I'm going to need to do something with the garage door and opener once I get the lift. Right now it's only at 7.5' from the floor and I need it to go as close to the ceiling as possible. Plus I have a standard craftsman garage door opener. I need to change that to a torsional wall mounted unit.

I was just wondering what you had planned to do with a lift in the gargae, storage, work etc. I live in Abington/ Huntingdon Valley and work out of Glenside. If you ever want to stop by and take look at a few things or discuss lifts in general. I'm very familiar with the items you are considering and will also be at the Atlantic City Auto Show/Auction at the end of the month.

Cheers to you!

Mayor,

What are these things holding your hoses or ext. cords?

Who makes them? Can I get a closer look. I have been looking for a way to store my cords and hoses.

They look like Cable Clamps. I've got a few and they seem to work OK.

Mayor, what is F&F on the work bench. It appears to be aluminum and a looptail. Is it an old PK? My memory isn't that great onthe geometry of those bikes but I think they had to be the the more desirable of the bikes from my generation.

Here's a few... mostly of the hang out space where after detailing the car a beer, ballgame and cigar can be enjoyed! It was just an empty white box when I bought the house. Built the 16' workbench, ran electrical, installed cable, fridge, phone, and three auditorium seats salvaged from a local auditorium renovatoin project. For some reason football tackles are harde, and movies are better, in the garage!

If you know of any good ones send them to me via my garage website where I'm trying to collect photos of cool garages for garage enthusiasts.

Here's where I'm starting from to cleanup my garage. It's been difficult to get things done on the bird.






I'll be posting later as I progress.

Pretty much a budget overhaul, cabinets were salvaged from a local school building that was about to be demolished (FREE), the floor is Costco garage floor tile, all on sale ($800) and the drywall, paint, wiring, and all labor were all me. Since these pics, I've hung the TV on a wall mount above the breaker panel to the left of the walk-thru door, and a few more posters. And now reside in there the Honda CRX SCCA road race car and the '99 Vette.

Great garage!!! Very well done.

Sorry I missed your post.

You are right. I used to race two PK's when I was 10 to 12 years old. I started to restore them but with so many other projects just finshed one. Will pass one of them on to my son and the other keep safe.
