Heaven is so far away.
After looking around the forum for a while I've noticed that some people have the luxury of a dedicated machine shop/garage to do their work while some others are trying to get whatever they can done outdoors. So how about a thread with pics of your "home away from home"? I'll start it out. Let me just say that growing up my family NEVER had a usable garage, if we had one it became storage space (military brat). So after my Dad retired and bought a house WITH a garage, I was stoked. Unfortunately, the doors didn't close, the concrete was too cracked to use a creeper, the roof leaked like crazy, and the garage itself was built sometime when cars were about 4' by 6' or something so there wasn't hardly any room to work. All these were major factors to me when buying a house. So here goes:
Pulling up with the realtor I actually said "we'll take it" but my wife said we should walk through the house first
Then we found out that the garage was about 800 sq ft and the house was about 1100 sq ft.
To this day my wife tells people if it wasn't for the garage, we wouldn't have bought the house. She's probably right!
