A Home for RevDisk

I actually ranted about that myself!  It just wasn't on APS.   
...
Detcord.  There, someone had to say it.

Because it's REVDISK. Since when do we have to remind revdisk of the many ways to secure his valuables and weapons?
Hell, he's the one WE go to for that advice.

True that.  Rev can correct me, but I think I prefaced my rant with something to that effect.  "Now, I probably don't need to say this, but..."

*snort* I can tell you right now, I always figured if, for some reason, I visited rev, I'meeting him at a public location and will follow in his actual footsteps, until he says I am inside the perimeter.

Momma didn't raise no fool and I don't want to be all explody.

you can't do everything with a pickup you can do in an SUV. 

You might be surprised what one can do in a pickup

When it comes to backing a trailer, the farther the wheels are from the towing vehicle the easier it is to control.

The tailgate on a 2001 Ford Ranger is at the perfect height.

I'd be tempted to shuffle in random directions, or take off in running starts to see if he turned white, or got upset, or made a lunge to stop me.

But that may be because I have four daughters, a wife, and a female dog and female cat in my house.

Death, if sufficiently sudden and physical just loses it's fear.

Seriously, AJ: were you like Hitler in a previous life? That kinda karma should take something MAJOR

Try a VW Bug.

And to think, it hasn't even gotten bad yet. Wait until the girls hit puberty.

That's when AJ will be sitting up all night cleaning his guns.

That is when we find AJ curled up in a corner comatose, drooling on himself.

Can't believe no one has mentioned this, but you also need to look at securing your .... weapons and such. Motion detector, cameras, trip wires, etc. Just saying.

Don't forget to put a freezer in the garage so you have plenty of food on hand when we come up and take over Chez Rev. 

Obviously, that is not a problem:  http://revdisk.org/blog/?p=66

I'm just not posting my thoughts on physical security of my toys here on the public interwebz.

Re food, not a problem either.  Probably not a freezer, but we'll see.

I'd suggest efficient shelving for the garage right off the bat.  I built mine out of 2x4's and osb, using drywall screws to put it together.  One man operation, but an extra set of hands is useful.







I built mine to accommodate rubbermaid bins for storage, coolers, etc.  Ymmv.  Dimensions depending on needs.  I can climb that set of shelves if there isn't a ladder handy.  Oh and I put peg boards on the ends for hanging tools.

*I* would just hit the ground.  I'm not cruel enough to save your life.

 

But seriously, there will probably be no landmines due to local regs.

Yea, that's what I've been looking at. Maybe something other than plywood, because I wouldn't mind it looking pretty.

Trouble with shelves is they're only as pretty as the stuff you put on 'em.  Cabinets ftw.

Shelves are much easier to build - and dirt cheap to boot.  No hinges, latches or pulls.  (Granted, this is for garage/basement utility shelves.)

[BridgeRunner]

Thank you, Nick Obvious. I just figure Rev's got his own place, he's got all kinds of plans, a to-buy list a mile long...

Why not contribute to the mental and budgetary mayhem with fun ideas like garage cabinets.    Besides, what better way to pick up cabinetry skills than with garage storage as a first effort?

Plus, I would think, for a working type garage, they would be easier for grabbing what your looking for quickly.
Also, you'd be dealing with odd shapes and such, that might not fit behind the door.

I also have always thought that peg board with hook type things look really convienient for tools and such. No digging about in a drawer or box, just snag it off the wall and get back to work.

[BridgeRunner]

True.

Plus easily accessible improvised weaponry. Rev being Rev, the garage could become the site of a pitched battle at any time.

Has anyone mentioned webcam?

(mearly so we can critique his form and follow through  )

[Jamisjockey]

If you want pretty garage shelves, paint them.  Cabinets are nice for some things, but for larger things and odd shaped stuff cabinets suck.  I believe in sturdy garage shelves that will hold a lot of weight.  I also like to be able to see stuff, or label bins if that's what stuffs in.

And if built right, they'll serve as bunks for slaves/concubines in a pinch.

[RevDisk]

The shop comes with a massive peg board, which I've already purchased pegs for. 

Probably going to pick up a "Real Organized 74"H x 48"W x 18"D Steel Freestanding Shelving Unit".  Looks a bit better than 2x4 and plywood, and has 350lb weight per shelf load. Should be more than enough for random stuff.

I build mine sturdy enough that if he added an industrial grade freezer unit to the garage he could stack victims in there like cordwood.
