    2018 Vintage tool finds

    I hate to sound like I'm bragging but I have been finding plenty of toolboxes on the curb in the trash since the flood of 2016 down here in south Louisiana. A LOT of tools too. Yes, some are really crusty, but there have been a few instances of finding decent, useable stuff here too. Some...

    Garage with a house attatched to it in CT

    Even being a "car / garage guy" I usually don't like houses with really prominent garages as the first thing that you see when you drive up, BUT... yours does have a bit of balance from the 2 story house next to it. Just add a big garden out in front of the house with some nice bushes & small...

    Breaking into A Garage In Only Six Seconds

    I couldn't agree more with the comments that you have to hide everything from people who are "just passing by". I can't count the numbers of twenty-something kids that cruise slowly up & down our street on a Saturday afternoon on their bicycles looking over everyone's open garage contents...

    New member, my Garage

    Nice garage! Being a Mopar man myself, I'll stake my reputation on FLYBOY's car being a 67-69 Dodge Dart. I'll go out on a limb and guess 68 because of the bumblebee stripe. (Without the taillights in it and a clear shot of the side marker lights, it's pretty hard to tell! 67's had no side...
