Patriotic on this 4th of July
It doesn't get any more patriotic than this, does it.
The flag is hand made fabric 100x50. |

I feel proud of my country every time I go into my garage.

Re: Patriotic on this 4th of July
Shortly after the American colonist began their civil war against their English 'Mother Country", while the price of their struggle for independence was still fresh in their mind, A quote began to appear in print which was true then (the recent War of 1812 had just finished), and is just as true today:
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" . This had been often attributed to Thomas Jefferson (who know something about the struggle to keep liberty and freedom), but was more likely first coined by John Philpot Curran's statement in 1817. In any case, this one line piece of prose represents a true and factual reality that must never be forgotten. |

Sorry, the Gallery is on the Garage Journal Forum, not Ford Barn.

Re: Patriotic on this 4th of July
Glen, I just went to GJ and read your garage story. Very well written, very well built.
You must be proud of that project. |

Re: Patriotic on this 4th of July

Yes, proud of the garage build but still so much more to be done to finish it. Next week will be dedicated to assembling the second lift, after which I can finally finish the second half of the floor. No trim on the doors or windows yet, need to finish the red stripe around the walls and get to building the attic lift to get stuff up to the unfinished second floor storage areas. I've started working on my cars so a lot of the other stuff can wait Need to get at the A roadster to fix the detached rumble seat back, adjust the brakes since one wheel is grabbing badly, do something about the speedometer that reads 5 mph low and a lot of other minor stuff. But, it's a huge change from working in a small garage using a creeper under the cars. Easy to get under them but at 78, a pain to get up again. Glen
