cheap garage

I was out in the country tonight and saw a very odd sight. A friend of a friend bought a run down mobile home for $800. It is uninhabitable because the factory plaque is missing. So my buddy gutted the thing, chopped one wall off, and built a set of doors in it's place. It is very intresting to say the least. It is perfectly wide and tall enough to pull his lifted Yota into. He has a window unit A/C. I seriuosly doubt anyone out there had a 12x80 shop for under $1000.

Couches in the yard. Original. The man is innovative not rich. A smart man talks of ideas a lesser man of people. Besides the less he spends on the shop the more he can splurge on his truck. lol

If I didn't live in the city, I am the kind of guy who would try something like that (as long as no one was looking!)

With the way some of the older homes were designed, my luck would be that the truck would be sitting under the garage the next morning.

My dad used a smaller fith-wheel type travel trailer to build a J-3 Piper Cub airplane in. He put the "hatch" in the rear wall, and just folded it down when he wanted to go out side and change his mind....
