Well, the move's over, but the work isn't...

[hemi68charger]

I'm sure you all know what I mean..........   We closed on this new house on the 28th of Dec. and moved in on the 29th.. The house was the easy part.. My garage took me literally three days to move... As you can see, the new 4-car garage slowly, but surely filled to the brim... You can see Dana... The six pack '70's back there somewhere. 

...and I still have to make room, believe it or not, for my '68 Hemi that should be done by month's end or early Feb. So, I have my work cut out for me.. What you see is literally everything I have collected that was dispersed between the garage's attic and floor of the old house's 4-car garage... Here, every thing's on the bottom floor. I have plenty of attic space though in this new one. The pitch of the roof is such I can nearly walk upright in the middle, so that'll make it nice........ I"ll insulate it and put some decking in with shelving..... In the end, I should have plenty of attic storage and room for my '68....

Paul, what are you saying? I"m a saint or I have a bunch of dodo?

Nice Crib Bro! Congrats! 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I think your garage is bigger than my whole house! 

[bull]

Now, get rid of that goofy pull-down ladder and install an elevator. Looks like a fancy place. Are you a newly-elected state Senator or something?

[TruckDriver]

I think your garage is bigger than my whole house! 

About twice the size of my apartment anyway.

[Shakey]

What a great set up - congratulations on the new home!

Thanks... Nope... But I'll be working on it when I retire I think.. I could only afford this house because I'm taking care of my elderly Mother now and we sold her house to help with this one...... I've pushed legislation all the way to the Governor's desk to sign into law.. Pres. Bush when he was Governor............ The ladder is a big upgrade for me... I wish I had an elevator at this point, my legs and feet are sore as heck... But, gotta keep goin'........

Thanks to all for the cool words......

I feel your pain Troy.  After our move in day Dec.17th I still can't find my Charger in what I thought was my garage.  It's really a staging area for house hold things for my wife and empty box deposit.

[69_500]

Where did you find a house with a 2 deep garage? I looked all over here in central Indiana for a house with a garage set up like that. Although I was asking a bit much, because I wanted one that was 3 cars wide, and 2 car deep and a house with a full basement as well. NO LUCK, or at least not in our price range.


You really thinking of running for an elected position after you retire Troy?

He had it custom built.

I must admit I am jealous. Nice garage.

The wife and I are currently looking for a new home, I can not find a garage as nice as yours. I will probably have to have something built.

[69_500]

Ah see I missed that little tid bit of information.


Hey Troy, why don't you build me one of those for here in Indiana too? JK

It took an act of Congress to get Darling Homes to build it since they've never built a garage this big or for that matter, a portacache this big..... But, I told them as I was walking out the door from the sales department, "You get me what I want, I'll buy"..... Needless to say, persistence paid off... It wasn't cheap mind you.... But, again, since I'm taking care of Mom now, things were a little bit better with the large down payment we were able to do... I'm financing what the average-Joe would....

Danny, as far as office goes, I've always been sort of attracted to the political arena in trying to "get things done that's just right"... The power of the pen and voice is something that still holds true to a certain degree here in the U.S. of A.... Plus, when someone ticks me off and I know I"m right or it's the right thing to do, I'm relentless....  Hence, the Bill I introduced and later became Law was spurred by someone ticking me off and calling me a "racist". That'll show him and now,, no more "freebies" for Mr.Deception... 

[69_500]

Ooooh,, well I can say that if someone was running for a political officer here in Indiana and had a Charger 500 and wanted a Daytona as badly as you do, I"D VOTE FOR THEM.

Okay so its not good to base votes on that, but man I would consider it.

[TUFCAT]

BEAUTIFUL MAN......that thing is HUGE!!!  Will you get central a/c, surround sound and plasma TV?

I'm also a Veteran....  Desert Storm, Noble Eagle and two tours in Iraq....   I'd get rid of that stupid "gas guzzler" tax you see on the new Challenger SRT's...

Thanks....... But, I'm no Donald Trump or Tim Wellborn (by the way, Tim has the ultimate garage. His even has a granite bar.)

But, I do have a cable tv outlet out there......... No a/c.. I'll eventually insulate the attic and/or get a portable a/c floor unit.....

[hemi68charger]

Here's some decking I did yesterday... The attic length is over 60 ft. long.. The decking can go to either side of the attic floor 2x4's. So, as you can see, plenty of space..... I'll put some shelves up to.. I'll have dedicated areas for Holiday decorations....

Me too!

Looks good in there, Troy.
I'm definitely dreading the day I move from my house...I've got 9 years worth of accumulation do deal with so far. Last move, the garage & assorted crap was definitely the hardest part.

[hemigeno]

Troy!

Glad to see you're settling into the new place.  Long time coming, just like a few other things you've waited around a long time for.

The garage looks awesome (oh yeah, the house too    ).  It's also good to hear the '68 is coming home soon.

Geno

P.S.  Do you need a campaign manager??

Sure,, your truck would make for a great campaign platform for speeches and hand-waving....... lol.......  Mopower to the People !!!

[69_500]

Troy for pres in 2020.


That gives you 12 years of local office before you go big time.



I wish my attic had that much room in it. Seems they didn't even think about putting any decking down when the built the house I live in.

[472 R/T SE]

Oh great, another politician from Texas.   

What a spread    That's a half mill up here easy, prolly more.  Your home and garage most likely have more square footage than our whole lot.  It looks like you have room to grow on the side of the garage, also looks like you'll be needing a riding lawn mower.  You couldn't have picked a better time of the year to be up in the attic.  It's been so long since I've been up in mine I forget what's even up there.

Congrats man.  I know it was a pain in the arse at times but definitely looks worth it.   

[PocketThunder]

  It's been so long since I've been up in mine I forget what's even up there.

Clark W. Griswold comes to mind..

[69_500]

Yeah but once he got up there, he was stuck.

Somehow I can picture this: Flatdeck truck, jug band, and a little fellow with a broom.
Vote for Homer Stokes!
