Hoarding instinct present and accounted for, sir!

You forgot to mention bicycles & boats though. (I'm an equal opportunity acquirer of transportation items.)

But I make a genuine effort to keep it in check, and so far it has applied only to bicycles.

Mostly because the rule is: if I can't store it inside the garage, I can't have it. Bikes are a little easier to find a spot for

3. Are your projects and garage organized or scattered?
Both, at varying times. But mostly scattered lately. Messy garage is the sign of a creative mind, or something. Or a lack of discipline. Or something.

4. Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of things needing fixed? Or are the projects something you look forward to working on?
All of the above.

5. Once you complete a project do you look to get another shortly after completion? Or drive and use the completed project for a while before moving on to the next?
What is this "completed project" of which you speak?
