Hi ,
Until I got married, the living room of my house was literally a car
parts store. The entire room (about 10 feet square) was completely full
of Stanpart panels, new trim, rubber, with a 170 amp Industrial Mig
welder occupying the centre. It was physically impossible to get into
the room without removing parts as you went........ then I met Karen,
who convinced me that renting a large lockup garage out of town really
was a sensible solution, and got all the cars (well....most of them
anyway) and parts under one roof! Now we have somewhere to put a sofa
and comfy chairs, though I've not yet painted out the oily handprints on
the walls!
Cheers,
Bill.
