Here are some pics of my hideout from the family. One view of the garage.
It's so packed that I work outside when the weather is decent.
When its crappy out, I gotta work indoors and there ain't enough room for the Park stand.
BTW, there are three workbenches in my garage and that is the clean one. When my Dad sees the mess, he tells me that if I learned nothing else from him, at least I learned how to keep my wife outta the man cave.

drrobwave, you are not a contender. I can see your floor!
Winner? Prize? I guess I abused the word "contest" to get the thread rolling. Hey, it worked.
Do we have a volunteer to be judge? Neal has already volunteered to send the prize.

The only thing I will add to these pics is that two cars are parked here every night.

Yeah but what the pic doesn't show you is all the golden retriever hair and everything he shredded this winter. I agree, I'm out! But I get a consolation prize - I get to show my wife that my garage doesn't hold a candle to some of your alls.

I read somewhere that organized people tend to have poor memories.

Alright... I hope someone learns something from this madness, or at least gets a good laugh. Keep in mind there's a full sized bench vise in there, for scale. If anyone can top this you have my utmost respect.
