Title: Pimp my Garage
Post by: Jeff on October 07, 2004, 07:05:47 AM
Well, I'm 90% there.  Insulation, wiring, lighting, heat, phone, stereo, ventilation for the paint booth, drywall, ceiling...  Oh yeah, and I've got Air Conditioning for it too 8)

Jeff,

Is that the garage in the back? As in, not the attached one?

Yeah, I just got done painting the top half of mine white and the bottom 46"s are painted gray to match my epoxied floor.   :P    I think that you should out-do me next year with a nice checker board pattern.  ;D

I wish that I had the air conditioning though...

Dude, a man after my own heart, but you need the motormat!  Just put mine in and it is good for at least 2 seconds, depending on the track  ;).

Yeah Nate, that's the back garage...  I need the front garage for the wife's car & my van (although they're outside at the moment).

I hope to have a decent paintjob this next year  :)  This will be my 4th year painting my stuff myself, and the 3rd year with my own equipment (HVLP gun, decent compressor).  I've learned a lot.  It should turn out decent.

I just need to see if the 04 bodywork will fig on the 05 bike...

Not too concerned with the quality of the paint job, but you need a design! And colors.

Let me know if you need some help!

I hear ya Jack...  We'll see what can be done.  The biggest thing is the time it all takes.  If I can get a couple sets of bodywork setup beforehand that will work.  Black/white was the easiest and quickest, and above all, the easiest to repair...

Looks good!

I'm jealous.


Is that enough work space on the work table there to keep you from having to do work on the garage floor?

And there's a girlie calendar that my WIFE brought for me, but it's up in the front garage...  No bikes in it though so it's pretty disappointing. LOL...

The one bench won't be enough space, but I'm not done with benches, shelving, etc yet.  Time & money...  Time & money...

I'm in S.E. Wisconsin (outside of Milwaukee)

As for paying anyone for anything, I'm one cheap guy...  Sure, for another $3k I could have an incredible shop, but hey, $3k is a tire budget...

Amen Alexa!  I mean, why save for a college education for the kids when I can teach them gear ratios, timing, capacities etc right at the track!
