NMS Garage Update

Plain white walls NOW upgraded with some car related decor!

It's a new year, and we have a few new items in the NMS garage. Nope, not new cars, just other stuff! In the interior decorating department NMS-North has thrown some more car posters and flags on the garage walls to go with the garge painting job from last fall. There's a few new tools in the drawers too, so things are keeping busy here. 

Holy posters Batman!
Even the far wall by the hidden water heater got some stuff on the walls!
The Alfa Romeo flag on the top was a freebie from the F1 race in Austin. 

Once upon a time I won an auction on some government surplus tool boxes from Fort Jackson SC, and ever since then every once in a while I'll check out cars, trucks, tools, and all kinds of stuff that gets sold on auction websites. This is one of those fantasy wish things, like winning the lottery, or finding a first year Fender Stratocaster for a dollar at a yard sale! None of those things will ever happen, but it's fun to imagine. 

NMS-South still uses one of those surplus auction tool boxes in the garage too! Just last month I saw some handy garage goodies up for auction, and managed to have the winning bid for two school library audio-visual carts. You know, like when you were in elementary school and if the teacher ever brought in a TV, or an overhead projector thing. Those carts make GREAT rolling storage spots for working on cars!

New black cart!

We had some of these carts at York Tech in the auto shop, and I always liked using them to hold removed parts, or even support a drain pan if needed, or put my laptop on for working on assignments in the garage. One of my favorite YouTube mechanics (The Car Wizard) uses AV carts in his business that he bought from a school! As an extra bonus, these two carts came with an electric power strip, so that will also be handy for any electrical needs. 

Black cart at NMS-North. Pretty exciting eh?

Now I have to make a big decision on whether or not to spray paint the carts RED to match the tool boxes in the garage. Life is full of choices I guess.
