My tiny piece heaven
04 Aug 2025 06:09 - 05 Aug 2025 19:52
I have some buddies that have garages or shops that are crazy nice. Me, I have a 12x16 shed i call my saki shed. Being retired now 3 years and seemingly beating prostate cancer i value my shop so much more. It's my space and I'm comfortable in it. The Mrs says how can you spend so much time in that shed,with those smells and all that. But then she sees the bikes that have come out of it and are now back on the road and some with new proud owners,she gets it.

My "man cave" has gone from a comfortable place to work on the bike and other things to a place of solitude and peace. If it weren't for it I would have run away from home 7 years ago. A few hours in there I'm reset and ready to deal with the conflicts which is daily life.

My man cave is bigger but without it I'm not sure if I would have survived ten years of prostate cancer treatments. It also kept my buddy from losing his marbles during COVID. He was here 2 or 3 days a week during that time.

I can relate
I had a 12x20 workshop built 5 years or so ago.
It doubles as my office, having a desk and more in there.
The house has three women, three grandkids, a dog and two cats.
My workshop has three motorcycles in it, so it's a little crouded, but it's my Santuary.

I also only have a 18x10 single garage so I have had to be creative to make everything fit. Luckily it has a steep apex roof so I have managed to install a "loft space" for storage and things like my bike lift, engine stand and engine lift can all be disassembled when not in use to free up space

Primary garage where the "stuff happens". Don't have anything dangling from the wall except this ole sign. I see you have a Miller one, gotta go neon with style, Old Style, ha. I do have a spider riddled wall of old shipping boxes though. Great to sort thru when one needs "just the right size".
