Hah! You call that a mess? Pffft! You, sir, don't know how to make a proper mess. The "shop" area of my garage makes the wife cringe. She prefers to act like it doesn't exist -- which works just fine for me.

My maternal grandfather was a Navy machinist mate in WW2. He spent forty years after the war fixing everything he could lay his hands on, then selling it for a profit. Lawnmowers, air conditioners, tractors, cars, boat motors... it was all fair game. I spent summers with them and grew up around his shop. Imagine heavy butcherblock work benches lining every wall, tools lying randomly about, "mystery parts" hither-and-yon, a hundred mason jars filled with fasteners of every conceivable type and variation, and all if it covered in decades of grease, steel filings, weld slag, oil and GoJo. Most people would find it... disconcerting. To say the least. But for a little boy, it was heaven.

I can still remember "helping" him build my first minibike in that shop when I was about 10. He's long gone now and the shop torn down. I dearly wish I had some photos of it; the only place that shop exists now is in my mind.
