Hey now. I gave you the go ahead to expand on our garage..... I would love to double the size of the big one........ You should have heard some of the ideas Mark came up with for it. A drive thru so we never have to back the bikes out. Totally cool....... If we only could do it....

Did a couple little things the other day. Had a lot of other shit going on though. Work has been pretty rough lately.

The rest of the baseboard was installed, and I caulked the bottom with the aluminum-colored caulking there as well:





Then I used a clear caulking on the TOP of the baseboard all the way around, so that liquids splashed on the walls wouldn't seep in behind them. In this pic it still looks like white caulking since it hadn't dried:



And this closeup shows it dried:



Unpacked all my trackside stuff and some other things and started organizing the storage room:



The blue painter's tape allows paint to bleed under a bit so there were lots of marks like this:



So I just grabbed some black pinstriping and outlined it all:





Ended up cutting all the drawer liners for all my tool chests:






Now I'll be concentrating on building the bike back up in time for the next track days and installing all the goodies I'm getting. If there is spare time, I'll start the workbench... but for now all garage stuff will be on the back burner.

It's cool that I'm about to give this place some hardcore usage. Anyone wants to help when I get stuck and break shit, I'll food and beverage you :drink:

Sweet as hell.

I hate when the blue painters tape does that.

I guess the green stuff, gator tape?, isn't suppose to do that.

Yeah I hate it too!

I saw that new green gator tape and I was like "no way, that is expensive as fuck for a roll of tape"... but now I am wondering if it really does work better... if so It's worth the price for areas that require fine detail IMO.

GREAT job, Ceo! I am still unbelievably jealous. That is a fine workshop!

Yeah Ive been wondering if that green frog tape that we have at the depot is actually worth the $9+ a roll. If I get bored at work tonight Ill pull a roll off the shelf and test it out for you guys.
