here's the nozzles and adapters i bought. imho, you only need
the "car nozzle" to do your car unless you have some really tight
spots you want to clean...

they call the horizontal one a "car nozzle"

DAMN YOU GUYS... quit posting all this cool stuff! Do you think I'm MADE of money?

 

you should check out the trash can i got to day...

 

Yeah, but we all know that garage gear is worse than crack for YOU...

 

Do i sense a "Garage Addict Owners Club" coming?

I picked up the IKEA can myself yesterday, fit's nicely out in the shed.

 

Ooooohhh.... they have attachments intended for PCs as well... AND they can be reversed to become a blower! Yaay!! As someone that has about a dozen PCs through my house every year (I do reviews for an online site) and also have a ginormous, hairy dog, that alone makes it worthwhile. I'm gettin' one!

 

VERY IMPRESSIVE GARAGE...errr....SHOP...errr SHOWROOM!!!!!!

Makes my digs look like shantytown!

 

If I had that trash can...I would not be able to bring myself to put trash into it!!

 

You suck. I have been look at that, along with their new dome top one.

 

thanks guys. honestly though, the stuff in my
garage is not expensive at all. I just tried my best to color
coordinate and organize everything together so that it
compliments each other...

i would like to put in a large tool case and full sized
workbench, etc. but with 2 cars in the 2.5 garage,
there's not enough room when you want to be able to
work on cars while both are garaged. I know i can fit the
cases in the garage, but then I won't be able to detail
or do minor servicing without moving one of the cars
out of the garage... which to me, makes no sense as i
hate firing up the motor for such short duration at a time.

im thinking about getting these in Sept.. i got a 10% off
coupon with my last order.

non-swivel stool.... i don't want the ones with seatback as i might
accidentally swivel it while moving it around and hit my car. lol...




and yep, can't go without this... im gonna slap on a vintage
Texaco sticker on it. this one right, S Cuvez? this will
be my primary trash can, not the oily can pict above
which i'll only use when servicing my cars.

 

You guys wanna see a cool garage... go look up BradB's pics!

 

Yep, that would be it! Lucky! I hope I get a discount coupon.

Very true he does, but that is not easily made(IE new buildings)

 

See? This is what I mean. Primary trash can?

Seek help (hopefully I won't be in the waiting room ahead of you by then).

 

I found a picture of BradB's garage here:

yeh, ive been eyeing that trash can the last couple of weeks too.


well the oily can is for combustibles, the 'primary' trash can is
for paper waste, old magazines, flyers, etc.

BradB's garage is nice. several ranks up from what i have, no doubt.
but remember, this is just my starter house. who said
i'll be satisfied with just a 2.5 car garage.

 

I found a nice canistor style that mounted on the garage wall and had a very long hose. Worked well and is completely out of the way.

 

do you have a pict of that vac? please share!

 

I just love this photo...


This was taken from his gallery. If i should not post this, PM me and I will remove it.

I just love it though! I hope I am that fortunate some day.

 

^^ very nicely done!

it all comes down to whether you're ready and
comfortable with what you're trying to achieve.
im not quite there yet. hopefully someday!

the next house i buy, i will definitely get the
garage prepared before I move in so that it will
be much easier to work on than doing spots at a
time. but im happy that my wife's cool about my
hobby though... imagine fighting over with your
SO about garage space! at least my garage is
all mine. (can't get any better then that!) lol

 

You guys kill me... I can barely fit 2 cars in my garage at any given time and, to do that, I've let the passengers out first so they can be parked up against a wall so tightly that you can't open the passenger's door.

 

yeh, my in-law's garage is like that. nice house, but their 2 car
garage is so darn narrow you can barely get out of the car once
inside...plus they put their lawn stuff on the wall which makes it
even more narrow. for a car guy, i would make it into a lux one
car garage and park the other cars outside on the driveway.

 

Picked up my 6-gallon Sears shop vac last night... it was on sale for only $34 - what a deal!

Seems to have great suction... the only drawback is the stock vacuum tool is a bit too large to properly get into the nooks and crannys near the seats - I need to buy the car detailing tool. Problem is, the tool runs for like $10 - seems like robbery seeing as how the ENTIRE VAC was only 3X that much, but what are you gonna do?

It also made short work of the year's worth of accumulated leaves and dust that sweeping missed... my garage looks great now (other than the clutter, of course).

 

cool and congrats. just get the 2-1/2 "car nozzle." that's
all I needed on my Legacy and Civic last weekend. yep, they know
how to make money from the accessories! at least you can use
them on not only your new vac, but future vacs you might buy.

i just saw a post at another forum that the Sears Hardware in
ElkGrove Village, IL right off of Biesterfield and ArlingtonHts rd. is
closing...which means, everything's on sale! might be a good
chance for your locals to checkout their remaining inventory to
get a great deal on your shop vac!!

 

Or lets' not forget our local Kmart stores too. Hidden bargins if you look.
