Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted February 8, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted February 8, 2021 Not to make you jealous but I built my detached 2+ car garage myself with an attached shop. In the shop I installed an in-wall 1500w 120v heater wired through an inline T-stat (you just leave the units T-stat on high and just use the on-fan-off buttons) and as I keep it on 24/7, even in these temps it keeps the shop at 45 until I turn it up when I'm in there. I also have a small portable 1500w cube heater for task heating. My shop is separated from the garage by an insulated wall with a 5'-6 pocket door in it (a 3 foot service door opens directly into the shop), so I can hit one remote and activate the garage OH door and pocket door auto operators and ride right into the shop. The walls and ceiling are R19~R30 respectively. There's a window (with burgled bars and alarm system), a mop sink with tankless water heater fed by a freeze proof hydrant with an auto blow down drain cock, a 220v 9000 btu wall sleeve AC unit (can you say chilly in July?), an original model Handy Lift, a 18 cfm @ 90 psi air compressor with 60 gal receiver (located in the garage next door for sound seperation and not take up shop space, the garage has its own natural gas sealed burner furnace), 20 feet of work bench, 3" & 6" vices, a gas MIG welder but I sold my 175a square wave gas TIG, though my basement shop has a drill press, lathe/mill, floor grinder / buffer, etc), tools up the yin yang, a fridge and microwave wall mounted above the work benches, duplex and 2 gang outlets every 4 feet including in the ceiling (the garage-shop has its own 100 amp service panel and meter which is read and billed with the house combining kW usage), 6 twin tube solid state starter florescent ceiling light fixtures with LED tubes plus task lighting, carpeting, AM/FM/DVD/Ipod player and of course a laptop and WiFi. I can only fit 3 bikes in the shop which is the only bummer. Do you hate me more? And I'm still lethargic so haven't been out there much since the pandemic and due to poor health. I guess I've spoiled myself. And the Super Bowl was also a bore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white panels just didn't look right, but a bit of black vinyl and you're golden. Did you do it yourself, or have it done? I'd never wrapped anything before I did mine, and they were substantially more complex to wrap than I anticipated. I'm gonna plastidip mine next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, the small touches of red on the tank, pipe, seat and wheels set it off nicely. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the most excitement I'll have on two wheels for a while. I did about 200 miles through my back yard (the hills of SE TN). It’s the first chance I’ve had in a few weeks. The sun was shining. It was glorious. 3 1 1 Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my suspension serviced every other winter and it is coincidentally due this winter, - perfect timing. 👍 What suspension shop do you frequent @betoney?
