basically i live on the backside of the block on main st in my town, but the side on main st is all business'. and the neighbors on my side of the block wont mind a bit.

as far as the phone # thing, i already use my cell # for my "real" job so thats nothing new (but i agree it can be and is very annoying) and im not gonna advertise other than a sign in the yard, i will give my number to anyone who leaves something to get worked on though.

i also planned to have the bikes for sell in a bike rack along my driveway, so the only time someone would be in my garage is to get work done.

just planned for a weekend thing, ive got a 8-5 M-F job and the wife works on the weekends so im at home during the day tinkering anyway.

still not entirely in motion, so ill take all the "ain't worth it" advice into consideration too
