I am obscenely jealous of the cleanliness of NTP's garage.

My standard for a clean garage: Can we fit both the sedan and SUV in and open the doors without issue? Good to go.

That photo is missing the stuff I removed from the garage, but I do keep everything pretty organized. And anything I can hang on the wall goes on the wall.

We have a lot of peg boards for tools and what not, but when we moved in we had plywood shelves/work benches that were already in there along the walls. And of course, we need to have somewhere to store the 28 containers of laundry detergent and 13 gallons of Clorox that my wife has bought at BJ's because "they were on sale" :face:

I’d love to finish the interior of my garage with corrugated metal roofing.

I personally don't care about painting the garage. My wife is the one who recommended doing so, so if she forgets about it in the spring, it'll stay the way it is.
I plan on just priming it If for nothing else than to seal the plaster.

If we do paint it, I’ll be using something like Zinsser/Killz.

Did you have plaster walls put in your new house?

Yes. It was standard with my builder. Hardcoat plaster over wallboard. Initially I wasnt thrilled about it but couldn't be happier now. It also made painting so much easierthe skip trowel finish in most areas (other than kitchen and bath) hides the fact that a bunch of booze and pizza filled guys painted it :)

Yeah, it was definitely something we looked for in a builder. I know our house was built with quality. Stuff like 2x12 joists, copper pipe (versus pex), R21/R15 insulation, just overall know that they didn't cheap out on stuff.

I'm in West Palm Beach and meant to bring my garmin gps but forgot it. Get my rental and google maps won't work. Try mapquest (who knew they still existed) and that worked but it sucks but now google maps works and it's sucks even more. Always recalculating, non-specific turns, etc. **** you google!

I don’t even want to guess how much time it took to complete that.

we went to the car show this weekend. overall, busier than i remember but it seems like the participation from the manufacturers was less. the actual show was on the 2nd floor where historically it spanned both (its been a few years since ive been). the technology in new cars is pretty awesome
The only manufacturer that I noticed was absent was Lotus. Porsche put in zero effort again.

Sat in a ton of stuff that I always wondered about. Now I know for sure I have too much torso for an MX-5. :lol:

The original GT-40 was special.

Ran into the tint shop I use. They did the DMC and they're going to do the house eventually. Was talking to them about vinyl wraps and they agreed to do my new helmet which is cool, no job too small I guess.

Do you have a design for the helmet wrap?

agreed on the gt40. was great to see the nsx again. same thoughts on the mx5. i couldnt fit in the passenger seat, could make it work on the driver side tho

Yeah, it's a simplified version of the Vettel helmet when he was the 2007 BMW Sauber test driver. I got a fantastic deal on the helmet, but it's white. Given that I drive BMW I'm going to leverage the white and make the helmet a roundel, basically.

Fun thing about the new MX-5 is that it has the spring assisted top. You just release a latch between the seats and then pull the top up and over. Since I was too tall for the car it felt like slipping on a hoodie. :lol:
