Welcome to Pop's Garage!

Pop's Garage, not a real place, so don't look for it in the Yellow Pages, lol. Actually, my wife has called me "Poppa" since before we got married, and I thought it would be a good name for a garage if I were to ever open one. So I'm using it here.

On to the purpose of this blog. I love pretty much anything to do with cars. Mostly old muscle cars, classic trucks, mini trucks, diesel trucks, hot rods and some sport compacts. Some times, I either get to working on a project, or have ideas for one and I like to share the info with others. There are also times I am working on a car for someone and I need to complain about the engineers bad ideas, or rave about the good ones. So this is my place to do that.

A little background on me and my automotive experience. I have been driving since 1992, when I turned 16. I have worked in the automotive industry in some way since 1994, off and on, either selling parts, delivering parts, installing parts or making parts. I have been in to building custom cars for just as long. I have built about 10 cars of my own and helped my friends on dozens more in the past. I have been in 5 car clubs since I was 16, and president of 3 of those 5. The club names were Syndicate (Dayton, OH), Furious Stylez (president), Crossroads Customs, 0-60 of Dayton (President), and Positive Perception (President, current club my wife and I have been trying to start since '08).

So that's all about me. Later I'll post about some past, present and future projects. C-ya!

House For Sale

We are thinking about selling our current home here in Centerville, OH. We're not sure on the price yet as we are still crunching numbers, but we are thinking  around $350,000.

Details:
  • 2600+ sq.ft.
  • 2 story brick and cedar exterior, 5.5 acres with 32'x40' horse barn, corral, pasture and pond.
  • 3 bedrooms
  • 3.5 bathrooms
  • 13'x27' living room
  • 10'x11' dining room
  • 11'x18' eat in kitchen
  • 14'x17' family room/library
  • 1/2 bath and full bath on first floor
  • 8'x10' marble tiled entry
  • 12'x27' L shaped master bedroom w/ master bath and walk in closet
  • 12'x15' bedroom 3
  • 15'x18' bedroom 2 with access to hall bathroom
  • hall bath has 2 vanities, tub/shower and linen closet.
  • New carpet upstairs, new Pergo wood floors on first floor and tile in bathrooms.
  • 2 working wood burning fireplaces
  • 2 car attached garage with 10'x12' workshop/storage area and attic
Everything has been replaced, down to the drywall in most areas. New floors, new interior and exterior paint, new roof in 2009, new landscaping, new 6 panel interior doors, new wood trim, new outlets and switches, new plumbing fixtures, updated kitchen in 2007. Would make an excellent home for a horse lover or other agricultural purpose.

We are looking for a one level or tri-level with basement with 3500sq.ft. or more and about 1-2 acre lot and 3 or more car garage and possibly an extra garage. Also, a pool would be nice, but not required. Also, we would prefer something that would need little to no work to be move in ready.

Contact me at contact@jgmconst.com if interested.

So, until the next post, God Bless, keep the rubber side down, and get to wrenchin'! I hope my posts can be an inspiration to all who read them. John, "Pop"
