Beenaway,

I've heard both opinions (let 'em freeze, don't let 'em freeze) and just figured I'd play it safe. Maybe after I have the fridge out there over this next summer I'll just leave it. Thanks for passing along your first hand experience.

the garage is pretty nice , but the truck

Sweet shop, sweet truck......Its nice to have some natural light with the big windows. (I'd have bars or Lexan on mine though) How come the tropies aren't front and center on the living room fireplace mantle????

Nice garage! I see you have two welders there......what model miller is that?

Actually, when that picture was taken, I had three welders. The Miller is a new 175 mig which has now become my daily workhorse. I also have a Lincoln 225 buzz box for monster stuff (1/4" or bigger). The third one is a Century 85 Amp, 110 volt, wire feed which now has a proud new owner, HR.Com's own "Schnitz".

And Gearhead,

We just plum ran out of "trophy" space in the house. I kinda like these in the shop...but I have to hose them down every once in a while because of all the dust and debris they collect. And speaking of dust and debris, I had to relocate my CD player to the other section of the garage (not shown in the pictures) and pipe the music in. The dust kept clogging the lens so bad it would just stop playing and I got sick of taking it apart and cleaning it off every day or two.

ah, i too have a miller 175, they are great welders, especially on the bottle

Thanks for that idea ! My CD player is playing again now!

(How could I be so stupid not to think about that.....)

nice garage,that is a good size garage.i am just doing improvements on mine to get more use out of it right now.mine is 20 by 24,built approximately in 1919 or 1920.

maybe i am too late to answer, maybe i am new member
but i want to say.. very great garage..if i got like your
garage...i might sleep on the solid ground..so beautiful

I'm sorry, I know I'm from the south, but taking a fridge inside for the winter is just hilarious! The refridgerant shouldn't freeze, maybe the defrost drain lines? The compressor shouldn't run to much. As long as it's in an enclosed space where no wind gets around it there should be no fear of freezing. If the compressor area is open in the back close it in with a piece of cardboard, at least in the winter. That will hold heat generated by the compressor in under the fridge and should prevent freezing up. A fridge is just a bit bigger than I want to move around, but I bet you have one of those half size or smaller fridges...

very nice setup.... i wish icould make my garage as sanitary... but then again i wouldn't have all my storage space... maybe when the car is back together i will get around and straighten everything out... then i will post pictures too....

Damn old threads Here I thought CBoy had made some new improvements to his garage and I was looking forward to seeing what they were.

No kidding... The least that we should see is a pic of his favorite cold beverage in the fridge.


In a while, Chet.
