June 15, 20159 yr Author comment_471990 Almost two months and a few thousand dollars later, I am seeing the light at the end of the garage tunnel.... A few more sheets to go up on the ceiling, a little more vent work and a coat of paint and the interior shell will be done! After that, I will set up a couple benches and a shelving system and install the overhead fluorescents and the car project can finally begin!!!! whew....

July 2, 20159 yr comment_473081 Now you got me curious. What is that gadget left of the window? That down to the left of the "Dad's garage" sign. Cool sign btw.

July 2, 20159 yr Author comment_473087 The controls you see are for the sprinkler system. Top one is the remote rain gauge. They were already in when I bought the place so I had to leave them where they are. There is also a thermostat for the furnace and then the power panel. Below that is the 240v welding circuit.
