MrTucker--You're lucky your condo lets you do that. Most rental and multi-family places won't let you do much.

I have a 2 car garage, with 1 car space. I think there is a lot of that going on around here. But it may be moot. I'm not sure the door is high enough or if the garage is even long enough. It was built in '38 and had an 18" extension added sometime later.

I think I'm gonna call the city to see if I even can work on it in the driveway (anonymously). Had no problems the week (weather didn't cooperate) I converted the 70 to disks. But it was a "repair". I will have to pull the front clip to work on the floors etc. That could be a whole other story. The issue is "drivable" versus "project".
