bottom side of the tiles to allow water to flow in the event you leave the hose running or something.

If you damage a tile, remove it and replace it.

It sweeps clean and mops up well.

There is a 1/2" gap between the far wall and the end of the tile and the right side and the end of the tile to allow for expansion during the summer. Otherwise it would buckle.

I'll try and take an updated picture tonight.

Kellzey- do you have an Elise yet?? My kids think I should get one someday- saw a couple when in England a couple years and they were a big hit with our family. Definitely a new 914, except made on the wrong side of the channel!

Posted by: Qarl Jun 23 2004, 09:02 PM

Seanery - Here is a picture from about 5 minutes ago. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to take him in the garage!)

Hunter is fine. Overall no major medical issues. Status quo. No improvements on anything (but we really aren't expecting any). He is growing and just had his 4-year-old checkup with his pediatrician. He seems to like the new house. We also have a new baby in the house (a 10-week-old kitten).

As far as the Elise, the first cars (Dealer demos) just arrived last Friday in Georgia at Lotus American headquarters. They are being dispersed right now. Next month... 3 to 5 cars per dealer. There are some delays at the factory. I am #23 at my dealership and expect the car now about December/January.

Oh... and I might actually have a yellow painted 914 in the above photograhed garage this coming weekend or early next week.

As you can tell, my garage was set-up on a tight budget. Used (free) file cabinets, storage for tools, parts, supplies. All the chemicals are kept in the stainless steel cabinet (old hospital OR warming cabinet). I "added" a temporary second garage on a budget, where the 914 now sits.

It has a tile floor, air conditioning, restroom, television, refrigerator and a new love seat. Some beautiful cars too. A '74 phoenix red 2 liter that he found here on the 914club classifieds, a '66 Pontiac GTO, a '69 GTO judge, a '57 VW bug, a '00 Boxster S and a '99 996 with a super charger. Enjoy........

The garage has actually been up for about a month and a half. Finishing the wiring this weekend. The siding on the house is being finished today and I've got to paint both before the snow flies. About all I'm storing in there now besides tools is my bike.

Garages rock!.. much better than parking on the driveway.

Rainy night last night, young Volvo driver was going too fast around the corner, went off
the street and hit our New Beetle and pushed it into the RX-7, then had a bigger brain
lapse and took off. The cops are looking for him. I hope they find him before my wife
does. Anyway, the 914 was in the garage, safe and sound.

Posted by: URY914 Sep 23 2004, 12:50 PM

I always wanted to by an old fire station. I could just roll out of bed, slid down the pole and be working on my car in a matter of seconds.

Hey Jim, why dont you just build around the tree? Make it a feature, in the center of the new garage.
you could hang your tools on it.

Well I'm kindda doing that, with the L-shape. It's such a nice tree that taking it down is out of the question. I think having 2-sides not built around it will enable it to live and not die off....if it dies off, my garage and house are toast, haha.

I waited for a couple of years to have a place to store my truck. I used to keep it at an RV place; secure and covered but not protected on the sides (other than by other vehicles) or in the front which translated to a mess for keeping it clean and a security worry. I now have an airplane hanger at a nearby field with lights and locks. I have room in there for the P-cars if I needed to move them too (see avatar photo).
