Bartman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I've got serious garage envy, but here's my little sanctuary. Since this picture, I've added added the missing concrete and it's full of cr@p. It's not much, but it works good for me. If I get too hot, I've got a rock pool with a grotto, rock slide and jacuzzi on the other side of the yard. Here's a pic of me about to take a refreshing dip by diving off my roof.

silicone boy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 DMANOZ57I showed your garage to my wife......she looked at me and said...... "youll just have to get by with your current garage,its 400% bigger than the shop you worked in for 30 years,AND IM not building you, or letting you build, a bigger one just because some guy on the internets got a bigger one than you and your not getting anything for x-mas either, that garage cost me well in excess of what we planed as it is!" YESSSS DEEER.......LITTLE, DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT ALL THE NEW TOOLS IM PLANNING ...HAAAAAA!!! Grumpy, you have no right to be jealous, because I think you have the best shop I've seen yet. You have something no other person has, a bass pond out back. I think I wouldn't get a whole lot done with that pond nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 We can all be jealous of DManzo, but for those of you who don't know the Bay area, Gilroy is the garlic capital of the world. Everything, including his upholstery probably smells like garlic. It's not a smell you can easily get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frizbyed the slices out a few yards and on impact the water boiled with fish eating the bread (brimm,& shinners) but the kid doesn,t know the differance and stays 5 yards up the bank where hes safe ever since.....see it pays to be a devious old grumpy guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 You have one heck of a wife for letting you build that! Agreed! She's a keeper! Everything, including his upholstery probably smells like garlic. It's not a smell you can easily get rid of. True, but we don't have to worry about vampires!
