    "Very nice shop...What is the machine you have covered??"

    That's a Foley reel mower grinder. I run a repair business for golf course equipment and I do a lot of sharpening. IMG_20121211_192618.jpg IMG_20130304_191054.jpg 20140405_120251.jpg

    That was just part of March of this year and also why the shelves were so important to me. Just a 25' x 25' garage and most days I could use at least double the space.

    What kind of work are you planning on in your garage? Other than the 12oz curls. :cheers: 20140717_165648.jpg

    I took this pic a few days ago and there are 2 more machines in the shop torn down for hydro repairs.

    Looks like business is good...I always thought golf courses had there own maintenance shops.

    Work in my garage is just normal home/auto repairs.

    Many of them do have maintenance shops but very few of them have the tools and experience for hydraulic testing and repairs. A lot of them don't own reel grinders either. I've been taking a lot of work from the equipment dealers over the last 4 or 5 years.

    You've got an excellent garage for the work you have. Clean and bright is the way to go.

    I don't see a mess, but I think a BEAR set up camp on your garage floor. Looks friendly at least.

    My yellow lab is 95 lbs and you can still see his ribs. He wasn't bred to carry that much weight so we keep him pretty trim.

    I have seen many of the English type labs that have that heavy set look. We had two like that, but one passed suddenly at age 3 last year. Now have the 7 year old and the one year old. The new black lab is the American lab. Taller, much more lean, and not the big block head. The one that passed and this black lab are females and I hate to admit it, but they are the more active and inquisitive of the sexes. My male just wants to sleep. His blood line has many AKC champions. We didn't bother with any of that when we got this black lab. She is a lover and very full of energy.

    Mine is 65ish lbs and the vet said he was fat :loco: :crazy:. I know he is always hungry though. I bet he'd eat a whole 50lb sack of kibble in a sitting if I let him.
