I've made some improvements to my garage

I did some permanent rewiring on the workbench. Bought electrical boxes, 14 ga THHN stranded wire (a LOT easier to work with than solid wire/Romex), wire cover molding, and crimp-on fork lugs. Wired up so there is a duplex switch in one box. From that box, the wiring goes through the molding to 2 duplex receptacles controlled by one switch and 2 LED lights controlled by the other switch. All mounted under the cabinets. A lot like the temporary wiring but more spread out now (and safer).

Found a small laptop (notebook?) computer. Has WinXP on it. Cleared a bunch of crap off the HDD and copied some of my favorite working-on-cars music over. Level of headphone jack on the laptop is real low and won't drive the powered speakers to full volume so I have it jury-rigged into the stereo and then using the stereo headphone jack to drive the speakers. Now I can move the CD changer back inside.

Put the new bench to good use de-rusting some tools for a buddy of mine. Most of them only required an overnight soak in vinegar but there was a big C-clamp that took two days and a lot of scrubbing with a wire brush. Started the second batch of tools this afternoon. While I had the chemicals out, I de-rusted an axe head that I had laying around.
