since i only have one car in my 2 car garage, i have ample space to work on my projects.

i think im going to keep it a one car garage for a while and see how it goes. i may end up getting a large heavy duty workbench in there.

Note to Ken: Don't forget to primer and paint that ceiling!

Ok, So Sunday I ordered a couple things from Griots Garage since Ken is always talking them up. And today....I went and ordered me up some Race Deck! Said should arrive in about a week so you'll have to wait till after the install to see the finished product.

Have you seen pictures of Richards Garage? Very well though out, I wish I had that kind of organizational skills, not to mention money.

New small addition to my garage. Funny story about the clock, i was telling my wife how I wanted to get a clock and a thermometer. So I've been looking on ebay and on some sights and thats were I saw the Griots thermometer and ordered that. I also found a clock that I thought would be pretty good on ebay. So I bid on that and won it but It didn't get here yet, but its a MG clock that I liked the look of. I've been working late trying to get a major project done. I came home on Thursday and on my work bench there is a present wrapped up that I knew was a clock. So anyone want to buy a MG clock!

Nice clock and thermometer, dogdal! now you need a meter to measure humidity.

When that Griots thermometer was first released I asked them why it doesn't have the meter for RH since they are detailing guru's and humidity is one thing a lot of folks reference before doing any work.

The guy there said "...hummmm...that's a good question...".

You know I was looking at one with RH but it didn't look as good. Besides the garage has full climate control now. It's was like 80 something and as thick as a sauna when I got home and the garage was a cool 74! Now that it's insulated it keeps a pretty nice temp.

Not much going on here so I figured I'd post up some pics of minor improvement. New lights for the rear of the garage so I can actually see!
