    My best friend is my storage -----

    To all the scrappers that don't have a yard or garage invest in a storage .... even if its only a small one its worth it ... i usually go with public storage they pretty much let me do what ever i want there (as long as i don't leave a big mess)... and the office hours r like 9 - 5 but the storage gates r open form 5:30 or 6 am til 9 or like the one i have now it closes at 10 ... so from 5:30 - 9 am and 5-10 at night you can bang , saw, chisel , cut ,sleep, all u want .... when i was homeless i used public storage to take a bird bath(hot water), play my xbox, break down metal, store metal , wait on scrap metal pickups, work on my truck, store my clothes, .... i even had a twin bed in there for times during the day to take a cat nap ....

    the costs sure add up for em though, especially if you ever get over into late charges. I'd recommend building one, even if you rent your house, then either make it move-able, or easy to dismantle and re-assemble
    definitely, a place to work is almost mandatory, I just like to make it as painless as possible
