I inadvertantly got here from the HAMB. What's going on here, and what's expected of me? Advise. I had a shop for 13 yrs, working on pre-70 American special interest cars. I shut down and bought this house from a friend about 4 yrs ago. On site, what i've shown is my dream garage. 5 ton heat/AC, drywall, drop ceilings, vinyl tile floor, etc. This is my original garage in foreground, with a shop along side, set back, and runs behind the original. You can drive up a ramp in the original garage to a hoist in the big shop, or enter from the door to the right in the photo. See more pics/text.

This is a room that's added behind the back of both shops. It's accessible through "barn" doors behind the car, or walk through door from main shop (where i stood for this pic). My mom calls this the "vault", and it houses "back burner" type stuff

This is a view from the side access door, located under the carport in the 1st pic, and shows the main shop. Behind the yellow vette is the orig. garage. The purple legs towards the front of the yellow Vette are my hoist. The drywall above's modified to allow the cars to go all the way up (except pickups and wagons because of bed sides or long roof).
I hope this all makes sense

Cannot say that anything is expected of you here - we're all just hanging out, swapping advice, and having fun! More about the shops, garages, and tools than the vehicles we're working on - so a bit more variety in automotive interests than on HAMB. Welcome and join the crowd!
