What could be more topical in "The Garage" than a post about buying a new house with........A GARAGE!!! 
It's been a long time since I had space to work, and I know a lot of people have been patiently waiting for me to actually BUILD the things I've been talking about building for the last couple of years. As of today, there is one less excuse (space)...and before much longer I will actually have something equally important (time).
UPDATE:
Well, as anyone who has done a large whole-house move can understand....the process is exhausting, but it's DONE! I was able to complete the move over the weekend, and although there are still a few items left to be transported (Roll Cab Toolbox, 60Gal Upright Compressor) 95% of everything I own is now in the new place.
It's been raining almost constantly since the move, but I was able to snap a few pics to give you a feel of the "most important spaces"
The House itself:
Basically a simple New England style farmhouse design. There is an addition off to the right that isn't pictured, since if I stood any further back I'd fall off a big rock!
Shot from the far side of the driveway (debris in foreground is from stump grinding and recent tree removal):
Now....on to the MAN SPACE!!!!
It's not much more than a simple 24' x 24' 2-car garage, but it's a lot better than what I had previously...and believe it or not, my K5 fits through the doors...
How many truck-related items can you find in this photo??
Here are a few to get you started:
Open 2nd Bay allows access to storage above, and great storage for a 1st Gen hardtop...
So there you have it...... the garage where all my new "creations" will be, well .....created. Expect to see plenty of shots of those walls in the backgrounds of my photos in the future. Though I suspect that I'd better hang some fiberglass insulation and moisture barrier if I want to work out there through the winter months!!!
