I don't have a shop or garage really, just a drive way.


My garage is sealed off and filled with various wood working tools as that's my dad's interest. I use it for doing the odd thing in but 90% of the time I'm working in the drive way.
I've also got a shed that I store various parts in.

must be nice

yeah i wish i had one, ever seen a backyard engine swap before?




Ive lost a decent bit of my craftmen tools on this job. I also think moving an engine hoist in the dirt is like taking ur life into ur own hands. O well one day ill have a shop. In the fall I will at least have a concrete driveway and maybe a storage shed.

Here's a pic of 1/2 my garage, when I was into Buggies. Now, the 1st Gen calls this spot home. My little boat is in the other half.

You're braver than me, but it looks like you have long dry stretches. I desperately need a shed so I can clear out my 1 car garage and actually wrench out of the rain again

Sounds like you need to invest in a metal detector

What's real nice about it, is that I don't have to share it with the wife. It's all mine!

She has her own 2-car attached garage to park her truck in, she actually uses it.

The shop has a nice stereo (surround in all 4 corners) has 100A service, 220V, and 3 full size roll-ups. 2 in the front, and one in the back, so I can roll through the garage to my back yard.

The garage was the reason I bought the house. It doesn't have insulation or AC though, which sucks during the summer. Oh, I just added a nice 220V compressor which makes my air tools a lot more usable.
