Show Us Your Man Cave

I'm jealous of all you guys with shops.

All I have is an tiny old one car garage with a dirt floor that is on the verge of falling over.

Come work with me in my gravel lot and you'll be thankful for what you got!
"Quick, grab up all the tools, it's getting ready to pour the rain!!"
"****** mosquitoes are eating me alive!"
"Son of a BITCH I never knew a wrench could get so ******* hot laying in the sun!!"
Wife: "who's been putting all those scratches on your back??"
Wife: "DONT SIT DOWN ON THE COUCH!! Looks like you have mud and oil all over your back and in your hair!!"
Wife: "YOUR 'project' is getting MY car dirty!!"

Ahaha! That's almost word for word how it goes at my house. Lmao. I can't fit a truck in the garage so they get worked on out in the gravel drive. Stupid me bought some nice big gravel that's good for jabbing you in the back when you lay on it. Guys at work are still trying to figure out why I keep taking all the cardboard off pallets home with me.

Same here. I work in the driveway and hell yes the tools get hot. You set them down for 5 minutes and you need gloves to use them. Been trying to slide them under the truck in the shade. Gonna be 113 in OKC today. Record breaking, so everyone is staying in and just chillin.

Trust me, I bet the chrome gets even hotter. You'd think the chrome would reflect the heat, but it absorbs plenty.

The only flat place that is large enough to work on my crew cab is out in the street on Black tar coated asphalt. Its not sharp and pointy every where but it is hot as hell and occasionally a wrench or socket or someting will get stuck to the hot tar and is fun to remove and clean.

Lol. Hot asphalt would suck to work on.

I think one of the worst parts of working on rocks is I always drop little nuts and bolts and have to spend 20 minutes digging around trying to find them.

One thing I always looked for when buying a house, the driveway must be concrete, and must be flat. I hate driveways with a slope to work on vehicles. Nuts, bolts, sockets and anything will roll away from you to the gutter. At least you know where to find it or which direction it rolled, and hope your neighbor isn't washing their car or draining their pool and it gets swept away to the drainage system. Not to mention the danger of the vehicle rolling. If doing back breaks, and both rears are up in the air, I just don't trust front wheel chocks to keep it from getting away.
Only 1 advantage to a sloped driveway. Back the vehicle in, and then let it roll up on ramps. It's then level but you have plenty of room to pull a trans. But then again, it's nosed out away from the garage so you have further to walk to get tools. I grew up in a house with a slopped driveway and won't have one and haven't had one since.

Fortunately I have a level garage but my driveway is sloped pretty had, hate it.

 

[Stroked]

Yea, mine is almost level a good 18-20 foot out from the garage, but then it slopes a bit down to the street. It's hit and miss on which cars drag their front bumpers pulling in.

My mother's driveway has a rough slope. Low cars like our Grand Prix GT would scuff the underside of the front bumper and my mom couldn't her car in the garage on snowy or icy days.
