    Lifetime warranty for batteries is amazing, didn’t know anyone did that.
    It's pretty handy, although the lifetime warranty only applies to batteries bought as part of a tool kit. Loose batteries don't get the lifetime warranty sadly.

    Started out doing wheel bearings. Ended up building lift perches for my rolling jack so I can lift the truck without killing myself.

    Built my cross cut sled for my table saw. After building it, I got it accurate to 0.175 of an inch over about 10 inches. Ran my measurement calculations and made a few adjustments, and in the end I was able to get the error margin down to 0.00025 of an inch over a 35 inch span. It's not going to get any more accurate than that! Lol

    Also finished up my dust collection cart. Tried to use the little wheels from the shop vac, but that isn't going to work so I need to get some smaller castors for it. This was build purely for function, didn't worry much about the looks here.

    Love it. When ever the rubber castors go on sale at princess auto I pick up a few to keep on hand for when I get ambitious and decide to build something. They are good to have in your tickle trunk.

    Having a serious case of Garage envy right now!! That is an amazing garage.


    We spent the weekend fixing and painting my garage door, fixing and painting any damage to our walls, and met with our realtor to get our house on the market by Thursday!! It's picture day tomorrow, then 3 months (or less) of keeping it show home clean.

    It's a 4 car tandem, but the main rectangle is 26x22 and the tandem part is the man cave 10x11. All together just over 700sqft. And yes these cars are small, if I threw my f150 in there it would eat half of it lol.

    I know it's on the ceiling but all those black cords for the lights look sloppy, I'd bundle and tie up the slack and add white wire loom to make it almost disappear. Even without that done it's still a killer garage overall, nice work
