Where does your "Rig" sleep?

He who dies with the most toys, wins.

It took a long time to load up the pictures and it still didn't show them all.

Since I don't have a real garage I bought a "garage in a box" from my local Tractor Supply store. It has a roll up "door" on both ends and is plenty of room for my rig and the wifes Ultra Classic to park side by side. I have never taken a picture of our bikes in there, but I will now.

Your Pix are what I live with Daily. (Also very nice clean floor)
I have a 32 x 88 Shop & Storage main building, then a 30 x45 storage building.........
Both are a "Labyrinth" of vehicles and "Stuff" (Spelled Sh!+). To get anything out is a 1/2 hour plus project....

In my bike cave----2 cars worth of the attached 3 car.

My Dog Taxi lives out in the Taxi Garage, of course. It has it's own space on the opposite side of my two car garage, but all my tools and sidecar related stuff takes up the other side, so essentially the garage is dedicated to the Dog Taxi all by itself. If I could get rid of all of the storage bins of pure junk, I'd have even more room dedicated to working on my Dog Taxi. That would make me happy, but it would really tick my wife off, as those bins contain her stored treasures. 🙂

Not to change this thread, I see that I was not the only one that gave their rig the "Persona" of a Taxi.
Mine is called the "Kabul Kab Service" and I should have added pix of my shop in the earlier post, called "The Junk Shop"

I'll try some pix of the Junk Shop & The Kabul Kab Service

Pix are going slow, Take 2

My tandem was not hanging head down, but very often travelling on top of the MZ sidecar as sort of "Dingi". In winter long ski and in summer the tandem.
The nowerdays Jawa is wandering arround from 9-12m barn roof, 12*12m machine shop in between the chips and machines or the house's garage.
poor girl is resting now dismantled since october. Thursday she recieved a new engine.
What I am kind of jealous about is, how you get it done to have a perfect shop floor and excellent lighting. I hastle with cement floor and a dark 7,5 m tall tin roof.

Sven, Being a Displaced Yooper, I can get most of your translated English,
My shop was 30 years in the wanting/waiting. My old place had a unheated garage with a DIRT FLOOR, 2 60 watt ceiling lights, 2 outlets on one fuse,
A chunk of plywood for a creeper, and a hand me down "Trouble Light" that would give you the 120 volt "Tickle" once in awhile.
Almost gave up the Beer, to get my new shop!! My "Get A New Shop Plan?.......
Put a "Beer Can Kitty" in your shop, for every Beer you or your Gear Head Buddies sucks down, a Dollar has to go in the Kitty.
I had mine in 30 years!!LOL

Thanks to wikipedia: Ja, ich hab's geschnallt - "Ya" I got it.
This weekend we were fooling about: "My dad drunk enough for appearantly at least 2 generations" - Me and the kids don't touch alcohol. And the one abouve may have mercy with his soul (and my toungue).
At the border between East and West-Germany I started as kid with a 3*4m wet freazing oil bunker as shop that grew with each house movement. For 23 years now I have my own machine shop 12*12m with lathe. mill and surface grinder. But with light and floor I got stuck at that stage thanks to the "good" pay of clients who only want your best. Only the electric shop 3*4m is white in white, so when a spring or screw drops I am supposed to find it easily on the white ceramic...If I had been able to sweep before.
The trouble is: Each time I get helping hands they "clean up" in that manner that nothing can be found afterwards. Sometimes I have to buy material 3 times before I can finish an installation. I even found a caliper in the composting place at the end of the farm.
For the rig's adjustment I once made up a measuring spot 3*3m with auto leveling concrete putty. That worked well until the double A frame with tecling and a 2-3 ton machine part had its party on top...
The electric shop and bath room in the shop once were made in second function as emergency escape resource, just in case when the best of all wifes would have again her don't toutch me day...Luckily never had to roll out the sleeping bag there.

Enjoy the spring, here we are in transition season and don't know how long this soft land rain will last, if 3 hours or 3 weeks. (PS: only 6 hours of cats and dogs)

Sven,
I feel your pain when people or family has great intentions of "Helping" put your stuff away,
My Biggest Problem is I have is I have 2 grown sons who migrate back to my shop to get tools for their own repairs......
And nothing ever seems too come back !!!!
My cure is to put a Electric Fence Charger on my Tool Boxes to keep them out !!

Fool who lends a book, greater fool who brings it back.
Ain't that the equivilent?
My solar fence in the farm din't work. But for 12 years the 2000V fence generator together with peppergas are a great psicologic theft prevention in my workshop van.
That they are hooked off don't have to know the friends of foreighn matter.
Your sons are older now. I got a symbolic hit in between the eyes at the age of 8. "You buy your own tools and work with them, or don't enter into the shop again"
So my oldest screwdriver is now 41 years old and has been sharpened only some 3-5 times.
And from my father: "You don't put a file on top of a caliper!"- whack.
There is still a triangle shaped hole in my scull.
Somehow you have to learn albeight the old prussian way.
