That's the best way to garage.  Do you have a pizza oven out there, too?  Also a necessity for procrastination.

No, that's ridiculous, I don't have a pizza oven out there. I cook the pizza in the house and bring it out to the garage.

Ya, but, there is like 100 feet between the house and the garage. It's a hurdle that is tough to overcome. Also, garage productivity seemed to fall off once I installed a fridge and green lighted cigar smoking in the garage. So even if I make it past the first hurdle, there is no guarantee that I won't just end up drinking scotch and smoking cigars while watching TV out there.

Lifes hard guys.

Stay scrong FBC.

I like cold pizza, besides, I have to go in the house to get the chips and jerky and other "necessities".

Sounds like the house is the inconvenience. Get rid of it, move into the garage.

Isn't that the dream?

Once I strike it big and quit the day job, the next place i move will be into a 10,000 square foot garage with a nice 1000sqft living quarter loft.

Oddly though I'd probably still keep the pizza oven "in the house".

I think I speak for everyone when I say we need pics or shens. So far, we've seen a pallet with some damaged junk on it, and confirmation that there is no pizza oven in the garage.

Has anyone checked on FBC?  I'm imagining the Exocet fell on him.  His pizza stone and oven just out of reach.  Slowly dying of hunger.

Minnesota. Winter. Alcohol. The only thing around him that isn't frozen is his liquor. He'll be back when things warm up.

Possible, but since I'd be in the garage I would fashion a rudimentary grab stick using a vice clamp, broken broom handle, a stock miata sway bar and a section of speaker wire to actuate the clamp. With that, I would be able to reach the workbench where I keep cigars. Surely, after I have a good smoke, I would be able to fall asleep. Then worry about getting out from under the car the next morning.

Sounds similar to many other street-legal racecars. A Shelby Cobra, for example.
