I decided to finish my garage home cardio theater this Autumn. I have a three car garage. Sort of. The third section is barely able to hold a car. It’s approximately 12′ by 15′ so it would have to be a fairly small car. I think it’s more for using as a workshop. I started a few years ago with an elliptical and a 20″ TV that relatives gave us when we were living in one of their rental properties long ago.
It got cold in the Winter, since the attic wasn’t insulated. The manual for the cardio machine said not to use it below 45 degrees, so I brought the elliptical inside adjacent to the living room for January and February plus a few weeks either side.
Jacob’s Ladder in the garage
Two years ago I managed to squeeze in the rest of my cardio equipment and a larger TV. I gave the smaller one to my wife to use in front of her recumbent. I don’t like recumbents. The metal garage door echoes quite a bit, so I can’t play anything loud. For this version of my garage home cardio theater I started using wireless headphones [Sennheiser RS120 Over-Ear 900MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle
That Fall our local utilities were giving rebates on attic insulation, so I managed to get the garage insulated up top. So last Winter I was able to train with only a few weeks gap, with a little allowance for afternoon training, when it would normally be in the 50′s out there.
Riding the Stairmaster in the garage
Last Summer I was able to rearrange my cardio machines. I got rid of some stuff that I wasn’t using. I had to work around the door rails, since the Stairmaster Stepmill puts my head over 8′ high. As the summer heat let up I began working in earnest on my new garage home cardio theater. I began with insulating the door (see previous article). After that I did a lot of measuring for the wall.
Riding the incline treadmill in the garage
I had to work around a supporting post where the garage extends out away from the main house body. The wall that extends from the garage to house entry area doesn’t line up with the post. The post doesn’t line up with the recessed concrete wall where the front of the garage dips in to the smaller third car section.
I managed to wiggle it all into two straight lines intersecting on the support post and drew up my plans. I got a pile of wood from Lowe’s and dumped it in the driveway and began carefully cutting. I moved the shelves that were along the line separating the third car and main garage to make room for working.
Started Framing Wall:
Coming soon: insulated divider for garage training room
After a few days of an hour or two here or there, I had the main wall framed in. The top section was fairly painful standing on top of the ladder and putting in screws at odd angles. I also used a lot of glue.
Framed Wall:

The next phase for the garage home cardio theater was the section with the door. Since I was going to really pack in the machines like Tetris I decided to have the door swing into the main garage. I got a smaller 32″ door. Enough room to walk through wearing a large backpack, but small enough to allow a full 16″ framing section on one side.
Framing Doorway:
Building the doorway for garage home cardio theater
That was pretty tough to do. It was like a maze in some spots making sure I had enough room to move the 8′ ladder around under the door frame so I could get to the ceiling to set in the screws on the top board. Next I got some rolled fiberglass insulation 3-1/2″ by 15-1/2″ in plastic sheath. I cut and stapled it pretty quickly. Not too many issues with that, except for some miscalculation above the door that I used smaller pieces to fill in.
Insulation:

I had to drop by the store a couple times during the project, and took my little helper on a couple of the trips.
Trip to Lowe’s for parts:

Because of a small footer wall along the outside perimeter of the garage I also had a 2″ gap between two studs that I filled in with thin cut strips pushed in.
Insulation Done:

The last step in this phase of the garage home cardio theater is to put in the door. I hate doing this. Really. But after a lot of time messing around with shims and a bit of hammering and tweaking I got it to open and close without rubbing anywhere on the frame.
Door installed and insulation done:
Got the door up for my garage home cardio theater. All wall insulation up.
Of course I have to put in some foam in the gaps around the door frame. I need to put in some weatherstripping around the interior door where it closes on the frame. I need to weatherstrip the outside garage door including the bottom where it contacts the concrete. I am not eager for the sheetrock – I might wait till Spring for that if I can. I am going to put in speakers for those times I do not want to wear the headphones. I’ll let you know what’s next.

Many of my friends and followers stated that you can’t read Kindle Ebooks without a Kindle. This is not true. Amazon has provided a number of alternatives for reading ebooks that you purchase or download from their site. First of all, go to the Amazon Home Page
Click the Home Page link for “Free Kindle Reading Apps”
The next page lists quite a few options for reading Kindle Ebooks. My personal favorite is the Chrome Plugin, but the Browser Cloud Reader works too, and is excellent if you don’t want to install software. For this example, I’m going to select the Computers:Windows option.
Select the type of computer you want to install the reader on
After selecting your operating system, you will have to click a button to “Download” the installer for your Kindle Ebooks reading app.
Download the Reader App for your operating system
While your file downloads, Amazon shows fairly explicit instructions for installing your app or software. This window will normally stay open while you install, so you don’t have to rush to memorize them.
While your file downloads, read the instructions to install
When you run the installer for your app or software, you will most likely have to authorize it to run in your device or computer. Amazon is a reputable business, so this should be safe.
Authorize your app when it’s time to run the installer
On my computer it took only a couple minutes for the installer to run, and afterward the Kindle Ebooks Reader opened up and asked for my Amazon Registration information to associate it with my account. When you do, all your previous titles should appear in your Library for reading in your computer.
Register your app to connect it to your account at Amazon and have access to your Kindle Ebooks
Now if you go to the purchase page for any Kindle Ebooks, you’ll see under the “Deliver to:” dropdown an option to read them on your application or software – in this case “charles’s Kindle for PC”. Other options are my Kindle, and my Cloud Reader, which is any browser-based app or plugin.
Purchase your ebook and deliver it to your Reader App
The “Transfer via Computer” option is for if you have a Kindle and for some reason don’t have access to a wireless or 3G network to download the file. You can plug your Kindle into your computer via USB cable and transfer it manually, which overall I don’t recommend simply because it’s not something the average tech user can do well. This file will be in a format that is probably only readable by a Kindle, and not a generic format like PDF.
The instructions for installing an App on your phone or other device are similar, and if you’ve ever installed mobile software before, will be easy enough to figure out. I clicked the Browser Cloud Reader link and it just took off with the reader in the browser window, but I didn’t test it to verify that it works in all browsers so YMMV.
Good luck, have fun, and enjoy your Kindle Ebooks.
To insulate a garage door is one of the steps I mentioned in my booklet about Home Cardio Theater. After a really pleasant Summer in Utah I decided it was time to insulate my garage door before the Winter chill set in.
First of all I measured my door panels and found there are ten panels in two rows of five. The left column is 50″ wide, and the right is 53″ wide. The top and bottom rows are 22″ tall, and all the others are 18″ tall. I decided to use Reflectix Bubble Pack Insulation
Glue on the garage door panels
Cut the Reflectix sheet to insulate the garage door with a utility knife on a waferboard scrap and a furring strip guide
I cut the Reflectix with an inch overlapping all around and notched the corners, then put lines of glue on the garage door panels and around the aluminum flanges all around the panels. I carefully started at the upper right corner, lining up the bottom flange, and put the bottom edge of the silvery bubble sheet lined up along the bottom flange of the door, pressing into the glue lines. I then poked the middle of the top of the sheet under and into the folded top flange of the door panel, and going outward from there, lined up the top as I pressed it into place.

