I made this bench out of the old kitchen form the house:

This bench(the vise too) came with the garage:

These shelving units also came with the garage. But i moved them to where they are now. They were originally where I have the Monte Carlo parked:

My dad got this woodburning stove from my step-grandpa a few weeks ago. Chimney isn't up yet...hopefully soon:

so is it close to your house? how did you find something that nice? do you have to pay rent?

by 74MonteCarlo Sat Oct 30, 2010 12:59 pm

It's next door to my house. The house went into foreclosure, and my dad bought it, we own it. My cousin's and uncle are living in the house now, paying rent.

It's cool having my family and cars next door to me.

KYLE first welcome back buddy

second that is kewl you got a place that is so close to home to work on your cars / store them at same time.

Hopefully in next few days my garage will be that clean again, anything not related to my build for the cutlass is going downstairs

Thanks, Anthony.

I love that my cars will be so close. In previous years, I stored my Monte Carlo in my aunts garage. She's 9 miles away from me. Not all that far, but still a PITA when I wanted to start it up every week. And last winter, the Plymouth was still at my grandpa's condo, about an hour and a half drive away form my place. So, another PITA to start it. I plan on doing some work on them this winter. Hoping that stove will heat the place up okay.

Very nice, Kyle. JB

I know right thanks KYLE made me wanna get mine in order......... not really was doing that anyways to get ready for the winter and decide what I am doing with parts from Maligoon and Limey the first

Nice.

I don't know how insurance or fire regulations are in your area, but if you were in CT I would reccamend that you have the woodstove inspected my the local firemarshal. In CT if you have a house/garage fire and you never had it inspected you might not be covered.

yes that would be a good Idea Kyle same way here in Illinois if its a add on unit like yours

by 74MonteCarlo Sun Oct 31, 2010 8:39 am

That's my dad's deal.

He's doing everything he needs to properly.

It's not done yet.

I absolutely cannot stand a dirty/cluttered garage. That's where I spend most of my time, and I want to be able to move around. Also, I don't want my babies in a dirty home Wink

lol.

Nice. Ever think about insulating it and finishing the drywall? Sure would help you keep it heated in the winter.

by 74MonteCarlo Mon Nov 01, 2010 1:55 pm

Thanks Bryan.

Yes, we are thinking of fully insulating and finishing the walls in the future. Probably with OSB/particle board, instead of drywall.

We finally got the wood burning stove completed last weekend, and gave her a test fire. Works perfectly. It has a thermostat on it, to kick the blower on when it gets hot enough. The blower kick out a lot of heat. This winter will be a trial-and-error, to see how it works without ducting. The blower blows the heat out of the small port on the right of the top of the stove. We are going to leave that for now. If extra ducts and registers are needed, they will be added. Same goes for insulation on all of the walls. I have the Monte in front of the stove now. Everything is prepared for winter. Not done driving them yet, but just prepared for when I am.

Thats a sweet set up Kyle

by 74MonteCarlo Sat Nov 13, 2010 11:12 pm

Thanks man. I can't wait to start working on the car.

by 74MonteCarlo Tue Nov 30, 2010 4:17 pm

This baby is sweet! Had her going last weekend. Started out at 42 in the garage and in a coupe hours, it was up to 74. True test will be when its 0 outside Wink

by TWBouska AKA Wooderson Tue Nov 30, 2010 5:01 pm

man screw the cold...it was 32 the other night and that was bad enough haha...coldest day here in years

by 74MonteCarlo Tue Nov 30, 2010 5:22 pm

I hate the cold so much, lol.

by JB2wheeler Tue Nov 30, 2010 7:32 pm

One time I was working on a car in a concrete block garage with no heat and a temp around 45 or 50 degrees. I was chilled to the bone , that concrete floor was COLD. It turns out that I came down with the Flu, yes the real Flu, and was in bed for a week. I was miserable. JB

I know your dad set it up correctly, But did he check with your homeowners insurance to see if they covered the garage with a wood stove in it, I know ours wouldn't, But I got lucky and found a 75,000 btu shop heater set up for propane for 75 bucks. Feel free to stop by here and talk about your garage and get some tips. Lotta good folks.

We have a propane one. I can't use it, it gives me an excruciating migraine because of the fumes. Wood stove was the only way to go so I can work.

by Jim_Rockford Mon Dec 06, 2010 6:50 pm

If you have a vented propane stove that is causing you to have headaches something is wrong with it, heat exhanger is bad.
