    Well it has been a month since I posted about the garage.
    Got the finals done this week...I now have POWER:yahoo: passed all inspections 1st time around. I checked out all the outlets, lights and switches and only had a couple of minor things to fix. I now have lights

    I am talking to a company here local about polishing my floor http://www.perfectpolishonline.com/

    Going tomorrow to get the flooring for the game room. I have a little trim and paint and 2 interior doors to install then it will be finished. Then I get to relocate all my tools from the old garage to the new one.

    Then maybe I can get started on a maverick or two.

    The only thing I do not like about that garage is that is not in my back yard.

    I live i the county so we do not have to be bothered with codes, permits and inspections. Those are revenue generators for the city.

    It sounds like a great structure, Good Luck!

    Hope I have it done by then, and started taking apart the comet, so I can free up the trailer. I havent moved a thing since you came by a few months ago. I have a couple of neighbors that would like to see me reduce my hurd by a few. which I plan on doing.

    My witch of a neighbor got forclosed on and is now gone:dancing::clap:. The bank auctioned off the house, I went to it and it sold for $96,000. the couple the bought it are nice...so far....he won't complain about my cars, as he has 9 mail jeeps:yup:.
