Where do you pit at home
 
Our lass is doing her nut because ive got car bits everywhere :o and actually its getting on my nerves aswell because i can't find nothing.:D
so ive decided to do out the out house benches etc so i can put all my car gear in there, and it will be my escape room :o so is your lass/mam dad doing your head in about your gear, and where do you tinker with your cars ;)

Chrislong 11-01-2008 02:11 PM

My stuff is always left in its hauler bags, and cardboard boxes for the spares and bits which i don't take to the track. They're all left behind/under my bed.

When I need to work on my cars, I will lay a towel out in the kitchen and do it there. if its a long job, and it overflows to another day of work then I still put everything away but the half assembled car is left on a towel on the floor in the spare room.

Mike Hudson 11-01-2008 02:15 PM

I put a towel out in my room and do everthing there. I tidy most of my stuff away before i go to bed incase step on something sharp in the mourning...:D

Sounds a great idea! Bet there's atleast a radio in there too. Thats what id do if kitchen became an issue, one of those sheds with a sun-terrace and a rocking chair.

Southwell 11-01-2008 02:39 PM

Wouldn't it be better riding the R6, I would keep my bike in the hallway if it would fit. I have no missus to nag me, 'cept some blokes wife who comes round quite often, but she doesn't nag ;)

Alas, I have my spare room, a home made rack behind the door to keep the cars/trucks on, and a "desk" to work on, with drawers to keep stuff in, a halogen desk lamp (£4 from wilkinsons :D) and a lot of floor space.

tc2k 11-01-2008 05:52 PM

In the cupboard, dont even touch my stuff, too much effort.

RogerM 11-01-2008 06:36 PM

Where ever it gets put after a meeting lol!!

Most of it lives in the conservatory but I do all my work in the lounge .... well it's the only room with a plasma and cable ...

As for the other half she's a gem ... and the racing kit is the least of her worries!!!
She actually cleans my car if it's too muddy as a while back I absolutely wrecked the bathroom trying to get a Pred clean before it set to concrete, after that she figures it's better if she does it ... :)

ashleyb4 11-01-2008 07:06 PM

mole2k 11-01-2008 09:42 PM

I threw all the clothes out of the walk-in wardrobe onto the floor where i prefer them and converted the wardrobe to a little rc cupboard.

The entire wardrobe/room is full at the moment with models and various stuff though.

telboy 11-01-2008 09:52 PM

God,,,
everyone keep going on about getting away from 'er indoors. I can't!!

I only have the living room table to do any car work on, due to the shed being full of shells and paint.:) But even then, I can't get away from her cos she come out to moan about how long I'm spending in there!?:wtf:

Mind you, at the moment the whole house is full of bodyshells and she only moans a couple of times........per hour!
:D

But yes the dining table is my pit....and sometime she even lets me leave things out until the next morning.:) when its not being worked on it just sits under the stairs in hauler bag and polybutler.

strobe 11-01-2008 10:08 PM

I have put up a 10'x8' Shed at the back of the garage.
No room left in garage. 3 Quad bikes and a moto-x bike are kept in there.
Got kicked out of the house by the wife. Don't get nagged at any more.
The shed has a few creature comforts in there. TV, HI-FI and a Gas Heater. Have insulated the inside panels to keep the heat in. A bit chilly out there at the moment.
Do you think that wiring the TV to the Sky box in the house is going a bit OTT.

Andy Moore 12-01-2008 05:44 AM

At home? I just do it at work!

:p jk, although a lot of other wrenching goes on there.

daz 12-01-2008 08:02 AM

What you bunch of wimps need is sorting out!! Ive gone the other way and built the wife a little shed with no tv, radio or heating so SHE can do her ironing washing and stuff what woman do in there and leave me in peace. I let her out once in a while to vacuum the house and make me tea tho.

























ps best not let her see this she will probably kill me

Lee 12-01-2008 09:57 AM

class daz, i knew i could improve mine somehow!!:D

sim 12-01-2008 02:08 PM

Moved into a new house with an extra room seven months ago. I let my wife decide on the decor of the whole house but kept that 1 room for me to "decorate".
