For 5 years I have been wanting to gut my shop and start over. I have been collecting crap here for over 20 years and I was getting to the point that I was not enjoying the shop like I used too. Things were no longer convenient or easy to find.

Along with the new hydraulic lift I installed new lighting (twice as many lights), painted the sheet rock pure white for reflection, added more shelving and reorganized. I threw out a ton of old crap.....Now I can't wait to start my next project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

You suck! Not really, I'm just jealous. One more kid off to college and I can finally move and get a decent size shop...

Great job! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I have a 24 x 24 garage and I can never find anything in it. I think consolidating all the tools in a 54 inch Craftsman cabinet will help significantly.

Blasphemy! A garage that clean is unnatural! A garage the well equipped is unnatural. You are a mutant! Your skills are unnatural. Leave us in peace, non-earth person. We meant you no harm.

Actually, Paul has talked about a BBQ once the shop got done...

Nice work Paul, I want to borrow your laborers. I have a butt load of stuff to do. I was supposed to be spending the week working on the car but I spent it fixing a mess. Dishwasher: fixed. Basement: Dry and clean. Sheetrock in Basement: tear out and rerock start tomorrow. The 914 has assumed the position and is only waiting on a set of M calipers from Mr. Shea... Oh, I have elected NOT to use the redrilled front rotors.

Fake pix. This is NOT the home of a 914. The giveaway is the total absence of jack stands ..................

Good for you. The recent "Gap Fire" is spewing ash all over the city.....I cleaned out both garages and can actually get ALL 3 p-cars under cover as well as the wife's Volvo wagon.....

This the upper garage....where I hide from my wife and daughters when they are in the mood to damage men...
