You may be a GARAGE ADDICT if...

[USMCBay]

...you spend your lunch time sanding down a Coke Machine!!!!!!!!

(Now fill in your vise(s))

 

[PassnThru]

...you spend the majority if not all of your Friday night here.

 

[USMCBay]

You wake up @ 2am thinking about "what you can do next"...

 

[USMCBay]

...you spend the majority if not all of your Friday night here.

Ha... not to be shrewd but I left a fully **** wife in a tub to scurry down to the Garage "While I still had time..."

Now that's bad!!!

That is not an addiction - that fully qualifies as an illness

 

[akdiesel]

You wake up @ 2am thinking about "what you can do next"...

And follow through with it @ 2:01 am.

 

[USMCBay]

And follow through with it @ 2:01 am.

I've tried that - but I stay up til 8am... work is only 90sec away. It just works out that way!

You spend time in the garage hanging out and watching TV, and on the commercial breaks messing around with stuff.

 

[nate379]

Your toolbox cost more than all your house furniture.

 

[ddawg16]

Your wife brings dinner to you in the garage without asking....

 

[alamerang]

Your tools and tool box are insured for more money than your wife....

 

[35mastr]

You only use the house to sleep in as my wife always says.

She has even told me that I should have just bought a shop rather than the house as it would have been alot cheaper.

 

[Shadowdog500]

You slept on your workbench.

[69charged]

your kids go to the garage first thing in the morning looking for you every weekend.

clarence

 

[BlindViper]

You wake up at 5:30 am after a night of drinking and remembering a dream about a "new screwdriver" thread. Only to get on the forums and there is no such thread......

 

[smooth72]

You have 3 tvs in your garage so that you can work/tinker on things and just glance up to see your show.

your wife wants a new house and she convinces you buy saying you can build a big garage. it ended up being 1300 sq ft.

you lay out your new house to have the best view from the garage

when friends and family come to visit the never go to the front door of the house, they just come to the garage.

on and on.

That is not an addiction - that fully qualifies as an illness

I think before we can qualify this we need pictures of the wife

no neat sig line

This wife you speak of - yours?

 

[dustin19]

lol beat me to it

 

[51rider]

You find stuff on Ebay that will look good in another forum members garage!!

 

[HAMAR]

... your children ask ''why is dad home ?'' when you sit in the living room.

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

Your car is paid for, but you're making payments on your toolbox!

 

[crewchief888]

wife wakes up early on sat am, to the noise of the air compressor running...
the windows rattling from open headers dont bother her anymore...
she wonders whats wrong if you're still in the house on the weekend and the sun is up.
you walk in the door, she says i heard you pull up 5 hours ago, dinner's cold, gnite

 

[ket-tek]

Your wife brings dinner to you in the garage without asking....

x2 on this one

 

[caper150]

When you build your new garage and after a week you say it's too small and your wife say's what do you mean it's bigger than the house.

 

[smooth72]

x2 on this one

x3 seven days a week.

 

[e-tek]

OK BOYS - No Joke....I MAY REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM and I'll likely be going for therapy now that this thread (and trip) has made me realize just how SICK I am~

I have been in the Carribean for a week. From the day I got here I've been HOME-SICK...OR, more like GARAGE-SICK!!! No JOKE!! I CANNOT believe I missed a 3-day weekend in my shop!!!! ARG!! I've sat in my room every day, overlooking an INCREDIBLE pool, the beach, swim-up bar and MORE, logging on to GJ, HotRod, many car and truck forums.....

Beleive me, I've tried to get out and enjoy....I rip myself out of my room, away from the computer and a stack of car mags and went to the beach for a few hours each day, but there's this HOLE in my gut that can only be filled by getting home and back to my shop....two more days...

(Now before you think I'm TOTALLY Crazy....it is a "work" trip, so Mrs E-tek couldn't come. I've entertained some customers here and there, but man, I'd rather be home!)

 

[Brian41]

Last April I was working on a project and my wife kept track of how many hours I spent in my building for the month (so she could prove a point that I am never in the house). It totaled 491 that is an average of 16.36 hrs a day.... I think I qualify


But I am always at HOME and thats what counts.

 

[woody 73]

You are on your hands and knees begging your wife to let the garage contractor take up the entire back yard to build a bigger garage;you offer your wife anything and she still wont budge.

you find youself standing in a strangers garage and all the while you are thinking about your own garage.

you drag your screaming children to a new home being built all the while thinking wow those people should see your garage.

It is so cold outside you can not feel your left testicle you still do not want to leave the garage.

 

[crewchief888]

But I am always at HOME and thats what counts.

i think this may be the key,

i'm not hanging out at the bar drinking, trying to pick up loose women, or taking drugs

she knows where i am, what i'm spending money on, what i'm doing, and who i'm hanging with.
i must be lucky, i work long hours, sometimes in very bad weather, and am on call during the winter months. she dont want me in the house all the time, specially when she's busy.

 

[lawfarm]

...you've organized, shelved, reorganized, reshelved, replaced your shelves, reorganized, reshelved, and reorganized your garage. Twice.

 

[little d]

........when your on here, when you cant be out there.

 

[smooth72]

........when your on here, when you cant be out there.

or your on here and in your garage.

 

[azotto]

LOL...I can relate to most everything posted at one time or another. I've eaten many a meal and messed up many family events over the years by being me.

On top of the home shop, my 5th wheel is a toyhauler with a 12' garage. I carried my 110 welder and built in a small compressor along with all my hand tools. On occasion, it has turned into a pit area for repairing atv's and dirt bikes.

 

[knucklebusted]

... when your wife knocks on the door of the garage, you ask her what she is doing up so late. She tells you she was just leaving for work AT 7:30AM just like you usually do!

 

[cletus66]

How about if you live in a 2 bedroom, single wide trailer with a 6 car garage (30 x 48) on 20 wooded acres to keep the cops and neighbors from seeing all of the cars in the yard? Does that count?

I tell my wife, "We're gonna build a house soon. I promise, but the garage could use an addition first.".

 

[neonizagas]

You have a pizza oven in the garage!

 

[USMCBay]

Ha ha ha... feeling better about myself. Oh... and here's the wife~!!!!! (weirdo's - LOL!)

Honest to God... I am going to print this out and present it as States Evidence #1... Ha ha... Thanks!!!!

 

[autoclassicnut]

You left "that woman" in the tub and went in the garage... yes you do need help...LOL
