Pics of the Garage - 04-25-2009, 03:01 AM

We'll got a little bored after the kids went to bed so I did a little cleaning and organizing in the garage. Here's some pics.

Added some more lights this week and of course one blows when I take a pic.



Here are some overall shots of the garage. It is a three car garage but is long enough that I can fit my truck in it and still work on it.





Here's the cabinets where I keep most of my stuff for detailing. Just picked up the big cabinet today. Ran out of room in the smaller one.



Central Vac & Compressor



TV & Tivo for some background sound when working.



Some Detail Shots & My Little invention for getting product out of big bottles into little bottles. Works pretty slick. Screw the bottle on the bottom, pour product into the funnel. Squeeze the bottle and let go and it sucks the product in. Do it three times and the bottle is full. Then you can let it sit and the remaining product stuck to the sides of the funnel slowly drains in.





And the Security system - don't they look viscous.

Do those stepladders slide off the 2-by front or rear or do you have to pull the small ladder to get the bigger one out?

Some nice, thoughtful garage-engineering there. I'll be doing some unabashed copy-catting.

Especially like the PVC holders for your spray bottles!

Actually it is my gun safe. Next house we buy I plan on building so I am going to have it dropped in the basement before the main floor goes in.

Actually their are 3 ladders 2 six footers and a four footer. If you look closely you can see that the 2 by's are mounted to the bottom of the beam. So the four footer is on one side of the beam and the 2 sixes are on the opposite side. So you can pull either one off and not have to pull the other to access it.

I'm a little disappointed that we couldn't see what was behind the safe door. Having said that, I wouldn't show anyone either.

If I remember correctly mine can hold up to 72 long guns. And then their are racks and shelves for hand guns. Depending on how you order it, it can be set up to hold in excess of 100 long guns.

I'll post up some interior shots later.
