I guess I haven't shown this piece yet. I've got two of em, this one has the display piece showing, the other one doesn't have enough room. The display piece and shelves fold too. Haven't fully cleaned it, halfway haha

This pic is mostly for the flashlight. The old days were dark. We are so spoiled with new light tech, I've got a a handheld light about the size of a regular mag light, skinnier and a little shorter. Literally almost 4000 actual lumens, a handheld lightbar.

I remember the days of this old girl, checking cows in the 79 and this was the best we had. I'm sure you could get better for a lot more money. But this one took its beating, served its purpose and still works. Battery and light tech has come a long way lol. Night time isn't as spooky when you can see a half mile lolol

Also the cool galvanized cabinet.

@PrairieDrifter you may have mentioned it elsewhere, but what was your shop building originally? Looks like a pretty cool building.

I never have mentioned it. I havent been waiting for the day someone asked necessarily, but wondered when someone would notice the strange features lol. And the colors lol.

Y'all are gonna enjoy it for sure lol. It's kind of a long story.

It actually used to be our very small towns old elementary school from about the 50's-60's I think is when it shut down. Is pretty decent sized for the town and time. The church was the high school and also have a building for a full sized basketball court, the church and court building remain as they were, have been getting slowly restored, weren't ever abandoned. Not ours of course lol.

No idea how they acquired it, small town ****. Anyways I believe in the 70's my grandparents turned one half(the classrooms) into a 6 stall garage with 4 garage doors. So my garage that I work in is a 3 stall with one regular sized garage door. The other 3 stalls are regular garage parking for vehicles and some typical storage, the rest of the building is storage. Have some inside outside cats in there too.

Electrical works pretty good but is old, hvac and plumbing havent worked for a long time. Just a weird garage lol

Has a small basketball court outside, a swing set, a merry go round, all weathered now but still there. Used to be prairie baseball field just behind the building in the field.

If you look through my pictures you'll notice the layout basically. Need to get some paint and drain spout work done. You can spook yourself if you try, I'm used to it though lol

We built a 40x60 "shop" a couple years ago but is storage for what's left of the farm equipment and atvs and what not. The only thing that sucks about the garage is height. So if I need to I could do stuff in the shop, but tools and everything are in the garage a good jaunt away.
