Sounds a really good reason *not* to have a heater in a garage where you are going to park a car full of petrol ! Petrol vapour can ignite 20 feet from the source ...

This is AFTER a clean up.... I knew I had too much crap in my garage when I had to store the lawnmower, snowblower and goldwing outside for the winter.

He's not kidding. I spent a day in Silverton recently and noticed "one or two" old cars around. Such a great historic town though! Used to camp at Molas lake with the folks in my younger days. Nothing like waking up to frost on the car windows in JUNE!

I should have let you know I was coming down (up). The fiance hadn't done the train before, so I tried to time it for the leaves changing. Had a few hours to kill, should have come seen you!

I have those same saw horses!

Sorry nothing to add to this list. I am kinda anal about keeping my garage clean.

Although this picture doesn't show it very well, Yes, travis I am a pig also:

You touched a nerve... After Dad passed away last year I stayed on to sell the house for Mom. In the course of all the inspections I learned that the local ordnances required that the water heater be located outside any living areas which means a separate outside utility room or the garage. Since houses in that area are typically built on slab floors, that means the garage gets the water heater - no problem, that's where it was. Now the "Rube Goldberg" factor hit: since the heater was in an area where combustibles were allowed to be stored, it had to be mounted such that the burner was at least 18 inches above the floor to avoid igniting heavy fumes. Talk about bandaids on patches over dressings! I rebeled when told that only a licensed plumber could relocate the heater and invoked the privileges of my PE license for the first time in years. Sheesh!

It looks pretty good, except for that blue thing ... ;-)
