Garage Hangout

[Stichill_imp]

When I leave for long business trips, that's how I park my bikes - between the work bench and the cars. Not practical for every day use, but if my garage door was ever left open for some reason while I'm gone, the bikes would be impossible to swipe quickly.

Still, come on dude, not even an oil spot? And not a blade of grass on the floor around the mower?

Bah, we are all allowed to keep something new for awhile. Kinda like the west coast garage theme - clean and inviting. I have seen marvelous west coast garages that instantly turn into bedrooms with a kitchen when guests stay overnight. The floors are so clean you can walk the perimeter in bare feet and not pick-up even a dried up centipede.

Mind you: Keeping a garage like that is a bit harder on the northeast coast winter.

Winters are very sloppy here too. Plus our driveway is always full of wet plant debris from trees overhead. It comes into the garage on the car tires...

That's a lovely way to express it, thanks, Stichill!

But it is big enough (just) to work on the 'bike, sit and have a cup of tea (and a bar of chocolate if Maggie's not around!!), have all the tools I need to hand and to even seat a buddy if one drops by. If I need more room, I can push the Beemer out (into the rain!) and move the bench. It's centrally heated and has great lighting too.

It's a bit messy in the pic - it needs a bit of a tidy.

Right on! You’re way ahead of me with the central heat! I freeze in winter and swelter in summer in mine.
