OK guys.... I wanna see the REAL ballers step forward.

As most of you may know Veli is building the ultimate MONSTER GARAGE. the contractor should be done with the exterior framework and such within the next few weeks.

I am looking to get everyone together for a Home Improvement Meet.

He will need help installing R-13 Insulation and Sheetrock to the inside of the garage. I am looking for a list of folks that will be willing to pitch in for a day in any way possible. Whether it be, with tools, drywall skills, collecting and bagging garbage, making beer runs, grilling hotdogs -- whatever: you get the picture.

I'd ideally like everyone to pitch in and help out to get this job done in a day. instead of 2 weeks. Carpooling is ideal as there really isnt parking for a dozen IS300's :)

What do you think?

rich, seriously tell veli to consider laying lines before he pours the cement floor. my dad runs his heat thru the floor in his new shop, and it is amazing how warm the garage stays, and its nice to lay on warm cement rather than cold cement. also saves $$$$ on heating bills. although, my dads shop is 6 beys wide and about 8 cars deep, so maybe he would make out better with a kerosine ehater or something. but just some food for thought

I gotta find out from Veli when it will be complete ... Maybe we can plan something for after Xmas? I got a good Werner Ladder and all kinda tools and crap from just owning a house that can be used.

It'll be like our own Extreme Makeover - NE Shocker Home Edition.

Mike we have hot water heat here.... I dont know how that wil laffect circulation Veli is gonna use electric heaters mounted from the rafters. and he has a few propane heaters from before. He thought about all that stuff and will rather do electric heat..... I not sure about the details, but I think in ground heating is out of the question, as cool as it is :)

I'd be more than happy to help out Veli. I also have one of those multipurpose work ladders, and can also bring my Weber and charcoal (if Veli doesn't have one at his house) to grill hot dogs and hamburgers if need be. Just give me advance date so I can set my weekend work schedule accordingly.

I'm up for this.

I think maybe Asian mike as well.

I dunno if you want henry near any tools. Hell I dunno if you want me near any tools either. You'll end up with a garage that you never use, but clean constantly.

I have a lot of ideas for garage designs after messing with mine for so long. STORAGE
