jclars Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Fantastic! What type door for the front opening? Exciting times! Can't wait to see your project car in there! John Quote
Kilgore47 Posted February 8 Author Report Posted February 8 The big door you are looking at in the last picture is leading into the back yard. This one will be a roll up door. On the other side facing the street I'll have an insulated regular garage door. Going with an insulated door because I plan to add AC. Those 100 degree summer days can be hard on an old guy. The door between the garage and the shop will also be a roll up door. Quote
jclars Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 Two doors like that will allow you to push one car into the yard for temporary use of the garage for a second car. Maybe even a future car port in the back for extended overload situations (like friends wanting to use your lift - ask me how I know!) Although my wife has a rule about cars as yard art. I can have as many as I want as long as she doesn't see them in the yard. Of course there is the occasional overflow situation! But the rule helps guide me into not being too much like a hoarder. If I want any more projects, a finished one has to go! Of course that helps fund the next one, so a happy balance for both of us! Quote

Is the roll up door gonna be the corrugated tin type that winds around a drum? Those are tricky to seal for a climate controlled room. Quote
Booger Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 wow quite the undertaking. Am I on the Home Improvement channel? Just kidding. nice to have room for projects for sure. listen "teenseniors" dont get hurt. Nice job! Quote
Kilgore47 Posted February 13 Author Report Posted February 13 The construction is done. Took three months. They did a great job as usual. Now I go to work. Hang stuff on the walls - install the lift - add the air piping - - -. On 2/10/2025 at 12:48 PM, JBNeal said: Those are tricky to seal That door does not seal good. I may consider a different door latter. 6 Quote

Kilgore47 Posted February 24 Author Report Posted February 24 The doors are installed and the heat is hooked up. Tomorrow I plan to install the lift. We were going to install it last Wednesday but it didn't get above freezing that day so I put it off till tomorrow. This will be my last entry to this post. When the 50 that I got from Alshere59 on the lift I will start another post about working on that car. More news latter on another post. 2 Quote
