Garage Redo part 2

Pic Dump 15

It's time for the latest Pic Dump!  Here's 50ish things that made me laugh, cry or cringe since Pic Dump 14.  As usual, some you may have seen, some you may not.  Click on the pic to see original size.  And discretion is always strongly advised after the break.  Enjoy!

Garage Redo part 1

So, here's what I have to work with in the garage.  As you can see, along both sides there is stuff, stuff, and more stuff.  Before it gets out of hand and we can't get the car in there, I need to bring some organization to this mess.  The first stage will be assembling the modified workbench to be placed in the back of the garage along the left wall.  Then I will have to move the electrical box.  And finally, pull everything away from the walls and put up the shelves.  I'm also looking for a garden tool organizer to put in the back corner along the right wall.  The wood you see in the pic is the workbench and shelves unassembled.

My wife isn't crazy about not being able to park in the garage for a while, but it shouldn't be long.  Admittedly, I have been procrastinating starting the actual work.  My back sucks.

'Shrooms

I'm not saying that it's been too wet lately, but... these are all over the yard.

Garage Project Preview

Happy Friday!  I know it's been slow around here lately, oh well.  Truth is we really haven't been doing much other than the mundane daily stuff.  Usually I don't like to post things just for the sake of posting when I don't feel like writing (though I do sometimes, anyway).

Coming up will be my garage reorganization project.  Several weeks ago I got a dozen shelf brackets for free (after rebate) and today I bought the shelves for them to hold.  (Except I have to return 2-12'  1x10's that were supposed to be 1x12's because I'm a doofus.)  I also bought a workbench kit.  I should have bought the materials and designed my own, but I guess I got lazy.  Actually the kit seemed like a real good size for the space I have in mind, so I just got it.  There will be one modification, however.  I bought extra 2x4's so I could add longer legs to the kit and raise it to my preferred height.  And doing that means I will have to move the existing electrical box to a higher position on the wall, as well.

So, since this is my space to log our projects and activities (as well as share my music, thoughts and humor), we can all look forward to how this project turns out.  Wish me luck!

Die Antwoord on Tour

Hi, how are you?  We're okay.  Not much happening lately, thus no posting.  So, here, I found this out - Die Antwoord will be in Chicago on Wednesday, July 14.  Too far away from home, middle of the week, and it would take a bigger reason than this for me to drive into Chicago.  I'd love to see them but I won't travel.  Still, some good youtube material to look forward to.
