Things for my new 24x24 garage

[redlin-er]

Hey guys help me out. I posted another thread that shows pictures and I got a few good ideas from that one but let's hear what else is out there.

Thanks.

Obviously get a good compressor... maybe put it near the door, so you can roll it outside when you want to use it. They are louder then hell... And then you will need a
1/2" impact, 3/8" impact, 3/8" air rachet,
a set of deep sockets in standard and metric, also normal set,
also a set of extensions and a universal joint
a toolbech (get a 15-20 drawer), half bay
A good floor jack. It is hard to find especially low ones.
4 jack stands
A 55 gallon drum to dump oil. There are companies that will come by and take your used oil.
A sink/hose in the garage.

take a look at the craftsman pro series. It is about as low as you are going to get. best garage mod.

get 2-8' 2x8 from home depot or what ever you have. cut each one into 1 3' piece 1 2' piece and 1 1' piece. cut a 45 degree edge on one side of all. stack 3' 2' 1' and screw them together. best way I have found to get the car in the air so it is easy to jack it up the rest of the way.

power cage, 300lbs of olympic weights, oly. bar, nice bench, dip attachments, plate holder, some rubber flooring for barns, boombox that plays mp3s, and a clock with seconds hand.


(the guys above covered all the car stuff i could think of...)
