Who needs paint! You have drywall and probably insulation behind that!
My youngest played club hockey, took us all over the country.
but then at some point he lost interest, I hang them in the garage to remind me of the fun we had, and time together. They cumulatively could have been another Corvette siting along side mine.lol.

The pump and remote are stored neatly in this Husky tool box. Keeps it clean and stores away nicely.



Hoses and blocks in a separate drawer in the roll away!
I knew there had to be some neat freaks out there!

I can respect being neat, orderly and tidy but if I did that with my Quickjacks honestly I probably wouldn't use them very much because for me they are quite heavy and my body is degenerating by the hour lol.

For me it’s more of a dust thing. I’m in the Central Valley in California surrounded by agriculture. Everything around here gets incredibly dusty. Especially in late summer and early fall during harvest. Neat freak? Well yes, I guess I resemble that remark! Lol!

You just reminded me, I lived in Manteca once when I was 11. it was a temporary job my old man had at Sharps Defense Depot Base. i would have to ask him specifically what it was back then. I just know he was ATC.

I'm not the hugest fan of all things California anymore but we did have fun there that year. That was back in like 1980.

Yeah that bay I don't use to work on my cars at all. I have a double bay I use for all work just to the left in that picture. I hate having my truck sit outside all the time here in AZ so when I back it in I have about 2 inches between the front bumper to the garage door and the rear tow hitch cover is actually against the wall. It doesn't fit facing the other way at all. The garages down here stink for length unless you build a semi-custom house. Most of that "stuff" will be going into the new shed I have in the back yard now anyway so I hope to get most of the "clutter" out of there, when it cools off again soon.
