I'm movin'!

Were moving into our first house in a couple weeks and I'll finally have a garage of my own! No more working on **** in the alley under the sun! I'm stoked. Thought I would share with everyone.

Congrats shizzy, Having the security and convenience of a garage is a big plus. And I imagine that is especially true in Colorado several months a year.

Congrats Shizzy. I have a 4 car garage (3 spots taken) nice workbench and room to park the SHawk. Nothing like parking your stuff inside!

Would that be to drink the beer or put on the brakes? Probably both.

Congrats on the home... except the only issue with your plan is now that your a home owner you won't have time to work or ride your bike!!!!! (I speak form experience!!!)

But where is the lift? Or the hanger? Congrats on your first built for you workspace. Buy what YOU think you need. The best way to build a healthy and long enduring shop is proper tool maintenance. Know where your **** is and put it up b4 you go to bed.

SMALL refrigerator?!!!

Oh...and how big are the speakers?

Look again, I have a Handy Lift + another. I also built stands that lift the back of the bike for shock changes rather than hang from rafters (which is not structural sound in many cases).

2.5 CF is enough for 2 six-packs & a couple of 5ths of hard stuff!
Surround-sound & Dolby has also been sufficient but I get distracted with music when I'm doing critical stuff being ADD, etc. LOL
