unfinished project #1,001

I'm not sure if it will ever have a vehicle inside. I built it to hold all the waggy-bits that've been saved for years. like the R&D Unique compressor; probably had that sucker for 20 years and never got around to finishing it (still waiting on Precision Scale for a globe valve for the discharge).

also have other projects planned to go inside - after I get doors & windows fitted. British Seagull style outboard motor, old motorized reel lawnmower, the list goes on and on and on ... and most of the stuff has a personal meaning. like the Mr Peanut poster, the can of C- rations, and the pictures pinned to the back wall, 5 gallon gas can - even the da**m shovel hanging by the big door and the 1952 license plate (birthday).

even though I slipped in a wide flange beam on steel columns which will have a chainfall (at some point), it's meant more to be a regular guy's garage rather than a mechanic's. so there's going to be an accumulation of homeowner BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH - in addition to car stuff. maybe even a box of Christmas decorations up in the rafters ...... some day!

thanks for looking.

VERY nice, very realistic. I love the diagonal boards on the outside walls...I remember seeing a lot of structures built like that. Nice correct framing, too.

Haven't seen plank sheathing in construction for a very long time. This would be a very old garage.