I then lined up the right side of the bubble sheet against the exposed foam core of the door panel, and then swept the surface with moderate palm pressure to make sure it was in contact with the adhesive beads, and finally poked the left edge of the sheet under the left flange of the door panel. Now I have one insulated garage door panel. I then did the lower right corner, upper left and lower left, and began to fill in the center panels.
Reflectix sheet glued in place on the bottom garage door panel
Line up the bottom of the Reflectix sheet and tuck the center top under the flange to insulate the garage door panel
The left side was considerably easier to manage. The panels were smaller, and the center flange was not inset at all. One by one I put the panels into place, being sure to set the sheet into the adhesive beads with firm hand pressure. I worked while the sun wasn’t directly hitting the outside of the door, and the outside temperature was around 60 degrees F.
Outside panels done, inside panels started
Finally I had the garage door insulation in place and in about an hour the adhesive will be dry and ready for exposure to heat and cold. It will be several hours before the sun is fully on the exterior surface. This insulated garage door will be the first step in converting the shop area (single compact car) of the garage into my Home Cardio Theater for use in the Winter.

One of the first things to do after enrolling in Pinterest is to install the Pin It Button in your browser. It will sit in the little row of bookmark links (and is called a “bookmarklet” – little app that is activated by clicking the bookmark for it).
Installing is really quick and simple, and works for many common browsers. Click “About” and then “Pin It Button”. Follow the really simple instructions, and you’re good to go. Look for my Kindle Ebook about Do-it-yourself Social Marketing: Pinterest, which should be available in the next couple days for more information about using Pinterest for your own small business marketing purposes.

We had guests coming to visit, and the previous owners had a Mother-in-law room tacked onto the house with a large bubble tub. It was an odd size – 75″ and standard size hardware is only 72″. We looked online and could find some really very expensive rods, on the order of $120 or more on special order and we didn’t have time to mess around with special orders.
Wandering around in Home Depot and Lowes I got a sudden inspiration to make my own Ikea Style shower curtain. Every time I go to Ikea I am fascinated by their fake track lighting using steel cable and clips and decided that would be a great unique shower curtain “rod”.
Parts:
8′ 1/16″ steel cable
1 – pack 1/16″ aluminum cable clamps (pr)
2 – 1/4″ threaded closed eye hooks
2 – 1/4″ steel washers – wide flange
1 – pack 1/4″ threaded folding sheetrock nuts (pr)
8 – 3/32″ steel clip carabiners (though 12 was the right number)
1 – cloth shower curtain liner
1 – cloth shower curtain
I measured and drilled the rather large holes and inserted the folding wing nuts.
Inserting sheetrock nut in drilled hole
I slid the retaining clip as far as it would go, then broke off the tabs used to insert the folding nut.
I screwed in the eyebolts with wide flange washers.
eye bolt and washer above shower enclosure
I put the aluminum cable clamp over the end of the cable, threaded the cable through the eyebolt, slid it through the clamp and slid the clamp tight to the eyebolt.
steel cable parts
I squeezed the clamp shut using a pair of dull wire cutters on a needlenose pliers, then did the other side.
Steel Cable threaded through clamp, eye bolt, and back through clamp
I had to trim about a foot total off the ends of the steel cable, making sure I did the ends squarely with no sharp points hanging out.
Steel Cable threaded and tight
I put the shower curtain and liner together carefully lining up the holes (they were not exactly the same distance on either), then clipped the carabiners through the slots.
Carabiner clipped through shower curtain and liner
I clipped the carabiners over the steel cable, making sure they were all in order and pointing the same way with the small end up over the cable.
Shower Curtain hung on Ikea Style Shower Hanger
To set to one side or the other, slide the end carabiner over the aluminum clamp where it will rest and keep it on the end. While open, the shower curtain will only be 72″ so the end away from the shower head will be the open gap.
Slide the last carabiner over the clamp to hold it to the end
The entire project took less than an hour to do and was pretty simple, requiring few tools. The most expensive item is the carabiners at a couple bucks each, but you could find something else like the larger round metal rings that clip (old fashioned shower rings) that are a lot less expensive.
Tools:
Sharp Wire Cutters
Dull Wire Cutters
Drill
1/2″ or 5/8″ spade drill bit
Looks like a designer shower curtain system.
