Having a single garage that is jam packed and has no heat limited my garage activity unfortunately LOL. But I did repurpose some of my grandmothers old frames for these antique parks passes:

Those look great. I like the backdrop of maple leaves and birch bark especially.

You can get a trailer load shipped in from the mainland by the time I get there.

Snow blower "blew up" . disbelief   took apart by myself and the internet.. 

Bought a new "hi performance" belt for it . 

Installed and it sounded like a big block with a rod knockno

"Uncle Bernie" came in and bent my auger and its arms back into shape . 

Apparently the piece of 2x4 I hit, wrecked havoc with auger

Ready for more snow!!

It's only the first hole that hurts Carl. Best to start small like this job. Then you won't even feel the big hole later.....

 That's too warm for working. Only good for drinking beer and watching paint dry. But I'm sure that's the plan. wink

 If no one had ever seen the car before, 99 out of a 100 would not know the difference   Add the tach, cut the hole and add 4 speed .  and double its value wink

Stripping three layers of wallpaper in what I hope will be my "man cave". I was using one of those little steamers which was taking way too much time. I bit the bullet and bought a Wagner wallpaper steamer which has a large applicator for the steam. It's making the job easier but still tedious. I'm finding lot's of sins in the plaster underneath. Not sure how I'm going to tackle that- I really should gut it down to the studs and drywall but that's a bit more $$ and labour that I would like to do. We repaired the plaster in my son's room and it turned out pretty well. From what I've seen plaster is never as "straight" and perfect as drywall anyway. That's likely the reason people wallpapered over the walls in the first place. I've also considered using paintable wallpaper however I hate applying wallpaper! The wife of a co-worker told me she loves to apply wallpaper. Maybe I can talk her into doing it for me!

 That is the only way I deal with multi-layered wallpaper on paster & lathe ... The easiest way and most perfect way, but very messy.
