My garage is probably packed x3 to that. I have my mower, my valuable scrap(which takes up most of it), and my supplies for my chicken coop project this year.......at least you have some walking room! Besides, this is a good problem to have don't ya think?
Yeah buddy!
Same problem!! The wife doesn't always think it's a good problem to have when the kids need bikes out, but when I cash in she forgets................for a while
Haha
never could figure out why anyone would want to waste a garage by putting a car in it. get more shelves, tooooo much dead air space ;-)
I've spent the last couple of days cleaning out my new warehouse in Michigan since I have been back, and getting the tools I need to work from it. Looked like a real chit hole when I got here, but it's getting better. Will send pics when I am fully up and running.
@brojer niiiice!
The wives always hate the scrapping til its payday and then its ok til the money runs out
I just took my Fiance out to show her the "new" Forklift. She admitted she was nervous, until I walked her around and started showing her, what she called, "Piles of Cash". Headed to the Scrap yard to drop off 3 loads of "Shred Steel" tomorrow. And pick up 8 more Gaylords of goodies.
...was stopped by a front-end loader garbage truck backing into the street to dump a container. While I was waiting, I took a second look at a pile of commercial trash stacked on the curb next to me. I wasn't completely sure of what I was looking at, so I asked my high-heeled wearing exwife to get out of the pickup and step on it. (It was either lead pan or galvanized tin sheet). After a "small" discussion, I won!
The pile smooshed down (lead) and by the time I got around the truck to load it she was really mad at me.
Several hours later when I called her at her office and let her know we were $450.00 richer because of her efforts she was hooked!
I had a hard time keeping her out of dumpsters after that one. True story.....1983 Dallas, Texas
This an ongoing problem for me. When you clean it up and bring it in you will just get more scrap to put back in there witch is always a good thing. I got $92.55 for aluminum sheet, Alum Exc, and cast alum for cleaning out a corner in my garadge on monday :)
You can sell that metal roofing for 5 - 10 a sheet on Craig List
Having scrap in your garage is a good savings account
I need to post a pic of mine lol, i seem to be a hoarder
I have a side yard that the scrap is kept in till turned in. Single car garage is for Clist and Ebay things...often times their item is waiting in back so they have to look at other items as they pass by.
The walkway next to the house looks like a junkyard, but a very large trash can that I got from a foreclosure clean-out hides the view from the street.
What kinda chickens ya gettin sir?Quote:
