Re: The struggle is real!

Yup. I started working on my own truck a lot more after I got a garage. No fun working in the driveway (or, in my former case, the street).

Re: The struggle is real!

I have been working under car covers for what seems like forever! Laying on damp ground, welding while laying on a small piece of plywood on damp ground, you name it! I feel the pain!

Re: The struggle is real!

My projects slowed down after building garage/shop. Before, saw that unfinisned project everytime i was outside which motivated me , now its out of sight. If i dont enter my house by the garage im good! Im a slacker..lol.
