So we had a baby a month ago. Then we decided to trade in our 10yo car
with the dying AC for an SUV. We didn't get full trade-in value because of
how badly dinged up the hood and roof were from the walnuts falling overhead
from my neighbor's tree.
So now my driveway, which could park 3 cars and allow any one of them to
enter or exit, is down to a 2 car park and only the last car can get in and out
(driveway goes from 3 lanes down to 1). I forgot one night last week and
parked under the tree. Nice little dent in the new car's hood by the morning.
I can't get a parking tent because we live in a historic district and I can't
widen the driveway for the same reason and because there's a utility pole in
the way. Closest street parking is on the far side of the house. So to keep
the cars looking decent, I'm going to park one in the garage.
So I've decided to revert my full time shop back to a half shop and half garage
for the new car. I'm really not looking forward to it. I have 200bf of walnut
leaning up against one of the doors and a whole lot of other junk in the way.
Most of my tools are on wheels but that doesn't mean I still like having to
put them away everytime I use the shop. The only bright side is when I
started WWing, I had a full-time 2 car garage which was sometimes a shop.
I was much more compact and organized then. I'm hoping by having to keep
things mobile, I can get back some of that organization.
I figure I'll be WWing again in a few years at the rate it takes me to clean. I
never thought I'd be going the other way with my shop.
I'll post pictures of the transformation when I can.
