Well that is about all it is good for or strip it of parts, but I am not aloud. It needs work so one day I may fix it.

Wow, yall got more room than I could ever dream about. My little 12X14 is so full of "treasures" and other usefull stuff, I had a hard time finding an empty spot to hang more good stuff. I've got a 10X20 storage building that I can't get in anymore. And when I go looking for something, it's never where I put it. I usually find it a year or two later. But, on the bright side, if I had a big nice shop, it would be full of junk anyway. I guess it's better I have a little one.

It's true, more room, more stuff...

I think George Carlin did a comedy routine based on that..... Stuff.. I don't call my stuff, junk... if it was junk, I'd throw it out..... my wife would disagree!
 
Man, those are some cool Garages/Shops. I do most of my work under my carport and I have a 1000sq ft basement where I kinda sorta fix,build and make things.I live alone so I can pretty much do what ever I want too as long as I dont make to much noise or blow anything else up. I will shoot some pictures when I get a chance.[P[;):cool:
 
We all started out turning wrenchs somewhere....

I didn't have a garage of my own until I opened my service station / auto repair shop after getting out of the Army in 72.... still didn't have a garage at the house..... prior to that, driveway, car port, strattle a ditch to pull the trans, anywhere, anyhow...you just got it done...

I've done the "ditch" thing a time or 2.I have also used a tree limb and a come along to pull an engine.What I have now is a thousand times better then what I had as a teenager.:D[P;)[cl:cool:
 
When I lived at my parents I got the driveway then the carport!

When I lived with my mother, All I had was the backyard,an oak tree and a shed with no heat and an extention cord run from the house for a drop light to be pluged into.Truth is, I miss those days.I had a lot of fun working on cars in that yard.[;)[P:cool:
 
Can't help but miss all those great times...

My kids think I'm going thru my second childhood.... little do they know I never got past my first..... today I mentioned suicide doors on the GMC and my kid said I was out of my mind..... just shook his head and mumbled something as he walked away....
 
Only one thing wrong with that photo....

So many mustangs.....LOL just kidding..... huge place..... you could shoot a cannon off and not hit anything...... good luck with all your projects.. question? do you drive one of those each day? LOL
