Am I the only one who thinks that there are too many checkers?

The garage is nice though.

Yep, per my early comment to Richard, that decal is coming off. Maybe sooner now.

That's what I was concerned with when wrestling with the idea. But now that it's done, I think it works well. Maybe you'll like it better when I remove the checkers from the gas cap lid. I appreciate the comment though !!

Done. I definitely like Bergey better without the gas lid decal.

Before:


After :



Ooops, never mind the wheel barrel in the background. That's another project of mine... a Wheeping Cherry "twister" tree.

I love that tree... the trunk is "S" shaped with at least 6 curves in it... very cool. And if you can't tell yet, I like things that are a bit unusual.

If you say so, then I know removing it was the right thing to do !

Looks great! I'm extremely jelous that I can't do something like that. But... come on, door handles man, door handles. It needs them now.


OH, and P.S. I found the perfect wratchet set for doing them. I'll bump that thread tonight to show pics of it. It makes life so much easier using it. Found it at Lowes.

Yeah, I took a look around Home Depot for a miniature allen ratchet set but couldn't locate one. Please do give me the info on where you got it and maybe I can order it online... no Lowe's close to where I live.

THX !

Yes, I think you are but then again I might be a bit biased

I was going to say that it looked fantastic but that I didn't think the gas cap door looked right.

But it seems that has already been fixed. . .

So. . .

I'll say it again. . . It looks fantastic!

No, John, the owner of Speed Design in White Marsh did it. Nice guy, does good work.
