The Working Man's Garage

[53ash]

Always moving something around, but it's worked ok for years.

I put my pants on one leg at a time just like you, I build all my own stuff, all my own body work, all my own paint, all my own engine work welding wiring all that. 725 square feet and more than half is occupied by the Plumbing operation, it's tight. In Chicago we do not let strangers look in our shops or garages, most times if you show a feller your shop at 9am he will be back at 3 in the morning. You never seen a guy wet himself like a guy who suddenly has a little red dot on his face at 3 am with a crow bar in his hand, I usually drift it around right in front of his face to determine his IQ, the longer it takes for him to see it the dumber he is, if too dumb you may actually have to give a little squeeze. So no pictures of my shop, sorry.

No worries about the pics. Thats why we have the right to bear arms. I love being an American.

Steve S, love your shop, I have a backyard buddy, I have never seen a side lift like yours ,I can see it would save a lot of room being next to a wall. Harold,central coast Ca.

This is my Florida "everyday" man's garage. It is just a bit crowded. Any work has to be done outside in the driveway.
Now, at my home in West Virginia, I have a building, that is about 45'X90'. It used to be a tractor dealership. It is an old building and parts of the roof, actually do not leak. Got to fix that, when my ship comes in.

This is your everyday "Dream Garage".
It does look more "normal", doesn't it ?
Note the path !

If you are fortunate to have the square footage, there is no reason a working man's garage cannot be a show place as well. I collect gas pumps so the garages are covered with signs and neon but at least one early ford car or rod is torn apart here at all times. Now if I could find a truly long lasting floor treatment as every one I have seen start to have problems within a few years it seems.

When we built our garage I had a two part epoxy floor put on the new concrete. The floor has held up very well, most anything that leaks out of a Flathead Ford (including brake fluid) can be wiped up with no stain or damage to the floor.

From the looks of my garage you can tell I'm a true "shade tree mechanic". Nothing fancy just a simple one stall garage built in 1936....but built to last.
