Thanks Sam..

Did a little cleaning with a solution I came up with that doesnt seem to hurt decals and breaks down grease.. I think I will try to save the door &amp; decals and see about matching to color for the rest of the cabinet and continue the tradition of applying more decals down the road.

After more cleaning and picking up the other cabinet I decided to not repaint them. Instead I will leave the patina and add more decals along the way and thought I would personalize the glass door one a little.

Yikes!
I've never seen anything like that before. Looks &quot;slightly&quot; heavy duty. Looks like you could sharpen push rods with it!

Finally finished painting the garage and losing most of the clutter.. I also utilized attic space and did some organizing as well. If the car part would fit in a tote then it was labeled on the outside of said tote for inventory purposes and then stored away.. Sadly I do not have the room for everything at the house presently but hopefully once this one goes on the market I can buy/build what I need..

Before back in April




As of yesterday - Doesnt seem like much but I can now work in the garage without having to move 14 things before starting. And I can put 2 cars in there as well..

A few months ago I posted some pictures of one of my garages stuffed with some oil and gas collectibles and at the end was a picture of my second garage which is used as a work shop. Well last week one of my employees and I got busy and finally painted that second shop since I was tired of looking at taped drywall which was a bit dark and dingy to work in. We replaced all the lighting with six new T8 fixtures with daylight bulbs, and then went to town on the walls with a fresh coat of paint to brighten things up some. The work bench got a new steel counter top and we then hung a few signs to give it a new feel. Still have some work to do and a few more signs to hang but wow what a difference this made with paint and lighting.


Hung a few sheets of slot wall for hanging car parts and such.


Couple more sheets were then hung on the other side.


The old bench was measured up for a new 3/16" steel counter top.


Twelve feet of steel and the bench was now fit with a bulletproof top.

Next up was to finish painting the ceiling to rid those old tape lines.


Added an engine run cart since 3 engines are being built and will need testing.

Next up I am going to replace the door openers with the newer side mount systems to provide more clearance for cars being put on the lift. I only have 10'4" ceilings so I'm trying to make the best use of this space. I'll post a couple more pics when I finish things up in the next few weeks.
