Just took some pics for you great people last night in hopes that this could
be the start of the great Re-Organization I've been talking to myself about.

My wife is going on a ladies vacation this weekend and 1/2 of next week, so
I figure I can spend some time in the garage instead of watching movies and
doing nothing.

These are the before shots. If you want you can play a GJ version of Where's Waldo,
you can tell me what I've got burried in here. I should remember somthing about it.

Jeff, Pics in a bit,

While you wait check out the Hot Women thread:

Mostly make it useable, and put stuff away.
In the long run, Finish putting up steel and insulate the walls, then re-wire for safty
and add outlets and lights. I'm not sure if you counted but I have 3 that's right 3 lights
in the shop. I would like to have more. I'll get them somday;)

I'm assuming you mean the wooden bench and the long vise I hastely
mounted ont the front. I got it at an Auction. There is a duplicate laying on
top of the wooden cabnit next to the bench....another auction find.

I would take that lunch box to work tommorow if I could.

SO much potential. I'd love to have that storage space up top. It could make a KILLER "parts room"

First off, liking the threat title!
I like the monsters under the stairs. You might need a lean-to shed to store some vintage car parts there... or some serious heavy-duty pallet-rack style shelving? Then you could reclaim some valuable floor space.

What size is your garage? It looks great.

I will probly have to turn in my man card for this but, I'm not sure. 20x30 maybe.
I'll put a tape measure to it tonight. FWIW, last winter I had the Jeep,
a Model T sedan Body and my DD Chrysler 300 in there, and still had
room to move, but not much.

I'm kind of planning a level gravel area to the side with all the tires,
not gonna do a lean-to but I would like to do a fence and gate. Then I
can decorate the fence with some of my cooler Jeep/car stuff.

Don't worry too much this is my home garage, I've access to a bigger garage
where 3 Jeeps are curently resting, and I have a shed at the in-laws farm
with 3 F-1 Fords, a Jeep and a rambler. Oh and my wife's limo is in dad's garage.

I need to get to work and sell stuff or do somthing with it.

Real man cave. Fix it up if you must. But don't change the decor theme.

waiting to get insulation and the steel up on the side walls. I've got some cool
posters,pictures,and a small hotwheels Jeep/Hotrod collection to put up................ Somday.
Maybe my kids can help. (First one is due Dec 26) ;);)
