The LazyAssGeek’s

This is an overdue public thanks to my good friend Andy who decided to take my disaster of a garage on his shoulders. He & Biggi have been staying at my house a lot over the summer while he’s been trying to do 2 jobs at once in 2 different states.  It has been great having them here and the summer has been a blast.

They both are smokers and as I’m not, smoking is a no-no in my house, so when Mother Nature is dumping rain on us they are forced into my garage for their fix. I am somewhat more…. relaxed than they are regarding clutter.  I can’t stand dirty, but clutter?  No problem for me, but for them….. So standing in my garage this summer has been slow torture. I also know that doing something as a thank you for all the time they’ve spent at my house factors in there somewhere, regardless of the fact that to my mind it’s not necessary.  However if I were in their shoes even knowing that they would feel the same way, I’d feel like I needed to do something as well so there’s only so much I can argue it. Now that I’ve finished typing myself into that corner, onto the details…

Pictures being worth more words than even I can manage… the before.

The Disaster that Was

Andy spent the better part of 2 days working in there.  Tons of crap thrown away, a couple of trips to the hardware store and Wal-Mart for organizing supplies, a lot of sweat and more than a few beers later…

Overhauled!

It’s hard to really capture in pics just how big the difference is because you can’t get the full perspective. Won’t stop me from posting them, of course.

After, the Lift Side

Taking in the complete project on Sunday, I remembered I had a couple of posters/decals that would now look good in there, so we had to hang them.  And after all, what post of mine would be complete without a couple of gratuitous shots of the Vettes?

Check Out the C6 Banner on the Far Wall

Some Might Think it's Sacrilege to Hang a NASCAR Banner There

To answer the question you have in your head, yes it does still look like that and I’ve even done an oil change and a stereo project!  Honestly I’m afraid Andy will kick my ass if I let it get messy at all, so I put everything away now when I’m finished.

So thank you my friend, you did an amazing job. That it was above and beyond I have absolutely no doubt and that it was as appreciated as it was over the top YOU should not doubt.
