    It will take some time, but I want my garage to look like that.


    Where the hell did you get the traffic light? I love it!

    Thank you. It's an old house. The original part of the house was built in 1903. We bought it planning on a project though.

    The garage is newer but still old. It's overall in good shape though. I need to do the floor at some point. I think 30-40 years of salt from cars has done the damage. The garage is last on the list for major stuff, so the floor will have to wait for now.

    I did install a new opener the other day though. The old one was hanging crooked, didn't have safety eyes , no safety cables in the springs, broken car remotes, no outside keypad, and the pressure safety was WAY too heavy. Needless to say, I was granted "permission" for the new one under the guise of safety! :D

    The stoplight I found at a swap meet. It was a rainy day with a low turnout, so I got a good deal on it. It was wired so that when you plugged it in all of the lights came on and stayed on.

    I picked up a little controller on a Ebay and rewired it. Now, the lights cycle like a normal traffic light. You can also make certain lights flash, adjust the time each light stays on, etc. I like it cycling like a normal light though.

    So, I noticed a few old signs on the floor behind the counter at my local parts store. I asked the guy of they ever sell any. He took my name and #. This was a month ago. He called me a couple days ago.

    Here's what I got:

    And the best for last...
