SWMBO is going to be mad

I can occasionally let her car sit outside overnight, but very rarely. Of course, the Corvette gets in the garage regardless. ;)

I hear you!! I am just glad that when we built our house we added a third garage in the walk-out basement. I later converted this into a shop. I can tell you in all honesty that if I even suggested using my wife’s garage for my shop needs I would be out in the weather before her vehicle would be.

Good luck. I hope you have a tent but maybe she will be in a forgiving mood since this is for HER home. :)

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

guess i’m the lucky guy i got my whole 2 car gagrage for my shop and the cars get to stay in the drive way. of course the wife does make me start and clean off her car in the winter. small price to pay for my man cave.

I’ve never had a garage… vehicles have always endured the elements. .. sigh

and I have a lathe sitting in my back hallway. (My choice).... where does one draw the line!! lol

When we bought our house, one of the requirements my wife gave me was to have a work shop. (she wanted it for me!) We allways leave the cars to the elements. Had no intention of parking in the garage. That is my shop.

Did I mention how much I love her?

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Hey Scrappy,
Your wife and mine must be sisters…...we can be lucky sometimes….good one.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

A garage used to protect a car . . . what a great idea. Around here when people open their garage all you see is the inside lumbered up with boxes, kid’s toys, xmas decorations and other junk.

Hope the couch was comfortable. :-)

tools and our hobby comes first. Buy her a car cover and if she don’t like it she can sleep on the couch

I’m with zuki. Cars in a garage? What a weird concept!

I hope you didnt need the couch last night!

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

Does she like the couch?

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I’m like Charlie. Cars in a garage, that’s almost like gloves in a glove box.

Oh man…I designed my shop to accommodate everything, including the truck and her car. We haven’t parked a vehicle in there for two years!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Garage? Wish I had one, we only have a driveway, and I put in 4×4’s to erect a shade sail for my Dad to be sheltered from the sun as he sculpts the pecan log in the driveway that my mother-in-law saved when the storm blew it down into her lawn in Georgia and my husband hauled it back in his pick-up truck after a family reunion July of last year.

The wood workshop is in the basement and I took it over, so my husband claims. I vacuum more down there than I do upstairs.

I have a 3 car garage, and my 2 vehicles get absolute, unconditional priority for space. I’ll back them into the driveway if I need more room to work, but if I go somewhere, the one I’m not using goes back in, and overnight, they’re both in. I’d put a project in the driveway overnight before one of my vehicles. This is the policy of a two-time victim of vehicle theft.

-- Measure twice, then try to figure out which one was right.

My wife and step daughter are from a 3rd world country where most people have never driven a car because they could not afford one such the case of my wife. They’ve been here several years now and my wife has been learning to drive for two years..ouchy. One night our daughter was in a bathroom next to the garage. I heard her yell WOW dad mum’s home. I asked her now how do you know that. She said she just hit the side of the garage again and knocked the bath towels off on me..in my case don’t think that would be a good place for a workshop.

My garage is my shop too. The wife thinks its too much trouble parking in it anyway.

And she don’t complain when I come home with a new tool.

She even lets me bring home stray wood…stray dogs too but then so does she on the dogs.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.
