Hi, my name is Mark and I’m a toolaholic.

Hi all,
Hobbyist from the Los Angeles area (Pasadena). I ride motorcycles for fun and am building out the interior of my 2005 e150 as a moto van.
My garage burned down along with the house in last year’s fires, currently I’m acquiring tools in anticipation of rebuilding. My wife thinks I’m nuts to buy them while we live in an apartment with no garage, but what can you do. Lol

Welcome aboard.

Sorry for your house and garage loss. I can’t begin to imagine.

Wish you fast recovery with getting life back on the road again.

Welcome Mark, been there, done that except with 5 feet of water in one shop and two houses. Being somewhere and realizing that you suddenly no longer have a home for your family is a hell of a feeling.

Thanks, we’ll get there!

I hope you eventually get it done. I only hear bad nightmarish stories about miles of red tape trying to build or rebuild in your state.

Yeah it’s been a crazy year for sure. But we are fortunate we are safe and the dog loves the carpet at the new apartment, it has really helped her hips. Silver lining!

The hope of improvement in your life situation that acquiring tools and planning ahead brings to you, is a far better therapy than anything else you can do. I wish the best for you.

Welcome from western Nevada.

I can't even imagine how horrible it'd be to suffer such a loss. But you've got a good attitude about it.....keep on keeping on!

Welcome to here.
The first step is to admit you've got a problem
The second step is to work hard to make the problem unsolvable. LMAO.

Welcome from central VenCo. I've started over a few times myself, but from my own bad decisions not fires.
