    Under a large ceder tree...and unless it's really raining stays dry underneath at which point out comes the tarp.I see this as practice for having to wrench on the trails.Not that I wouldn't jump at a heated garage

          I work in the driveway. Pulled the transfer case Tuesday and it started raining and has just stopped 30 minutes ago. Got to love it.

              Routine work is done in my driveway or a friend's garage. A large portion of the work is done wherever I am when it breaks down. [img]smile.gif[/img]

                This is a pic of the house I just moved from. My buddy is looking for a can of beer he set down! we had to let the air out of the 31's to roll it into the bay(7'door)the driveway is steep, the house is on Paris Mtn.. The garage is full of crap to re-model the house with and a staging area for every project I have going on and my re-loading bench.

                My new house has a carport that is unfortunately well below the average high water mark during the hurricane season. So I have to build up a platform to put my tool box on and alot of shelving to get the other tools off the floor. But it is 2 car and has a 10x20 shop area at the back. I'm going to close it in and hang an 18' door. The best part is my Jeeps can sit in the driveway in neutral and they wont roll.

                You can see the water standing in the driveway, thats just from a hard rain! Last year hurricane Isabelle brought water to the bottom of our floor joists I am going to cut the driveway and install a drain to help with the rain water and just hope for the best during hurricane season. Got lucky this year!

                  I work on my GW in the shop on my dad's farm. When I was a teen I soon learned that if I left it in dad's shop long enough, it usually got fixed...by dad. Later, he would usually mumble something like, "I had to fix your blankety, blank, POS Jeep so I could get that bucket of rust outta my shop so I could work on the combine." Dad once worked in a garage, and he could fix whatever was wrong with that old Jeep while I was trying to figure out which tools I needed. I actually think he liked working on it because somtimes if he didn't have anything better to do, he would pull it in his shop and fix stuff that he thought "needed fixin" even though I didn't know there was anything wrong with it.

                  Finally I had to sell "DA Beast" when Dad evicted the old tub of rust and bondo from his equipment shed to make room for a new John Deere. There was so much oil on the cement floor where it dad been parked for years that Dad said it looked like the Exxon Valdez had been drydocked in there.

                  If Dad ever sells the farm, and gets rid of his tools and the farm business account at the NAPA store my Grand Wagoneer will have to go!

                    The driveway as usual. But after years of wrenching in any weather, either on a tank in the army or on the family vehicles, the Jeeps Gods smiled at me, and with my first new to me house there is a detached 2 car garage with a 75000 BTU natural gas heater. Tonight was the first night getting organized enough to get something in there!

                      For now, I have a 2 car garage. But soon, after a 4" lift, 33s, and a Tadrack, I will be forced to use the driveway.

                        You can get a look at "the shop" here: http://f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/zingflap

                        The photos were taken over the span of a couple of months. We still need to insulate and install a heater for these cold Minnesota winter months. We put up plastic sheeting to at least help hold some of the heat in. We are currently, carefully, using Knipco style heaters.

                          I got a nice narrow ditch beside my trailer. I push or drive it in and level my rig out then I have all the room I need underneath. It doesnt leave much room for weather though. So that is where the weather channel helps out for my more than a day projects. And ants are vicious so watch where ya park.

                              I've been working on this for a couple of weeks now with the help of my son. Hope to have it closed in by the end of the month. Gonna be a big change from the 24x24 I'm working out of now.
