Now I know where I went wrong before starting to build my second TD. :? I should have had it remodelled to make more room :lol:

Those have been photoshopped... no one has a garage that clean.. well, no one that I know.

It's nicer than my house!

Where are the woodworking tools that make dust on everything?

What would I do with all my stuff that I have in there now? I'd have to build another garage and we'd be right back to square one. 8) :lol: 8) :lol: :lol:

...yeah right...can we say "anal retentive"...must be nice to have the "maid" come in and clean up after you...Murphy sez..."the amount of "stuff" you have is directly related to twice the space you have to store/use it"...............

I would be afraid to work in a garage like that. It's just TOO clean.

It's just not a garage without the oil stains on the floor, saw dust covering everything, and a pile of stuff that needs to go to charity. And an old fridge filled with beer.

Hey, full marks to the first two guys in that sequence - they appear to have stains on the floor from actually using their garage to work in!

The other ones look like large storage and display cabinets - and very sensibly they have these big opening doors that enable people outside to see their display - no point hiding it away inside the house where passers-by can't see it, eh?.......

"A clean garage, like a clean desk, is the sign of a sick mind." Don't know who I'm quoting actually, but I think he/she was right on! :lol: My three garages and woodshop all are impassable much of the time. :roll:

We could have a post-build-ugly-shop photo contest. If I didn't win, I'd be in the running!

But, where would we get impartial judges?
