Default Garage Pics from a "non-Awesome"Garage

I was working in the garage today and came to realization that my one car spot will never be something to brag about so I decided to take some photos. I do feel really fortunate to have it though. The Bend-Pak in and of itself is a dream come true. But beautiful it is not. So I wanted to start a thread for all the ordinary garages.

Many of you have garages nicer than any room in my house. This is just a thread for people to share their "non-Awesome "garage pics.

I just got my building permit last week for my garage addition. Pictures will follow. Question: does the Repo Man soundtrack still play? You may have the last cassette player in existence.

Ha. They all play. Iron Maiden has been in heavy rotation lately though and not Repo Man!

Had not thought of the Scorpions in a lifetime, but that was on the constant play list for many of my teen years living over in DE.

I am a bit of a metal head and a punk rocker. I love it all!

I see you have heat in the summer -- what about the winter?

Any garage is a good garage.
Alot of people live in condos or in communities that are not able to have a garage.

Maiden rules!

Michael- when you drive onto the board ramp, how do you keep the boards from sliding when the wheels first make contact?

2 by 12s don't slide around much, especially on raw concrete. They aren't feather weight

Yeah, but what gets accomplished in some of them? That sort of reminds me of kitchens I see in some homes and the cooking...well, no comment. The kitchen that my mom cooks in is a war zone, but you ought to taste the food.

My garage is clean and clutter-free. One Porsche 993, two BMW motorcycles, a Krackmasaki motorcycle and a lathe and mill...nothing special. I can walk in it with a pair of dress socks...I like clean! But it is getting heat and AC next year.

And, you would be wrong to make that summation. So, you aren't a know it all after all. Who knew?


Back on topic:

I use pads of non-skid rubber mat under my planks. That makes them
stay nice an planted.
