I'll give you A+ for clever storage!!


I used to do all kinds of work out front of my old house (before moving here and building my the shed)... and my neighbors hated it.... until they broke the hinge off their garbage can lid and needed it welded... and the other neighbor needed his lawnmower blade sharpened... etc. THEN I became the go to guy!

Thank you! Yeah, I know my neighbors aren't happy with the "howling" I make, too (air tools) I haven't lived here long enough yet to become their "go to" guy. One day, I'm sure...

Here's mine. A mix of cars, woodworking and storage.

That's a huge space and a beautiful location Don ! Very nice to have a room that big to spread out in and wrench on some cars.

Hey, I didn't see a motor in the car - but it looks like you have 3 or 4 horsepower available

I'd show you a pic of my shop, but basically all you have to do is look out your window. I hope that will change one of these days.

This is mine. Right now it is 30' x 74'. I added on the "tall" section, at the left end, in the fall of 2005. This is mostly for storage and organization but I am using it now to install an engine in a '49 Ford pickup. The end closest to you in the photo is heated and has my machine shop inside. I got this side cleaned out and usable that winter. Although it's nothing real fancy it was a complete makeover and is a nice usable space during the winter with natural gas forced air heat.

Here is a shot of the inside after I got the lighting installed.

I bought two sets of these shelves off eBay for 72.00... Went and picked them up a couple miles from where I worked in Troy. Tons of storage that I haven't fully used yet.

This is a "new" project I just picked up from a buddy after he tired of it. 1949 Ford F1 with TCI MII front and leaf rear suspensions. I have the motor and trans sitting in the chassis and will be building a trans xmbr this weekend.

The truck is sitting on the storage side right now. I moved it over there to make engine access a little easier. I reinforced the roof trusses and hung my chain fall from a 4x4. Made setting the engine in place real easy...

Thanks for looking
Mark

Hey guys, besides the cool as hell Bow Tie in granite in the sidewalk, you gotta see the other yard detail! Do not know how you have time to work on the car.
