He painted so he didn't have to buy a screen.....

I'm 100% satisfied with my painted screen, the picture is phenominal! Avatar and Transformers on Blu-ray were ridiculous. 106" of crystal clear picture, you'd never know it was merely rolled on paint on the wall.

So this is happening. Made the down payment and plans got approved by the community association today.

We'll go from a 10x10 basic deck off the main floor with no lower-level landscaping to a 12x14 deck off the main floor, partially maintenance-free railings, stairs down to the lower level, 12x12 paver patio under the deck, another 16x14 paver patio next to that, "floating" built-in bench made of maintenance-free decking, elevated planter made of the same maintenance-free decking, and associated landscaping. We might add some deck lighting and landscape lighting into the mix too, but we're not sure. We'll have more space than furniture, so we'll also get an outdoor table and chairs, more outdoor lounge seating, and I'm campaigning for a propane fire pit. I'll have to take some before and after pics.

Man I forgot about this thread! I have a few garage-related updates...I'll start with my own in-the-city/ghetto garage mods update. After installing the heater I got to thinking, what if I could fit 3 cars in there? A few people said hell no, some said hell yes, I said game on.

Got a little crazy and started ripping out the epic 16x4' workbench that my dad and I built when I first moved in almost 10 years ago. This workbench is HUGE and it has been amazing as I have hosted newb mod days, done motor swaps, clutch jobs, countless short shifter and lowering-spring installs, brake jobs etc etc etc over the years. But these days, it turned into storage space. I opted instead to install a bunch of extra shelving all around the garage and give this thing the axe:

Turbo helped (as there was mice running around last fall):

Under the main bench base/riser, can you tell this is a dsm'ers garage?

Now time to rip apart the rest of the workbench :(

I cut about 15" off the back the long way, little more mangeable size:

Starting to rearrange:

I made brackets for all kinds of stuff. I made brackets for brackets. Anything I could do to get stuff off of the ground: jackstands, engine hoist parts, engine stand, funnels, etc:
