winter noodling

So winter's basically here now. No more mucking around outside with the Civic.

My heated workspace/garage... A.K.A. "The Shack" ...



... currently has a funny (and large) inward-opening door on the opposite side that restricts the length of vehicle I can get in.

I measured it last night, and the Civic will fit! Just over a foot to spare with room to swing the big door.

Once inside with the door closed, I'll have lots of room to play around...




OK, probably not THAT much room.
