It looks like you have some good stuff. Do you have a policy that will insure your stuff?

Measure once, cut twice...
no wait, flip that around!
I've seen too many times with small garages where people DON'T check.
As for my policy, I still need to take care of that.

Looks like a nice get away. And such a deal. And i must say. Purple or not I would have taken it also.

60 miles is too far IMO... however, i know certian areas dictate more driving... and with that much shop for that little coin... it's still worth it. I just don't like the thought of driving for one to two hrs to work on my junk.
As for the purple people eater... it wasn't totally free.... i'll be paying for it in back breaking labor. (caddy engine into old truck)

The day before thanksgiving the Th400 crapped out on the burb.
I used to, but not on these rims. I'll see if I can dig up a photo.

Columbus has a totally fubard freeway set up. There's 270 that goes all clear around... I take that 1/2 the time and it 's about 35 min (i'm just off the freeway on the west side, and the garage is just off the freeway on the east side) The messed up part is we have I-70 going straight through the center, east to west. However, when you get down town, it joins up with Rt 315 and I 71... all in a matter of a 1/2 mile. It's totally messed up. If it is anywhere close to rush hr, then you better take the I 270 loop. If it is off peak time, I can do it on I-70 in 25 min or so.

It looks like building are few and far between behind it. Is it in the country?

I ain't complaining... that's for certian. Since my truck will barely fit in there... talking 3 inches for and aft with the bay door closed... I feel it's a small garage. As for location... it is in an area that is comercially zoned, so most of the houses there are far and few between. it is real close to Port Columbus Internation airport, so as a residential area, it was never real popular.

I remember my first garage when renting ,,I went to the furniture store and got some big cardboard boxes and took them apart and stapled them up to the studs in this old garage and then painted them white with my sears spray gun so to lighten it up in the place ..the reflection is what does it.. I notice that you already have white walls so thats good ..sure hope you are in a safe neighbor hood and don't get broken into ..

The owner knows I'm not living there... I was honest with him as to my intnentions with the building... told him I was going to work on my junk, but I wasn't going to be there every day. I keep an eye on conserving power, and if there is a problem, then i will pay a little bit more. The problem is, there is no way to measure what I'm spending, and the guys he has the house rented to are spending. So it would be hard to 100% blame me.
The painted cardboard is a good idea. However, i have a LOT of junk up in the rafters too, and will be accessing it somewhat frequently too. I'll have to remember that though.
