Thanx. Very well done.

Big Snap-On box, Snap-On roll-around Cart with 4 Drawers, Fridge Full of Beer . I also have a 40' long Carport behind the House where I can store my Open Trailer & another car.

T.C.
Well, I finally brought some pictures in

This was originally a Carport, but after the 4 Hurricanes of 2004, the roof leaked and the roofer could not fix it. So I decided to go for it.

Here are the before pictures

Then I did the Floor. The After Picture was featured in Popular Mechanics Magazine, the Garage Issue (maybe 2006)

Just moved into mine. I've got 30x40 feet, central AC, a Modine gas heater, and a bathroom. I haven't really settled in yet. I'm waiting for movers to deliver my stuff from Hawaii. I also have a little Brown Recluse infestation to deal with.

Brad, you don't want to screw around with those Brown Recluse's - they can do some damage!
