Does that sign on the shed say "Pig turd alley"

 

Yes it does, as a matter of fact. It's a little street in Amador City. The sign is a real deal from there, given to my Dad 30 years or so ago, as a gift from the Mayor. We had long time ties to that little city for 50+ years and this is a tribute to my Dad and all the family who've left us from that very cool little area of the Gold Country.

It is a pretty funny name though... Thanks for noticing. :beer

 

It would be safe to say I am jealous of you guys,hopefully one day soon I will have my own Mini.

 

Beautiful Garage! I need to have a garage sale...sell mine and start over!

 

Thanks. With two newly opened up holes, I'm on the hunt to fill at least one of 'em with a classic...

I really love this lift. Would you have any more info on it?
Thanks, Steve

 

This is what I have to work with, outside of work. This is also the only car to ever be in this garage, thanks to its size. At the moment it is much neater. I was just in there cutting out some nasty panels.

 

Very Nice!

 

Thats some garage, and Porsche too...

Thanks for sharing.

 

Awesome job on your garage! Which lift is that? Looks like the perfect lift for my needs as well... Also looks like you're here in CA. I'd love to come and see this place first hand sometime.

 

That is n awesome garage and nice Porsche

 

That is one of the nicest garages I have ever seen! You must have some ocd in you...well done!

 

Thanks!

I won't deny the OCD. Once I get started on something, I want it to be 'right.'

 

That shade of green reminds me of old school machine shops.

 

Looks good Jim

I'll have to post mine.. was a little intimidated by the last one :eek6:

 

My MINI sleeps in a carport next to the house. The garage is about 150 ft from the house and looks like a hardware store exploded in a British car restoration shop, I'm embarrassed to photograph it!

With two MINIs in it, not much room elsewhere.

 

Not sure, but I may have already posted this elsewhere... Had one of these in my garage a few weeks back. My buddy's new GP2, #73.

 

:cornut: Check my MA garage to see my real garage which is a carport. The photos of Margi are under the car port.

Here's my shop. It will never get confused with Jack Olsen's Garage Mahal, but I've tried to squeeze as much utility as I can out of the small space I have.

Starting from right to left on the panorama shot, we have the breaker box covered up by the new EZ Car Lift. The creeper and drill for the lift are right below the chemical shelf where brake fluid, carb cleaner, brake cleaner and similar things can be found. The store bought shelf holds car cleaners and waxes. The orange cabinet holds A/C gauges and a few parts that I have bought along with an assortment of light bulbs and fuses. Atop the orange cabinet is a gallon of carb dip, paint, stain, and primer. The next brown shelf holds lubricants (Kroil, silicone spray, cutting oil, various spray cans of paint, and a propane torch and solder. The wooden shelves further down hold jack stands overflow chemicals, and a battery tender.

The back wall has shelves with seldom used power tools such as Roto Zip, saber saw, and a big Dremel type tool kit, snap ring plier kit, a ton of screws, nails, and electrical connectors.

To the left of the garage bay is my reloading bench. My daddy and I built it in the spring of 1986 before he passed in August. The bench and shelves above it hold reloading tools and components. Just to the left of the bench is an 80 gallon two stage air compressor, and to the left of it is a somewhat overbuilt shelf for lead shot and bullets. The disassembled engine crane is atop it.

The antique hall tree is being stored until I can give it to my retired aunt. It's been in our family since before the Civil War. Above and to the left of the hall tree is Mr Heater. As you can see, there is a junked up craft table and various lawn implements. Storage shelving take up the whole left hand wall and the front wall. On the left of the shot is a tool box. There is another tool box hidden from view behind it.

The red hoses snaking throughout the shop supply compressed air to about 20 quick connects spread throughout any area where compressed air might be handy to have. There is an air conditioner in the back wall, and 4 box fans used as ceiling fans. This ain't much of a hangout or a man cave, but it's about as good of a shop as I can squeeze into 20' deep and 24' wide.

PS I'm kind of ashamed of the clutter and if I ever get the right lottery numbers, I'[ll post the newer upgraded version of the shop!
