Dude...wait...what?

Man - what an inspiration! I'm convinced I need a garage now. I need a $35k garage to work on a car that will be worth $8k when I'm done! This driveway shit just isn't working for me.

house situation is under control... i found one that is nicer than my last house and around $150 cheaper a month... it has two barns, a pond, a storage building with two car ports, a chicken coupe, an attached garage and another big garage... it sits on 60 acres of lands and has a lot of woods...

here's a satellite image:

Awesome house / land / GARAGE.... :mrgreen:

Chocolate Teapot = something less than useful, i.e. a Teapot (which holds HOT tea) made out of Chocolate (which melts) :)

I'll post pics and stuff this weekend. Working 4:30pm to 4am 6 days a week doesn't leave much time to take care of the stuff I need to...
