Gentlemen,
The day is slowly approaching when I will be evicted from my boatshop...... I mean garage, the 17' solid spar I made for the mast for the Spindrift and store on top of the garage door tracks was apparently the straw that broke the wife's patience, well that and the year it took me to build it; Oh and the fact that she recently found the plans for the 18' skiff that my brother and I plan on building this fall- to which she said "oh hell no, no more boats in her garage". She wants her storage space back for bins of useless stuff like various seasonal decorations and all the other female "stuff". I have pretty much taken it all at this point, workbench and tools, boat, and all the other stuff have engulfed the whole space, she was not satisfied with the shelving that I made for her, I admit its 8' off the ground and you need a ladder to retrieve that bin that says "scrap-booking supplies" that she uses never. After 19 years she has put up with a lot from me and I love her, so I am in search of a portable garage thing with a tarp cover that I can put on the side yard to house the next and current boat, I have successfully negotiated the rights to half of the garage to retain all my woodworking tools as they make money for me, when I am not offshore. My plan is do work in the garage and assembly/storage in the shed.
Anybody doing the same? What brand to you recommend? there seem to be endless choices. I am in Florida and while I dont need snow load protection, I do need sides and a front and back to keep rain out and the ability to roll up the sides for ventilation to avoid dying in there from the heat while working on the boat.
