    I don't care about your shelves or problems with them! As a grandpa of seven, I want to get down on the floor and play with them and their toys. I am fluent in Tonka, Lego, Kinetic Sand, and whatever the dinosaur of the moment is with my grandsons.

    i’ve got 4 boys, and the proper anser to that question is “not me!”

    actually, that’s the answer to every question…

    Casper the friendly ghost lived in my house (or was it my head?) when I was growing up with two sisters, only his name was "not me".
    Not me got the blame for most things back then too.
    It wasn't until later in life that Bart Simpson defined "not me" with the line:
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything!"

    I have been wanting to do this for ages. I am always on the #^#%^ floor or rigging something up if I need to cut something or fix something properly. The vice is super old it was given to me by my in-laws, was built in the 30s or so apparently....so a bit of a sentimental value here. It works great. I gave it a hell of a clean up and then painted it red. Looks good to me.

    Yes. Just for little stuff. I always have this big project of organizing the garage but it last maybe 2 days...and then it goes back to a mess. I wish I had more space. We are "told" is a 3 car garage but BS, :facepalm:it is more like a 2 and half. I get the two units in there and then space in the back where I got the bench and that's it. :notsure:

    I'll post a picture of my shop tomorrow. Your garage is nothing to be ashamed of once you see the mess I have going in the shop.

    My garage getting ready to have the floor coated tomorrow. Most of the time it’s just my motorcycle and the wife’s car in here but I squeeze the 4Runner in when there’s bad weather.
