    The cougar and ME are on the race car in the movie, not the chevelle. My wife bought me a 'Karen' for the chevelle. Karen is the name of the cougar that was in the Chevelle in the movie. So Karen will ride with me when I cruise. Phase I is pharmaceutical drug testing in healthy people prior...

    Visitors are always welcome, where do you think I get these ideas - (not from me). I couldn't take it anymore - with bad weather moving in and the possibility of not getting cars in for a while, I moved them one at a time on a trailer to the concrete pad behind the garage and moved them in. 4...

    The tile is done but the weather is keeping us from pouring the concrete drive!!!! I COULD put the cars in the garage but cant drive them there. I might start moving some on the trailer which will still be a mess with the mud. Got the flat screen and stereo in. The cabinets really suck in...

    Here is the latest update. The tile finally got laid down today. This means that I can put cars on the tile Jan. 1st, 2010!!!!! Here is a pic of the general design. Pictures just don't do it justice. I'll send more when it is grouted and cleaned. Here is the custom forged railing. This...

    Important lesson: The owner of the previous company that I worked for called me that when I quit. Not sure why since I was a full blown programmer at 18, world wide director of IT at 25 and got to fire every boss I had there except for the VP. Anyway, we put he out of business and became the...

    I started hanging some wall stuff and looking forward to getting the lifts in. My tile guy is getting tired of me counting sqft each day to measure his progress! the HO T5s (6 bulb) really light up the floor nice it was a nice night for a test fire!!

    My computer crashed during my last big update, I'll make these in multiple posts to avoid that this time. Ok, tile finally got released from customs but came in the wrong color. Plan B - redesign the floor and start scrambling to file other tiles in the US that were from the same lot. It...

    anybody have pull with STL customs?

    This company receives shipments from Italy all of the time but of course they pick on mine to inspect. Should only hold it up for a couple of days. I guess the USDA thinks I have some olives or pizza stored in there. We will be bugging them enough so it shouldn't get lost in backlog of...

    anybody have pull with STL customs?

    Hi everyone, I have a shipment of tile from Italy for the man cave and received notification that it has an USDA hold on it. I guess the shipment is in STL. I thought that if anyone had any pull in the STL customs area that my tile wouldn't get held too long or at least maybe it could be...

    Here is the fireplace. Tile has arrived in the USA and is ready to be put down. It is hard to put a shot of the 14 HO T5 lights that make it bright on the 2500 sqft floor. My big shop has 22 T5s on 6,000 sqft and is well lit. Not much else to report until it is complete. It will take 4 full...

    dammit, that is a good idea but it is just simple drain tile. This is a 'show room' style garage that people (Bill Pemberton) will sleep in. I have two other garages for the messy stuff. We are pouting concrete on the patio today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We could put plenty of beds in between the cars and create a VCA bunk house!! We are all about having a party there but you will be the headlining comic. Bring lots of jokes about locking keys in your car, using a leaf blower to clean a rural highway....etc.
