Well for my birthday this year Courtney bought me the materials to spruce up my garage. I started by removing the old sheet rock due to the fact their was no insulation. The previous owner sometime over the years had hung 1/4 inch sheet rock, it was barley there and only attached with a few nails. It came off so clean I could have re used it. But I decided to go back with 3/4 inch plywood. I also poured a new work bench, I really missed my old concrete work bench. I made this bench half the size of my old bench in the hope that It will not become a catch all as the old one did. I did make it about a foot wider than the old one. Painting the fresh plywood seems to be a bigger job than I had anticipated and I also learned that I really suck at caulking.
