Changes might be coming… and they aren’t good.
Buried in the 1500 page bill is a very long section on the Retrofit for Energy and Environmental Performance program, REEP for short.
There are big things stirring… and they are stirring in the FaceBook world.
A couple of weeks ago, while releasing the ability for people to have custom URLs on FaceBook (mine is FaceBook.com/LaneTheGarageGuy… someone beat me to LaneBailey) they also released custom URLs for Fan Pages. But, the only fan pages eligible were those that had over 1000 fans. I wasn’t anywhere near close…
This past weekend, FaceBook released custom URLs for Fan Pages with 100 or more fans. All of my real estate friends, and some of my other business friends were scrambling to get fans in order to meet the 100 fan level. And so was I.
Originally there wasn’t going to be a floor on the number of fans, then it was 25, then 100… so there were a lot of us that were left to scramble.
I’m still working towards 100 fans for the two pages I have, LaneBailey and LilburnDwellings. Feel free to drop by and become a fan if you are a member of FaceBook… and if you aren’t, you should be…
I am quite literally down to a handful of fans before I can get custom URLs for these pages. It is nerve wracking…
Aside from the business, it is all in good fun. The pages are light and fun, as well as entertaining and loaded with useful information (at least I hope so). Stop by, become a fan, post up your comments and feedback. I’d love to hear from you.
There are basically three kinds of garages…
Most garages are storage sheds. They hold tools, lawn mowers, cars, sporting goods, cleaning supplies and overflow food in the chest freezer.
The next most common group are working garages. Whether it is building a hot rod or keeping the family rides in tune, they have tools and parts and more tools.
Finally, there are the showplaces. These are less garage and more gallery of mobile art. And some of them are incredible. They are limited only by imagination and budget… and some are limited much at all.
I’d love to have one of each…
I would say that what makes it inspirational is as different as the person that is inspired. For me, a garage that allows me to get dirty and throw some sparks is what inspires me. While I would love to have an incredible showroom for a bunch of cool toys, I love to get out there and weld and grind and paint and wrench. I like not having to worry about dropping a wrench on the floor and chipping the marble or scarring the textured walls.
But, for others, having someplace that looks like a stable to house their prancing horses or a full-on NASCAR shop is their dream, with checkerboard tiling and powder-coated tool benches.
The first step… Figure out what you want. Are you going to store, build or display?
The second step… Decide on your style. Do you like acid-etched, polished concrete? Epoxy Coatings? Powder-coated cabinetry? Stained wood cabinets?
The third step… Make a budget.
The fourth step… Make a plan. Even with a modest budget, there are ways to minimize the out-lay while maximizing the impact. Like Craigslist… Discarded kitchen cabinets are a great way to add attractive storage to the garage. And everything doesn’t need to be done at once, it can be done in stages.
The fifth step… Pull it all together.
