    Nice car hole! I see that your garage doors are insulated. I will be doing the same thing next month. Our garage gets hotter than an oven during the hot Phoenix summers.



    Thanks guys! Insulating the doors made a HUGE difference. The doors face west and in the warm months get a ton of sun. They would nearly burn you to touch in late summer. Helps alot with cold too. I use those 1in sheets of foam insulation from Home Depot. a 4'X8' sheet was like 10 bucks. Think I had to use 3 or 4 to do both doors.

      That is on a list for house improvements, an insulated garage door.

          On a side note, you're also really making me want to get a set of TR C1's!

                    We only get 'em that big in Australia, along with a few snakes and crocs if you let your shed get too out of hand ;)

                    A lot of nice garages here, I need to build a new one sometime soon as my current one is a disaster with structural issues. Have permission to do so from the minister of finance, but just need to work out whether we're staying in our place long term or moving.

                      Haha, my son found a black widow next to the fuse box recently. He already hates spiders so now he approaches his car very focused and deliberate. I tell him he should do that anyway, it’s an e30 after all........

                        Doesn't live in the garage, but definitely a garage type tool, a rigged parts washer I made some time ago. Basically, a drum with a random expanding tray, the cheapest battery powered transfer pump, and a parts washer brush. Works quite well for under $50 with the cleaner.

                            Moving soon to a house with a bigger garage (well if our house every finishes selling in this crap). But I did update my garage and flooring a bit. Feels so nice to work in a clean space.
