Like everything else, it depends on where you live. I knew some guys that had their garages and outbuildings on a seperate meter for business purposes.

Appreciate the heads up, but I'm under the weather today. Let me know the next time you guys are meeting. Thanks!

Watching, as we'll be doing this over the summer.

Very, very true. The guys that were into the old stuff are dying off. I'm into 50's and 60's cars. The last two I purchased were fresh out of probate. My son is 29, his idea of a dream car is a rare 2007-08 Acura.

The dying off of the car culture is already happening. Just watch Mecum, and some local large auctions. Locally, they sold off J. B. Hodgdon's car collection a month or so ago. Most of his cars were fully restored, like Jay Leno, he had a full time mechanic to take care of them. Lots of stuff...

Sadly, I haven't touched it, or any of my other vehicles lately. My back has been acting up and I'm being told I might have to have surgery.

There are units with garage doors on each end, and end units typically have windows, some on two sides. Of course you pay a premium for those units.

Agreed. I'm leasing a space 5 minutes from my house. At the moment, there aren't that many active car guys there. That might change as they have just completed some new units. I have friends at a really great condo place that's reasonably priced and has a fantastic culture, but it's at least a...

I've been leasing a car condo for the last three years, have some acquaintances that own them, and have personally looked into buying one, so I can answer some of your questions. Yes, the loans can be totally different, i.e. shorter terms. bigger down payments, possibly higher interest rates...

Why not another B & D? I used the BD battery trimmers for well over 20 years, like yourself I liked the way the head easily rotated on the shaft. After the last BD one finally died, I started using Ryobi, mainly because I got a couple of them for free, and I already had lots of Ryobi...

One of my uncles had me buy a set of those to loan to the neighbors that I didn't trust with "real" tools. Sometimes they came back broken, other times they never came back. But they were so cheap, I didn't care.

Mine called dibs on one of the bays, and a portion of the overhead storage. And after I installed the mini-split, she wants the temperature warm enough in the winter so she never has to get in a cold car.

Contact Stanley Black and Decker in Springfield, MO. Last I heard that's where the boxes are being made.

I picked up the M12 Gen 2 shortly after it was released with the 5Ah Ho battery. "air Impacts"?? Pfft.

I used to have a buddy that worked in the HQ of a small Home Improvement store chain, and he would pass along salesman samples of tools from time to time. Of the cordless tools he passed out back then, the blue Ryobi stuff was the only stuff that lasted Since then, I've acquired way too many...

Wow! I could have really used these last week. Just ordered a set. Better late than never. Thanks OP!

While I had an abundance of pegboard in my last garage, I'm keeping it simple, at least for the moment. I have an abundance of doors and drawers in my new place, so I'm not using much pegboard, yet. I put plastic pegboard, I wanted metal, but it was OOS in the sizes I needed, above these...

In my last garage, I didn't have a lot of space, so I had lots of pegboard real estate. Sorry no pictures. I used these to keep the hooks in place: I've never tried these, but I've heard they work.

That beater with a heater sounds like fun! Do they let old guys like us participate? Funny that you mention long time friendships. Just last week I traveled back to my hometown to the funeral of my best friends mother. We had been best buds since second grade when he and his mother moved back...

Wow! I ordered a couple of black doors about three years ago, and It was the same lead time. I just figured that things still hadn't recovered from Covid. I guess not.
