Sensational Saturday morning New York, Neil, George, Steve, Matt, Maker, Bud, Denny and all the crew. Hope everyone had a great start to the weekend and didn't party too hard. I made it to 2110 and passes out in my popcorn and drink! LOL
Looks to be a warm day but stick out at 85° and 60%rh. So I am thinking it will be an indoor day fixing a few things!
Yard work was done yesterday so outside is covered for the week.

Morning all NY and guests. Finally had to look up the meaning of needle scaling...... I wouldn't wanna get under the trailer to do that either ! In fact, I just wouldn't do it !

If I had the backhoe here, I'd pick up one side at a time so I wouldn't have to crawl underneath. As mentioned before this started out as a simple brake repair.

I was wondering why the backhoe wasn't involved yet!

Been throwing the idea of a community shop around. Find a garage w a lift, maybe a couple bays, and start a club for it. Everyone chips in, we all share the space. Enough people aught to make it affordable. Anyone have that in their town? I've never had a garage.

I have a 32' by 32' garage with a 17' by 32' addition on the back. It's too small and son's 67 Galaxie takes up space with parts for projects. So, I work out in the driveway.Or the yard. Don't have too many work benches, as things seem to pile up on them
You'd want to make sure that no long term projects would be taking up space. Insurance would be a must. Tools could be a problem. The person with the most knowledge might end up doing most of the work. Check with any local car clubs in the area.
I know a guy who loaned a garage out for someone to change a gas tank. Only took 6 months.

6 months for a Gas tank swap?! hahaha Yeah there would need to be a reservation system for the lift. Like a gym has for equipment. The tool loaner systems at Advance and AutoZone should help with a guy or gal bringing most of what they need without too much extra cost. Parts cost and their own labor. Could save a lot of folks a lot of money. And ya don't have to worry about weather.
