Whats in Your Garage?

No, not the car.... The goodies...

What do you have in your garage, everything from wax to mechanical buffer right down to compounds you use. What do you guys got?

I am sitting here waiting for the long lists to follow...LOL...

Thumbs up

I have a motorcycle lift in my garage which makes working on and detailing my motorcycles much easier.

The garage is still under construction. Right now it is a bare pioneer arch building 25 x 32 x 16' high. 200 Amp electrical service. Electrical outlets will be 20 amp hospital grade recepticals. Air system will be installed per TIP's recommendations.
Future work includes insulation and a professionally installed epoxy floor.

A couple steel mills (lathes (sp?)), a LOT of steel, at least 2 Miller welders, a Miller generator, a 60 gallon air compressor, Coke machine, shelves and shelves of stuff we probably wont ever use, a table saw is waiting to go in, a drill press, a couple big steel work benches, a LOT of tools but only 2 screwdrivers, an 8 burner kitchen stove (think its 8 burners...)a huge wooden stereo with an 8 track player, reord player, 2 house boxes with a couple 12's, Earthquake 6.5's, and tweeters, and other stuff like that.....

In this pic the Explorer was dirty and being cleaned


Oh, I guess I totally missed the point of this thread. I really dont have any tools that aid me in detailing in the shop, except for a rickety little cart on wheels that I made to hold the stuff that I am using on a vehicle so I dont have to keep walking back and forth. All the detailing goodies stay in the house garage in a big box so it doesnt freeze.

I've got a surround sound stereo system and cable TV in the garage and a fridge too. You need something to do while waiting for the wax to haze. If I ever live in a warmer climate I'm going to get a shower and stand up urinal too, then I'll never have to in the house

Tools galore. Drill press. Air compressor. 2nd story storage with winch. A car lift. Heat and A/C. Stereo/CD. Cable TV. Phone. 2nd line for computer. Huge floor drain.

All I need is a George Forman Grill and I pretty much don't have to go back in the house anymore!

Brad, If I had your garage I'd live in it and rent the house out. Free up more funds for additional vehicles.
