LOL.. looks familiar from before I got married. I kept being told that my kitchen and dining room in my apartment looked like a garage.

Nice Try Keith, But I've seen your Trail, BC cliffside Hacienda'. Do what I did. Frame in, insulate & finish the attached breezeway, install a propane blower & you're good to go  . I always say the bike was relatively inexpensive, it was the "house mods" killed me. Besides you're a skilled carpenter and the days of "living in a van down by the river" should be in the rear view mirror.  And when are you going to fit those EZ brackets? And is that my metric socket set lying on the table? Mine came up missing on or about 4 pm, 7/18/2009 Cheers, jh

All your "stuff" right where you need it and nobody messes with it while you're out! I remember those days.

Keith,
I think you could exhibit that table as modern art.
Just title it "Bloke alone".
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Don't feel too bad. I have a garage and my work bench looks the same. Only not heated. At least you can replace your jets without dropping them 20 times due to shivering hands. Also it would be easier to turn wrenches with out thick gloves on.

There's comfort in knowing I'm not the only one that ends up with a table like that! Thing of beauty, ain't it? Yeah... I think it DOES qualify as modern art!!

Nah, it needs some dirty plates, take away cartons, empty beer bottles/cans and some porn to be really "reflective of a modern single mans lifestyle in early 21st century western culture"

I don't know Fred,
Sounds like you crossed the line from having a garage to having a shop
