Renting a garage.
There's this guy locally who's renting garage space for automobile work or whatever at $50 - $75 a month I believe. Once I get on my feet again I'm seriously considering trying this out for at least a couple of months. The one big obstacle between me and doing work on my car is the fact that I have nowhere to really let the car sit while I'm tinkering. Any opnions or experience with this would help. I'd definetly like to work on Magen if I could store her in a dry and safe place while she's naked and in pieces.

That was my big issue when I lived in an apt, and why I HAD to have a garage in the place I moved to.

It's an older two car garage.....so for todays standards, it'd be a 2 1/2 car garage. You could comfortably fit two cars in there before I put the shelves up and built the workbench.
I think I could still squeeze two cars in there....but it'd be that....a pretty tight squeeze.
I have a pretty big living room. I almost wish the garage had a little recessed room, and was in further in that area, and the living room was smaller. I'd put the work bench and tools over in that area. That'd give me a little more room.
However i can't complain. I've got a pretty nice setup now. I really need a "shop" and a garage

My garage is set up like Josh's. 2 car, with 2-single-car doors. If I pull into the middle, I have enough room to have all 4 doors open and plenty of room on all sides.
I wish we could knock out the wall to our 3rd garage, but something tells me that thing is a very load bearing wall, lol. The 3rd garage is not nearly big enough to do anything but park.
When I get my own place, I'd rather have a 5 or 6 car garage, and my living space on top of it. That, or a warehouse and just build my own rooms

We've got a 10 car with 3 doors, problem is there are support rods positioned throughout. This makes finding a big enough spot a pain. My tools are a good 30 feet from my car... Oh well better then nothing

A good car is like a good woman...
She will turn on when you want her to and she will always give you the ride of your life.
