You did make me look back on my pic though. I'm actually stooping three feet outside my pedestrian door, so the garage looks even bigger than it is. It doesn't hurt that I'm a "picker" too. That aluminum fold-up bench in the foreground? Garbage-picked. The two white cabinets on the left wall? Toss-outs. How about the three garage door openers? My buddy had used ones, and gave them to me. (He's got some kind of hoarding disease!) He also gave me the stainless commercial kitchen bench on the far wall - GREAT for doing transmissions! That fancy small chest of drawers next to it? Bought it for $10 at my employer's auction when the plant closed. Got a drawing cabinet at the same auction, and two HD workstation benches. Loads of Harbor Fright stuff, but I'm upgrading as things break. Homemade horses... I have the entire toss-out kitchen in there from another friend's house. The lights? I just rebuilt them all after buying a ton of 4' LED bulbs off of Ebay. An old hospital closed 15 years ago and I ended up with five of their lockers. The local charity wouldn't take them, so they found their way to me right before they were to be pitched. I could go on...

I hear you, very good work there!
