My Half of the Garage

Post by fredsheldon »

I believe I have hit the limit in terms of space available to store all my goodies and still allow space for my wife's car, which was part of the deal before I got into this hobby.

From front right to rear, 500 shorty with dedicated Overhead Pin Router, Planer, 520 PowerPro, 10ER dedicated as a drill press and finally my Dust Collector. With a cabinet full of SS accessories and in the foreground two backup generators. All in only 200 sq ft. Of course the car goes out when it's time to get some work done.

Maybe you could get a smaller car, then you would have room for more toys. :D :D Mini coopers don't take up much room. :D

I have to use the front of my wifes garage too. I don't have as much space. I have about 6 ft by 15 ft. Thats it. The other day I decided to do some woodworking and didn't turn on the shopvac. She went out to leave later, and the entire car was covered wiht dust. I got in some trouble for that.

I had to build an 15' x 18' extension to the rear of my garage where I ran a 100 amp sub-panel. Still isn't big enough!

Couldn't she just ride a bike? I mean, those things hardly take up any room at all...
