My hermetically sealed roll up door -
Lol waiting on the brush seals, the door is still all but a vent.

The floor is like yoga mats easy on the feet and give an "R" factor.

Need some kind of mounts for the Monitor II 40's any suggestions?

Bailing wire and drywall screws?
@afterburnt - What kind of bike you riding?
Just got rid of my trusty Trek, and got ran over on my Schwinn Premis.
I’m on a Specialized Sirrus Elite now, but miss the Schwinn. -
@fish357 I haven't rode it in a few years by now it's rusty and crusty. Says "Diamondback" alloy frame disk brakes and 50 speed lol.
-
I noticed the crankset looks pretty nice. Those are great bikes.

Note the Glock holster lol. Ride or die.

The Specialized I ride now.
The Schwinn I bought new in 1988.This was taken right before it got hit in January. Best bike ever.
Nice little kydex feller. You ride open carry?afterburnt wrote: »Note the Glock holster lol. Ride or die.
What- a 27, or that new baby 9? What is that, a model 43? I can’t keep up.
The bike looks to be about 2007, or so. It’s in decent shape. That rear cassette, holy cats!

Yes with a G26 probably shouldn't though, I don't like to draw attention.
-
Did you know that there's like a nationwide bicycle shortage?
-
Nice. I like that one. If you check anything self defense oriented on YouTube, check out a guy named hickock45. He’s a great shot and huge glock geek.
If I’m in long pants, you’d never know I have a tomcat On my ankle. I hate attention too, plus, the element of surprise is a real bonus in a tight situation.
Yeah I do, my girls father is a bicycle mechanic.
Should never have sold my Trek. Oh well.
Definitely not getting rid of the Specialized. Ha -

Crazy bike shortage. All the way up multi thousand dollar high end bikes.
I got really lucky when I nabbed my new bike this summer before the company really started to have prolonged back orders.
I recently put a tv and stereo in my garage, also to help myself get nothing done.

Got some mounts. It's still a mess multiple projects to go. I need to fire the project manager. -
@afterburnt, is that a weighted blanket on the door?"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.

Interior design by Harbor Freight.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -

Next best thing to "interiors via the town dump's swap pile".
I really, truly planned to decorate this house with dump-find furniture, but the Harvard town dump stopped letting people leave furniture on the swap pile before the house was finished -- so we only have a couple-three dump-find pieces here.

Harbor freight moving blankets, magnets and a tarp for good measure. -

Why are you watching little kids?
The A/C is a nice touch. We are considering a new house, if we do move I have made it a stipulation that one bay of the new garage is the “bike cave” and it will be temperature controlled.

@Upstatemax That's my "NY Jets Complete History" DVD playing copyright 2007. I doubt any of those kids are still playing football. I got it mostly for the 68 Jets Superbowl III, the first Superbowl that I ever watched on a black and white TV. The New York Sack Exchange days were pretty cool too.
BTW the shed would be kindda useless as a shop a lot of the time with the temperature extremes here. I am really curious to see if this heat pump functions once it gets down to the teens, I hear most quit working once the temperature gets down to the twentys but I have one of those electric radiator looking things if it does. -
I am gonna put my little motel style refrigerator/freezer out here then all I need is a radiator funnel some hose and a potato masher then I will never have to go in the house.

I just had a hallucination of Admiral Ackbar bellowingIt's a tarp!

Doesn’t matter how old they are now, stop watching kids!
Haha.

@Upstatemax lol I was already old in 07 ugh.

You are right about the heat pump.
If you have humidity in the air at those low teens, there's heat to be exchanged. Not very much, but ours has done well down here in NC. so far.
I heard ( a long time ago ) those portable radiator heaters SUCK electricity big time.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
A pure-play heat pump does its heat exchanging with a compressible gas (some sort of chlorofluorcarbon -- the ozone-friendly, modern cousin of old-school Freon) and doesn't require humidity. It's basically an air conditioner that can run in either direction, as required, to bring the air temperature to a desired set point.
Ours will work with modest efficiency (60 percent) down to something like -20 degrees F. I am a big fan (no pun intended... well... not really, anyway).

@mhardy6647 are you running "mini splits" ? If so which ones?

Yeppers. Mitsubishi High-Efficency (H2I). We now have two outside units (three inside) now, mostly for A/C but also for milder weather heat and as a backup in case anything bad happens to the boiler (or if we run outta propane). Electricity comes from the sun (mostly), so they're basically cost-free to run, and quiet, too.
Here's a not particularly good photo of the current install (don't mind the weeds).
I told Mrs. H that our house has become the energy equivalent of a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back.
