A couple more pic's.
I removed 28 - 8' lights, and only leaving 2, only if I have to.
There is a spare 392 Hemi hidden in there also.

You don't decorate much for Christmas, do you?

You have NO idea, of the amount of Xmass stuff we put out, it takes days to put up. The attic of the house is still full of Xmass things, you can only see a dent of what we have in the garage alone. It was in the attic of the garage, but I have it down now, and it's every where.
We put up the most stuff in our area. Power company loves us at Xmass.

Hemi Garage looks just like mine . Only im not packed to move . Had to remove a box from chair .

I hafta admit - my current house, the garage and shop ain't too bad. I had a 30 x 40 foot pole barn with a loft at the last house - full of greasy and/or rusty treasures along with the very big shop area in the basement and plus another 15x30 foot garage and the normal attached 2 car garage with full attic. Now after several years of selling at 3-4 swap meets a year, almost out to where I can see the walls of my shop AND the 2 car garage(tho half of that is set up as a paint booth).

I have repacked it 4 times, once since the pic's, I can get the mustang in at night now. I still have to get the Blazer in there to change the tranny & it's a 4x4 of course. .
If you look between the coupe body & the rocker, I have a path back to my 2 work benchs one on each side, so that I can still work on some things. You can't see the benches, they are behind the coupe and the stack of box's
The garage is 26'w x 30'd with 10.5' ceiling & 9' high doors.


Pat

Hey Pat,
Is that tire and wheel in front of the tool box mine? Well if it is, that's the whole problem with your un-tidy garage. Just look at my garage since I retrieved that wheel from you.......
Do you see that same wheel? And look under the bench, there's your engine & tranny I bought from you. Gosh if you'd take a current picture with all my stuff out of there it would almost seem............. a clean.

Tom,
How the heck are ya?
That be the same tire,
Tom helped unpack 1 of the trailers we had our stuff in,which is at least half of the stuff you see.
I filled up his van/truck with parts 2-3 times. I got rid of alot of parts! I sold on ebay& other ways 50-60 parts, '27/26 T coupe, '23/25 T chassis, 2-'38 Ford pickup body & cab, '68 El Camino with 406/t350, '49 flathead, 1-v6, 1-v6 turbo/t350, '36 chevy pickup complete front clip, etc, etc. I still have quit a bit of stuff yet, that I won't sell.

I have a complete hobby room packed in there, (To much to list,)R/C cars, trucks, planes (40 unbuilt kits), 1/10 scale dragster that turns twin motors @102,000 rpms with adjustable stall clutch, (I bought the body & rear tires, motors and I built everything else), boats, built plastic model everything( about 50 unbuilt kits), and to many new & spare parts.
The room looks over full, is because I had 2 hobby rooms downstairs, 1 for building, & 1 for storage of all the parts, and then needed to to start to remodel the basement, and moved it into 1 room. 2 other people use to come over and build R/C planes, for about 12 yrs.


Tom, how was your vaction? You could have brought more warm air back with ya, heck they don't need it all.
Did you get rackoon eye's from your sunglasses? I'm glad all the snow this winter stayed to the south of me, Monday we got 6", yesterday we got another 4, it's been dust snowing since yesterday, and we are down to about 3" left this morning. It's melting quickly.

We had open house Thursday, with a good turn out of people. People are at least out looking again! And on a Thursday!

Well I never got Racoon eyes because I only got to the beach one time and didn't even have my swimming suite along.

I was up your way yesterday, took my to her synagog. In the future I might just drop her off and swing past your place. Suchs who knows you might be in one of your "giving things away mood again", like maybe some T stuff.
Sure hope you finally get a decent offer for your house. It's gotta be frusterating for you guys.

Well said!
My garage is looking better every minute! I just sell whatever I haven't used in the last 5 years, or if it stubbed my toe and I thought about launching it on a cruise missile somewhere!

Pat that's quite the model collection. Just post the 48 ford truck model to me, and you'll have one less thing to trip over!
I love building models. I have a wooden ship model of the USS Constition, that I will build before I die. It was a beautiful kit valued at 500$ that I picked up used at a thrift store for 12 bucks. Great plans, to fabricate all the missing parts. Just need the time, patience and space to build it!Steve.

Here's a pic of the 1st hobby room pic above now. It was all 1/4" pegboard walls. We gutted the basement and it's all new.

Dave, you'd be suprised of the things people are including with their house, to try to sell it.
If you don't need to sell now, I'd wait, but of course if you want mine, then you need to move now!
I know, you want to go south.

The way the market is now, I feel like I'm trying to sell a piece of crap, it's not, it's all redone, roof to basement. We are not over priced, we're below what it's worth!
We have a new double cantered roof on our house, it makes the house look smaller than it is.

Here's my house, anyone interested?

Tom, did I give you the dip stick tube for that t350?
You don't happen to have a T front axle laying around? (I gave my spare away, now I need one)

Steve, I have been building them since I was 7-8 yrs old, I couldn't tell all that I have, but I could name most of them. I have a U.S.S. Hornet aircraft carrier model that I have to build yet. My dad was on it, in WWII. I also have a R/C sailboat that's has a 85" mast. I got rid of my Tunnel hull & V bottom boats, They are a pain in the a$$.

Pat

Yeah, I don't know.... Don't have to sell and the market is really trashed right now.... Got all summer to figure something out I guess, ain't going to spend another winter here, the cold crap kills me......
