Oooohhh I like the color combo! The tiles not lining up though is killing my OCD LOL!!
Lol thanks ... there's actually a design to it, the tile tapers in near the cubby then tapers back out on both sides

Thanks man, and oh yeah, it's there ... not nearly as clean as I want it, but clean enough to get both Mustangs in it

Ha I know that struggle! I keep rearranging but not easy to get both cars in with the tractor while being able to work in there AND have it look all clean/fancy.
Do you have eventual plans to put a standalone garage or carport/portable garage? Obviously stangs get garage spots but it's really nice to not have to clean the snow off the daily
We have a standalone canvas tent/hut that came with the house but it's not in an easy-to-get-to area, it's in the back yard, around some bushes and down a slight incline, so it's a great spot to hide the riding mower and other stuff, but it will never be used for a car that we use regularly.
I "want" a barn with a lift in it, and we kinda have the space to put in in the yard, but it would be in the same spot as where I want to put a shed, so not sure ...

Ah I see what you mean, I may eventually put a shed in the woods for tractor and stuff as well. I agree with you a barn would be sweet but I'm too cheap at the moment to do that. Perfect world it'd be a room tacked on to barn for yard storage like this

That ^^^ is definitely a dream right there ... but with my fast-dwindling unemployed bank account I don't see that happening anytime soon ... I would so freakin love it though ...
Today, after 2+ months of trying to get various electricians to come and do the job, I finally decided to tackle running coax cable through the basement and up into 4 different walls, and add boxes and jack plates.
Got 2 of them completely done, ran the cable for the other 2 almost all the way.

Ran the remaining 2 coax cables today, now 4 brand new RG59Q coax cables are going from a 4-way splitter to 4 different rooms.
I need to add a 2-way splitter from the room that the cable enters the house, so that room will still get cable but will also send signal downstairs to that 4-way splitter.
Can't wait to get rid of the taped-down coax currently running through the house

Why 59, and not 6?
From the chart that Home Depot had, the 59 quad was the best shielded coax cable, and since I'm splitting it into 4 and sending the signal as far as 70' from the splitter, I wanted the best
Got the coax cable finished, now have working TV's in one bedroom, the sunroom, and of course the living room.
Working coax jacks in 5 rooms.
WIFI router has been moved from the bedroom at the end of the house to the small bedroom that's pretty much in the middle of the house, a room that will eventually become an office and guest bedroom.
Having the router in the middle of the house provides much better WIFI signal through the whole place.
I am freakin psyched that I did it all myself, ended up saving over $300 in labor.

Good deal, it's always rewarding when we push ourselves to do stuff ourselves instead of paying someone else to do it. I'm currently contemplating taking on some electrical wiring but the thought of crawling around in the attic for 2 days makes my bad hip hurt.

I can't think of anything that 59 does better than 6, besides maybe flexibility?
I'm sure the 59 will be just fine. I used to work for directv and they do not allow rg59. Runs over 100 feet can noticably benefit from 6 as well.

Lol .... yeah, I'm pissed at myself for not doing it a long time ago.
My bad. It is RG6 I used.

Did you ever add in the Cat5/6 cables in while you had all the walls down?
No I didn't.
I can always do it at a later time, now that I know how and where to run the wiring.
We stream HD videos on the WiFi signal so didn't really feel the need for hard connections
