    No real plans to paint the walls or make it some kind of man cave. I just like having the open space.

    I didn`t make my shop into a man-cave either (never even turn on the stereo system I wasted money on), but I did paint the walls just for practical purposes. IMO painted = stays cleaner longer.

    Yeah I like High gloss paint cleans easy and reflects a bit more light (seems brighter). I on the other hand I have slightly man caved mine 32" tv and stereo I love watching movies on Netflix while I prep my boat and rods for a tournament.

    Building New House - Garage Features???

    Check out my Fat Man Detailing Stool (FMDS). I`ve had this stool for many years. It prolly bent cause I was too fat:



    Figured if I bought a new one it would just bend. So, I bought some 2x3"s and epoxy.

    Bent the stool back with a pry bar:



    Measured:



    Cut and drilled the 2x3"s so they would mount tightly:



    Then epoxied them in place... Stool is now solid as a rock.

    Ha! Time for one of these. Put that one in the corner as a spare. Says it will handle a big boy.

    Re: Building New House - Garage Features???

    Now that is funny, swanicyouth.

    Iim surprised at the cheapo $20 Harbor Freight creeper seat I have at work. Apparently it was under a fuel tank of one of the semi`s when I was letting it down off the jack... It put a little slit in the vinyl, that`s all. Also dropped a 200+ pound wheel assembly on it (twice) and all that happened is it cracked the plastic tray which a little superglue fixed.

    New and improved for ACC, claims it`ll hold 300 lbs. Price is right.

    Why don`t you paint the walls with a semi gloss white? Reflects more light.

    This looks like an upgraded model of my $20 version. The seat looks a smidge thicker than mine and the casters are a little larger. The tray looks the same, which if it is, it`s thin metal that will bend easily if you step on it. Why would you step on it? Well, if you`re a klutz, as I am, you just do stuff like that from time to time.

    It`s more than decent for the money, though. If I had a Kreepstool, I`d feel like I had to protect it.

    Huh, the foam on all those (the cicular-seat ones) looks a *lot* thinner than what`s on mine. Mine`s a *OLD* one, from InterParts (who`ve been out of business for ages..).

    Re: Building New House - Garage Features???

    This is the coolest thing ever. So, I`m building stuff; hanging blinds & shades, and drilling stuff.

    My friend told me to get a a good cordless drill before I moved. I was like - I have a drill. I put up some Roman shades with a regular drill, and - forget it.

    Started researching what is the best cordless stuff out there for regular homeowner use.

    It`s Milwaukee M12.



    Drill:



    Impact driver (1/4"):



    This stuff is super powerful and awesome. Impact driver will strip 3/8" regular bolts - it`s super powerful. Kit comes with 2 batteries, and they last a while. Each battery charges in 30 mins.

    Used it to build a new detailing cart:

    I use those both at home and at work. Work great for so many things for being so small. Best $100 I spent on tools I think.

    I`ve been tempted to get the larger battery but how long those little ones last will surprise you.

    We use those at work on big diesel rubbish trucks, they can take some serous abuse. Also I got the heated jacket that runs on those batteries its nice but bit heavy I want to try the heated sweat shirt.
