Man, you do some nice work! I built my shop in 84 and installed an 8' 'back door' and ended up with a 10 about a year later lol. I did my walls in 3/8ths from the beginning tho but man, yours is up scale compared to mine lol. My dad and I did everything except for concrete finishing which was subed out.....and is the only thing that turned out crappy.

And some news!
I was contacted by a magazine that is doing an special issue called Great Garage Makeovers and my shop is going to be included.
They sent a professional photographer who spent about 6 hours taking photos.

Congrats on the magazine writeup forthcoming Roger. That makes everything worth it right there

[roger1]

Thanks Kevin!

MRGM,

It's a special issue titled "Great Garage Makeovers" sponsored by the Meredith Corporation which publishes more than a dozen different magazines. It is targeted for newsstands around December or January.

It doesn't snow very often here in San Angelo so I thought I would post a picture from this morning.

Please excuse the mess. I am in the middle of remodeling the kitchen and dining room inside the house and everything is a little scattered around right now.

Now all you need are candles in the windows with a wreath and a Christmas tree out front

What?!!! You mean you actually USE your garage as a WORKshop?



We've just our first real shot of winter here as well, during the last week. It was snowing and blowing here today, to the point where I had to shovel my wife's car INTO the garage. It was even worse an hour east of us at Drumheller, where they were reporting blizzard conditions.

Coincidentally, I'm also in the midst of doing a kitchen renovation , including the addition of a "peninsula". It started with buying some "Ready To Assemble" Cabinets from Home Depot, but the project grew to include laminate flooring, painting, plumbing, electrical ... and more.

We're getting close now, at the "functional" stage using chunks of the old counter. The new countertop and the rest of the special-order door packages and accesories should be ready for pickup in another week or so.

So congrats on the completion, and now the exposure that your garage project will be getting. I'm sure it will be a source of inspiration to many others!

[MRGM]

MAN...wish we had that here in abilene...it just missed us. Hope we get some tonight. Looks nice.

Mag out with your garage
