Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

And if they can carry one, you don't want to f&ck with them.

 

Agreed! I'd be happy to help you with ideas to improve your garage lighting situation.

 

Looks good! 4000K-5000K is a good choice for a shop. LED, I assume. Are they dimmable? You know, in case you want to set the mood in there.

 

Appreciate it but I think my plan is summarized as follows:

1. Tear down garage.
2. Obtain about $30k by...uhh...anyone have a cousin Tony in the mob who needs extra help?
3. Build new garage.
4. Profit?

 

I can't argue with that. Still, you can probably improve the lighting situation in the meantime for a few hundred $$ and a day's work.

 

Lug bolts are dumb.

Also the new Crown uses them.


Dumb.

 

I also can't argue with your statement. However, thanks to the lovely advice, ideas, and persuasion from this thread I never seem to have a few hundred dollars that doesn't instantly get spent on truck parts.

In completely unrelated news, I got a delivery with some new stickers and other metal things inside a box today. Lights are overrated?

 

Uh, $30k might get you a nice shed these days. Buddy of mine got a quote for a new 2.5 car garage and new slab like 2 years ago and it was over $40k. Quote was from the same guys that did mine like 6 or 7 years ago for just over $20k.

And you know you need to get those 10' walls so you can get a lift in there. So now you need 2x6 for the walls. And outlets every 6 feet. And insulation. And heat. A new beer fridge. Toilet? You could rent out your house and just live out there.

 

LOL yeah I was just throwing out a ballpark number assuming that I'm doing most of the work myself. Realistically you are right, probably more like $40-50k. And what that means is it'll probably not happen and I'll keep buying truck parts instead.

 

I didn't even know that this was a thing. And, yet, I fully agree.. Dumb!

Woot! Now you can get stuck more!

Don't forget 8' doors, WiFi and a TV to watch YouTube tutorials.

 

When I did mine, I was all excited to save myself money and tear down the old garage myself. I rented a big ass dumpster for like $250 and 2 buddies and I tore it down with sawzalls and crow bars and got 90% of it in the dumpster in one Saturday. We were pretty damn proud of ourselves and drank ourselves stupid that night. I later found out that the guys who built the new garage would have done it and hauled it away it for $400.

 

Yup, LED...and I'm all about mood lighting.

I'll probably add some accent lighting down the road as a finishing touch.

It'll all look very different in about a month or so. Would love to have some of you guys over for a christening.

 

I mean that’s the dream right? A shed with living quarters sounds pretty great

 

Agreed. Discovered them when I went down the mkv rabbit hole

you can at least get studs to convert them which I would 100% do

 

When I bought my place 6 years ago, the detached 20x20 garage was in such poor condition that I couldn't even insure it. You could poke your finger through rot in the header. Exhibit A:



Fast forward a few years and lots of repairs on the home, I tapped into some of my equity and now I can move into some fun stuff.

I'm glad I extended the original footprint to a 24x20, but I still kick myself for not going with an 8 foot door.

 

special thanks to Pat @pearing for the bumper thank you to Tyler @LarryDangerfield for the transport and handoff to Adam @wi_taco for the transport, back to Kenosha for my bumper old or before



new

 

It came out backerds but Pat the lite fit in the hole.

 

Thanks Adam it was safari f"ken up, chrome works!

 

Glad you got it working! The funny part is on iOS all the browsers have the same underlying Safari Webkit code because Apple is anti-competition, yet their own native Safari browser sucks harder than the rest.

Now you can order wireless beer delivery at the speed of a Millenial, huzzah!

 

Wireless beer delivery!!! tell me more, tell me more!!
