My new garage with attached house

**LightngSVT** · 05-05-2006, 04:59 PM

Thats what I was thinking originally too, #2.

Here are 2 pics, I thought I had more. One shows my wifes Mariner, my Aunts Montego and my wifes Dad`s Bettle in one side with about 10-12` to spare behind the Mariner still! The second is a pretty poor panorama shot when we were moving stuff into the garage for the house.

OK, its been a loooong time since I`ve updated. Unfortunatley not much has changed, but I did complete Phase 1 which is unpacking and organizing / arranging everything. I basically have 5 more phases:

Phase 2- skim coat drywall, final sanding and paint walls ceiling (probably going to hire this out)

Phase 3- install lighting in the ceiling (5- 8` 4 bulb and 2 4`)

Phase 4- finish the floor (not sure what to do now?)

Phase 5- finsh the "fish area" near the entry door (redo filter, tile wall, etc)

Phase 6- odds and ends (air lines, heater, TV, tool racks, etc)

Looks great! Thought I don`t envy you the time it will take to finnish off and paint all that drywall. Oh, I like the second layout.

LightngSVT....

Your "Michigan antiques" caught my eye! I have several old, old tubs of Wolfshead grease that came from my Grandfathers garage, "The Bloomquist Garage" in the 1930`s. The family is from Lansing, Michigan. I also have a license plate from one of his cars. Here is also a pic of my "antiques" from his garage. A cabinet and some grease...unopened still. (The spout is not old)

This is Grandpa, Axel Bloomquist. Moved from Sweden to Michigan.

That is pretty cool! I need to get some more antiques to decorate the garage.

Time for a thread resurrection as I really enjoyed reading this back in the day. I don`t see the pics showing up any longer? Are you still living here Chuck?

Yes, it was an interesting thread.

Hopefully someday I too shall have a "Ye old atuo/ wood shoppe with attached house. I know I will start a thread when I do. It may be sooner than I think.
