Yeah, I'm sure I'll do the same with a 1G when I get my own garage :)
Yeah having a garage is the greatest. The difference in what you're able to get done is insane. Especially compared to my parents garage I had grown used to growing up.....uninsulated, cramped, and only had 110v. Having a bunch of room for all my tools and 230v to run some equipment is great! Plus I'm not freezing my ass off, today it was right around 0 degrees out...but 80 degrees in my garage!

Got this finished up finally earlier this week. I'm real glad I don't have to deal with this anymore haha.

Also finally got a decent compressor, it's new to me. The fiances parents gave it to me since all they do is air up tires and blow stuff off and this was way overkill! I traded them straight up for my 20 gal 110v Craftsman. It's no powerhouse, but it puts out a bit more than 10 cfm so it does alright. Its just nice not always waiting on a compressor.

Haven't done much with this lately. The rotisserie I had intended on building had to be put on hold. I priced it out and with the cost of metal currently I would have $800 into building one, for $1200 I could have one shipped to my door. I was just gonna buck up and spend the extra $400, but we had a couple unexpected bills and my lady decided she was gonna do a summer semester after FASFA was due for it, so we'd have to pay it out of pocket. So I had the choice of either putting the project off another 8 months to a year until we had enough money that I could convince her a rotisserie was a worthwhile investment (good luck) or I could find a way to get the job done for cheap. So over this weekend I rednecked this together. Was $35 bucks in materials and some scrap metal for misc brackets. Worked way better than I imagined it would and is pretty damn solid. Good enough for blasting and redoing the undercoating anyways.

Good work! That looks ok. Keeping it cheap is what a dsm should be about! Good work hope you get more progress done soon.

Never seen a rotisserie out of wood, but I dig it!
Excellent project, not sure how I missed this thread.

Got a few things done today. Nothing too exciting. Slowly but surely. Was toying with my sandblaster and the shitty little clamp on the hose blew off. 100 lbs of coal slag all over my entire garage = a very unhappy guy. It also made me realize that I needed some sort of blast room to avoid the gross mess over my entire garage and being that the neighbors are so close, the driveway isn't an option. So I pulled together a little more redneck ingenuity and built this.

Got it all framed up. And add in a couple zip ties and duct tape and I got a damn air tight little room.

Here's a picture of the finished project and my friend Josh with the sword he made out of some extra pvc. We're kind of an odd bunch....haha...
Hopefully I'll get the yard work done and the mudroom door framed early tomorrow and I can get the underbody blasted.

Looks like with some box fans and filters it could double as a paint booth when you are done.
