Just talking with Dave S. about getting something done in garage . I get out and clean it and in about 3 weeks or so i'm back to this . House projects and garage work all end up outside the entry door from house . Well since that is about the only floor space left . Small garage 20 X 25 with 26 X 36 amount of stuff jammed in it .
The size doesn't matter Bobby, mine is like 24x36 with 40x60 crammed in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is pic LOL missed that
that doesnt look to bad!!:D
At least you can see your cars, oh wait is that a fan or a blower. Just kidding it's better then mine I can't see the cars.
Richard
Wow, you can fit two cars in there......Wish I could, I've only got room for one.
that doesnt look to bad!!
flh I keep saying that same thing .
oh wait is that a fan or a blower
Ford dont know here either
Ceh must be a average garage then . I can barly get my 2 feet in there anymore.

He finally has enough room for all the goodies (rotissory, lift, english wheel, etc.) and enough projects to keep him busy for the rest of his life........I give it about 10 years and it will be stuffed as well....:LOL:
I complain about not having enough room, and my wife say's get rid of some of your junk. They don't understand this stuff is priceless that's why we keep it even though we trip over it, and can't find anything.
Richard
Yeah, I've just got to quit having so much stuff going at the same time.... When I had the big shop, I'd have 6 or 7 long term projects going at once, and still have room for some in and out deals.... IF I could just convince myself to keep it at only 2 projects in the garage at a time I'd have plenty of room..... The garage isn't the problem, I am!!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

But all in all its not that bad. You could get a running start and do a dive like through a burning circus hulahoop through the engine crane opening to get into the heart of the garage. Not to mention the physical workout values this would have. Man you now have a garage and a gym rolled all togther, problem solved.
you just need a bigger shop..:D

"MUST STACK THINGS HIGHER" Moon you mean we need taller garages .
flh4speed " you just need a bigger shop".. flh nice shop you have there . What are you getting rid off Moon . Seems like some space opened up , LOL.
I do the trashing part i have to In the back is a 12 X 16 shed . Allmost a single car in size there packed full .
I have it stacked high!!! :CRY: I had to pack everything in the house that we didn't need untill we move, We Didn't think! it would still be on the market 19 months now! :eek: and it's staged to look nice yet! (Can't touch things :eek: )
I have repacked it 4 times, once since the pic's, I can get the mustang in at night now. I still have to get the Blazer in there to change the tranny & it's a 4x4 of course. :( .
If you look between the coupe body & the rocker, I have a path back to my 2 work benchs one on each side, so that I can still work on some things. You can't see the benches, they are behind the coupe and the stack of box's
The garage is 26'w x 30'd with 10.5' ceiling & 9' high doors.
Pat
A couple more pic's.
I removed 28 - 8' lights, and only leaving 2, only if I have to.
There is a spare 392 Hemi hidden in there also.
Pat
You don't decorate much for Christmas, do you? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
You have NO idea, of the amount of Xmass stuff we put out, it takes days to put up. The attic of the house is still full of Xmass things, you can only see a dent of what we have in the garage alone. It was in the attic of the garage, but I have it down now, and it's every where.
We put up the most stuff in our area. Power company loves us at Xmass.
Pat
Hemi Garage looks just like mine . Only im not packed to move . Had to remove a box from chair .
I hafta admit - my current house, the garage and shop ain't too bad. I had a 30 x 40 foot pole barn with a loft at the last house - full of greasy and/or rusty treasures along with the very big shop area in the basement and plus another 15x30 foot garage and the normal attached 2 car garage with full attic. Now after several years of selling at 3-4 swap meets a year, almost out to where I can see the walls of my shop AND the 2 car garage(tho half of that is set up as a paint booth).
ding ding!! we have a winner:DQuote:

