Congrats on the new purchase.

 

errrrrrr, i Had just seen the last update. Dumb shit. I would have pissed on the invoice right in front of him.

 

you worked your ass off and you have had some tough times and have powered through them. I'm seriously happy for you.

 

Sucks that happened, but bonus for the covered remodel.
Hope it all goes smoothly

 

Damn, sorry to hear that but it sounds like you may make out in the end.

 

2nd story demo is done. Will get video up later.

but here is bottom floor demo about half complete

 

What a disaster.

 

Yea. Only gonna get worse

 

Finalized estimates are in at between 900-950k 😂😂

 

That's a pricey ceiling fan.

 

 

All covered, I'm hoping.

 

I can't imagine it isn't all covered. His insurance will just go after the electrician's insurance to get reimbursed as much as they can.

 

All depends on the limits on the home owner's policy and the insurance of the electrician.............................

 

Nice house! Crazy that had happened all over a couple of ceiling fans... Can't wait to watch the remodel happen.

 

And I thought Big Ass Fans were expensive

 

We are finally back in. Still some rooms to finish. So far insurance claim is about 1.1m.

garage is almost done. Fucked up again and didn’t do floors

 

Looking good. How high off the floor did you mount the cabinets? I am working on a garage build and want finished walls but if you try and finish out from the block at the bottom you lose a good bit more interior space. Trying to decide if I want to do that way or on the floor.

 

just get swiss trax

 

12” exactly. Just enough room to store shit underneath still. Hung them up with a 2x4 under

 

my only problem with tracks is all my shit leaks 😂

 

Those tool cabinets

 

That's where Swiss Trax/Racedeck excel - the fluids hide under the tiles

 

Similar to why all the German cars come with underbody trays.

 

This is because the fire sprinkler system is not connected to the house plumbing, its diverts from the main water line coming into the house from the street and has its own shut off valve. So when a disaster like this happens, peoples first instinct it to shut off the water, then panic is amplified when they do so its the water keeps russian. Best to go to your water meter and use a large pair of plyers to turn it off.

 

But everything I read says they are a bitch to then clean. I’d rather have leaks on the surface 😂

 

Lift finally went in. Got one more coming!

 

Looking good. Now all the cars fit in the garage?

What brand did you end up going with? Still researching and trying to decide.

 

 

In for this. Will probably buy a lift next year sometime as well.

 

yea, they all fit finally. Gonna add one more lift so that I can leave the two car garage open for kids shit. We’re slowly growing a large crazy cart collection

for lift I went with autolift from Best Buy auto supplies. They talked me out of the bendpak which saved me a few grand.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost in for it? Looking on their website it seems like there are a bunch of options to choose from aside from the lift itself, what did you go with? How was the install? Did you DIY it? If not DIY, how much was the install and shipping? Really want to try and get this into the financial plan for next fiscal year lol. Oh the joys of having an accountant for a wife...

 

Interesting they talked you out of bendpak but not the first time I have heard people say that. Supposedly the quality has gone down some say. Interested in what reasons they gave you?

Bendpak is what I am leaning towards even though a bit more just cause of their 4post and 2 posts lift matchiong. Stupid reason I know as they won't even be in the same section of my garage.

 

install was $900. I did the option that came with ramps, casters, drip trays. I think $4700 total?

 

yea, seems there’s a bendpak tax that isn’t worth the squeeze

 

Awesome, thank you. Did the company you bought from do the install or did you have to find someone else to do it?

 

Dude. So awesome. Wow.

 

What a home Fantastic garage space.

 

Whoa just went thru this whole thread. Amazing house but yea that was an expensive ceiling fan

I didnt know they had such houses like this in Walnut Creek

 

I love this setup.
