Weekend in the Garage

May 20, 2008 – 7:43 am

I spent almost the entire weekend plus Monday in the garage. I think I knocked out most of the projects that have been lurking on the to-do list for a while now:

In the garage:

  • made 2 sawhorses
  • made a big, sturdy 8′x2′ workbench (cost: $50 worth of lumber). You could park a car on this thing.
  • installed four new lights
  • installed eight new outlets (quite an improvement over the previous total of one)
  • took down the old klunky outside light and put up a 300W halogen with motion sensor

On the Lambretta:

  • trimmed the front brake cable and housing
  • installed an anti-rattle clip in the front brake disc (too big, had to cut it and grind it down)
  • replaced the stock fork springs with Deanspeed progressive springs
  • built an LED taillight (no flicker, 3W max power draw, brighter than stock)

So, yay. Now I need to take some pictures. Oh, and get back to real work.
