Sweatin' in Arizona... but it's a dry heat!

Ducked into the shop (aka the garage) at lunch.  Tripped over one of the kids scooters, stumbled and kicked over a box of Ideal55 parts and came to a gentle rest against the V90.  Got me thinking that there has to be a better way...  The answer of course is to build a shop... Well that ain't gonna happen where I live, so I thought I'd have some fun and see how everyone else copes.  '<img'>

So here's a few pics of my shop...  Here we have the tool crib and tear-down areas.

Oh Mate

your garage has got to be at least four times the size of mine. I'd love that space. Here in Egland we'd have three families living in there as well as your Soda Machine. I have enclosed a couple of pictures of the garage, its too dark for the back garden but let's just say its "postage stamp" size.

OK....I can't lie...  This is Hendrick Motorsports brand new hangar.  It is exactly the size of a football field.  I was over there last Tuesday for the "foam test" for the fire protection system.

The system has to create 8 feet of foam in 3 minutes...which it did in just over a minute.

BryanH....your outside work area would be fine if you could remove the rock and install a floor that could be swept or hosed off.   And how about a canvas cover to keep the sun out. Whatever it takes... keep the bondo dust and overspray out of the garage.
