The "House Projects" Thread

[BASixxer]

Saw this on a few other forums, and it's neat to see what other people are doing to their homes, and it helps to give others ideas based off what you have done. I know a lot of us bought new homes within the last year, so let's share ideas on what we have done to improve/degrade them.

So, what have you done lately?

[Psycho Bob]

come on you know we don't care about the house so much as the upgrades for the garage ;)

[Oldokie]

Not doing much of anything to mine because the wife is planning on buying a new house. Problem is, she's been looking for 3 years and so far, nada!

[BASixxer]

Haha, some times it takes women a decade.

[Psycho Bob]

isn't a NEW house something you could decide how it's built. guess that costs way more though

[Oldokie]

If it's taken her 3 years of looking for a house, consider how long it would take to decide on doorknobs, faucets, colors, drapes, etc?

[Psycho Bob]

well maybe next decade you'll have a new place

Thinking of carpeting the garage in an attempt to reduce the dust. Hopefully the carpet will catch the dust then just run the vacuum. Also, it might keep her (The Roush) feet warm in the winter.

speaking of, anyone have any floor coating in the garage? ive been looking at some.

groits garage sells some. claims it wont ever pull up off the floor. its about 60 a gallon plus what ever grit/chips you add to it. basically the way i look at it is the house is hers the garage is mine. im trying to get all the extra crap outta my garage so i can get it the way i want it. but this will be one of the first things i do

I know Aaron has a thread about his new house project that he did this to. It's one of my plans before the cars move in full time. Trish says to wait, but I want to do it before any oil gets on the ground, since it can be a pain after.

Gonna be an oil and coolant mess when I install my cam, would like the coating down before that.

[Psycho Bob]

definitely want to put it down before you start using it. give her some paint and put oil all over the wall and tell her "there you go see if you can get it to stick."

[BASixxer]

for sure.

I'm going to run the vacuum later........

[BASixxer]

oh damn

[BlkonBlkRS3]

You no like my carpet idea? You see I figure carpet because I am not working on my car for at least 6 years. That warranty thingy is a blessing. I just need a nice place to store her.

[BASixxer]

Red carpet

[BlkonBlkRS3]

Great idea and maybe cut out the R and put the black carpet in to make the Roush symbol. Now your talking Lee. LOL
