Thanks! Some of it might be nicer than my house too. I was kinda in a rush on that since we were living in a camper. Hence the "don't have or want an RV ". 14 months was enough for a lifetime.

After a pack rat started building a nest on the battery of the 99, I decided to move everything in, even though I will need to move some out to finish a few things.
First time since we got the wife's Escape and the two door that there's been no vehicles in the driveway.

I figured out what to put on the shelf above the beam.
Made some jambs and casing for the opening between garages. I edge banded plywood for the jambs but only had enough oak for the side casings. No way in hell I would ever pay Home Depot almost $14/ board ft so I was planning to go down to Phoenix and stock up on oak and poplar. Mentioned that to the neighbor and he gave me an oak shelf that he had taken down. Just the right length and width for both tops.
Used some more of the extra tile to cover the concrete of the bathroom step- up

Built a couple of workbenches mostly from stuff I had laying around. Home Depot had a deal on butcher block countertops so I went with those.
I thought I had a couple cherry boards to use for drawer fronts but when I dug them out discovered they were aromatic cedar. Used them anyway.
Now every time I start my dust collector the shop smells like cedar. The two boards were just enough to do five fronts so I had to do something different
for the other workbench. Found some leftover laminate from the kitchen counters and just enough assorted pieces of particle boad to make four fronts.
Finished those up last night, will get pics when they're installed.

Turned out okay. I swear I cut the top three faces so the pattern would line up, but tried every possible orientation and couldn't get it to work
