Made some light renovations to our 2-car garage.
95% done repainting walls and doors using Behr Premium plus White in semi-gloss providing brighter glow and more mold/water resistant too. Increased HP by .6
Replaced the torn up garage door bottom sealMan that was not fun. Did not slide easily like YouTube vids . Had to trim to fit and use a screwdriver/soapy water to wedge each section in inch by inch. Now looks much better now to seal out dust/water. Increased HP by .008
Washed cars. Increased HP by 3.
Purchased a new shelf unit with some Craftsman storage containers to minimize clutter. No HP increase.
Newer looking garage with clean cars parked inside. Way to ring in 2020!!!!!

Sounds like when I replace my garbage disposal about 3 years ago and the videos were saying the old one could just unscrew out of the mount. Sure...if it wasn't rusted onto the mount! Not to mention the flange was completely stuck on as well, so I ended up just getting vice grips and bending it in so it would fit through the sink hole once I got the rest of it unstuck.
I'm redoing my garage as well. It will be a basic man cave. With Dolby Atmos Klipsch system w/125" motorized screen, two workbenches, tool box, etc. I have installed a diy mini split A/C which is great, it gives cold and heat as well. It is smart on top of that.
Last week I have changed the oil and it was great, to work in a 72 degree garage.
Nice! If you're interested in a lighting upgrade, may I suggest the deformable LED lights? They screw into the standard E26/27 socket but put out a fuckton more light. They look like these ones, but the ones I bought came from AliExpress. I can post a picture if you want to see the output.
Boy, that’s so nice and I just don’t think my wife would let me do it.I'm redoing my garage as well. It will be a basic man cave.

These are all serious stuff ⋯ (cool)I want to make it like a room w/insulation(almost done). 7.1.4 system, Onkyo TX-RZ730, 2x towers w/2x8" drivers, 4x bookshelves, and 4 x ceiling speakers, 1 x 15" sub, 1 x 10" sub, 1 center speaker( 4 x drivers).
All Reference Premiere series, not the Best Buy cheapy ones.
Video surveillance system, put together by me, server build by me running on Blue Iris, with all Dahua commercial grade cameras, not all in one box from Costco. These are big all metal cameras, 2 x PTZ once, one w/auto tracking. Licence plate monitor as well, w/licence plate recorder w/pictures.

Congrats.Brought it home...2019 CX5 Signature in EBM.
Congrats.
I see you joined in October. Did you just buy it or was it in for repairs (sorry if you've said elsewhere)? I joined August 2018 and finally made my purchase in March 2019.
ps: Nice color choice. Same color as my Reserve. I love it. You don't see many of that blue around.
I started out looking for a low-mileage used SUV/CUV and discovered that the payments (high resale value x used car interest rates) were not all that much lower than buying new at the promo interest rates. I ended up at the Mazda dealer kinda by accident...it was next to Carmax. (I wonder if the high resale value of used cars is still the Cash For Clunkers effect).Thanks AD! Just bought it today after looking at the Tiguan, CRV, and new Escape. I think it was simply the best value of what I looked at, and I couldn’t see spending more for less...simply to be getting a “premium” nameplate.
This seems to be my personal experience that whenever I accomplished some major work to my car, something bad happens ⋯My s*** got hit today
Sideswiped by a truck who "didn't see me" when changing lane (we'll call it that since he was cooperating). Damage on driver fender and bumper cover, scuffs on wheel. Also the mirror went in but il have to look at it again for dmg. Got rear ended last month by a company van too, hadn't had that fixed yet but just got the payment to do so from the offenders insurance. So I guess I'll just get both fixed at once.. ppl around here are suck drivers
