Well it’s been almost two years since we moved here to Idaho. New house on 1 1/4 acre. The best part is the garage is 1800 square feet. The car lift is all done except for the electrical, I am going to steal the power from the clothes dryer, that’s why I bought a gas dryer when we moved in. We had the floor epoxy coated. Unfortunately I found out that the color we picked out will hide every nut bolt and washer that you drop.
Now it’s time to start back to the landscaping now that the weather is getting nice. I still drive both Triumphs whenever it is not raining or snowing. 18 degrees with the top down is refreshing!

Wow that looks great. The loft you set up looks very handy.

I like the GT6+ garage, Luke. It has a refrigerator for the beer, conveniently located next to the carburetors.
Took my 3 for a drive today in beautiful Ca. weather. (finally) and by the time I got back I had almost no brakes.
Back to work bleeding.

46EEE73F-182F-42C6-8BFC-F2112D53A8BA.jpgFinally had time to finish the lift. We are getting a lot of rain here. So no landscaping today. It was a little nerve wracking parking the TR3 under the 250 the first time. Now I can park the Dodge truck in the garage.
The floor is a two part epoxy, I love the color, but do not do this color ! If you drop a nut bolt etc. you won’t find it until you kneel down on it. I am using my I pad and can’t figure out how to turn it 90 degrees!
P.s. I covered the TR3 with a drop cloth to protect from dripping oil.