Do you see that same wheel? And look under the bench, there's your engine & tranny I bought from you. Gosh if you'd take a current picture with all my stuff out of there it would almost seem............. a clean.:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Tom,
How the heck are ya?
That be the same tire, :LOL:
Tom helped unpack 1 of the trailers we had our stuff in,which is at least half of the stuff you see.
I filled up his van/truck with parts 2-3 times. I got rid of alot of parts! I sold on ebay& other ways 50-60 parts, '27/26 T coupe, '23/25 T chassis, 2-'38 Ford pickup body & cab, '68 El Camino with 406/t350, '49 flathead, 1-v6, 1-v6 turbo/t350, '36 chevy pickup complete front clip, etc, etc. I still have quit a bit of stuff yet, that I won't sell.
I have a complete hobby room packed in there, (To much to list,)R/C cars, trucks, planes (40 unbuilt kits), 1/10 scale dragster that turns twin motors @102,000 rpms with adjustable stall clutch, (I bought the body & rear tires, motors and I built everything else), boats, built plastic model everything( about 50 unbuilt kits), and to many new & spare parts.
The room looks over full, is because I had 2 hobby rooms downstairs, 1 for building, & 1 for storage of all the parts, and then needed to to start to remodel the basement, and moved it into 1 room. 2 other people use to come over and build R/C planes, for about 12 yrs.
Tom, how was your vaction? You could have brought more warm air back with ya, heck they don't need it all. :LOL:
Did you get rackoon eye's from your sunglasses? :LOL: I'm glad all the snow this winter stayed to the south of me, :D Monday we got 6", yesterday we got another 4, it's been dust snowing since yesterday, and we are down to about 3" left this morning. :HMMM: It's melting quickly. :)
We had open house Thursday, with a good turn out of people. People are at least out looking again! And on a Thursday! :)
Pat
Well I never got Racoon eyes because I only got to the beach one time and didn't even have my swimming suite along.Quote:

Sure hope you finally get a decent offer for your house. It's gotta be frusterating for you guys.
"When The Crap Hits The Fan It Will Not Be Evenly Distributed! ":D :LOL:
Well said!
My garage is looking better every minute! I just sell whatever I haven't used in the last 5 years, or if it stubbed my toe and I thought about launching it on a cruise missile somewhere!
Geez Pat, I keep reading your posts about all the hassle trying to sell your house and I'm dang near scared to even list mine!!!!! Maybe I'll just wait til the 'maro is done and sell it for $150,000.00 and throw in the house and garage!!!!Quote:

Here's a pic of the 1st hobby room pic above now. It was all 1/4" pegboard walls. We gutted the basement and it's all new.

Dave, you'd be suprised of the things people are including with their house, to try to sell it.
If you don't need to sell now, I'd wait, but of course if you want mine, then you need to move now! :3dSMILE:
I know, you want to go south.
The way the market is now, I feel like I'm trying to sell a piece of crap, it's not, it's all redone, roof to basement. We are not over priced, we're below what it's worth!
We have a new double cantered roof on our house, it makes the house look smaller than it is.
Here's my house, anyone interested? ;)

Tom, did I give you the dip stick tube for that t350?
You don't happen to have a T front axle laying around? (I gave my spare away, now I need one) :rolleyes:
Steve, I have been building them since I was 7-8 yrs old, I couldn't tell all that I have, but I could name most of them. I have a U.S.S. Hornet aircraft carrier model that I have to build yet. My dad was on it, in WWII. I also have a R/C sailboat that's has a 85" mast. I got rid of my Tunnel hull & V bottom boats, They are a pain in the a$$.
Pat
Yeah, I don't know.... Don't have to sell and the market is really trashed right now.... Got all summer to figure something out I guess, ain't going to spend another winter here, the cold crap kills me......
Tom you got the engine i got the chair Government issue era 1974
bluestang67,
If you look in the pic with the orange chair, there is also a yellow one closer thats the same, and I have another yellow one & the wife has another orange one, that we sit at our computers with in the house. and there is a fan against the back wall like yours. ;)
Tom has see it as just a piled mess on the unpacked side, with only a path front to back. **) :eek:
Pat
Fan is handy i use it to circulate the heat off the cealing . These are retiree's from the daughter she gets fans like shoes LOL. The pic of my chair is doomed for the house . It was in brothers basement for for allmost 30 yrs i've had it since . Wife wouldnt let this in the house.
No I didn't get the dip stick. Did you find one? Also have you stumbled across the carb yet?Quote:
