Put an application in for her over at Texas Instruments Steve  !!

Oh, I put her back to work after a short time off.  Was getting too expensive with her being bored and going shopping!

It should work, but be careful.  Don't be like me.  Be sure 5 times the space equals 5 times the work areas, NOT room for 5 times more bikes.

Sean, it's possible that you are my new hero :-). How 'bout a photo of the herd?
If you were to go back to the old "Let's see pictures of your shop" thread, there are some in there.  Unfortunately, I am a lot better at fixing bikes than these damn 'puters...so I have no way to upload current photos for now.

Hi Sean, try this, go to the other thread, go to the post with your pics, press reply, in the window that opens up you won't see the pics but you will see the web address for them, copy and paste that URL {web address for the pics} into your post here,  ;)

Hey Sean, try this: go to your old post, hit modify and then copy it, come back and paste it here.  That is your mission if you choose to accept...

Feeling a little sheepish at this point for having spawned this thread, but I forgot about that one!

Here's your post Sean. Looks like Garage of Xanadu to me! Taking it out of quotes so it doesn't get compressed, hope you don't mind.

here is all my junk(except for what is scattered about my residence)  The guys I share space with are constantly on my case about having too many bikes...bottom line is mine come and go much more rapidly than theirs...

Thanks Hops, I will get some current pics soon.  Those are from a couple years ago.

I'm might have to post a pic of my "tent" so you guys can be horrified. This winter a tree fell on it, crushing my bench into the ground, most tools were salvaged and the bikes were miraculously unharmed!

Do it! I had a friend that had a tent in his back yard, in Massachusetts. A BIG tent, holding maybe 16 bikes? More or less optimized to make them corrode, and turn to crap. No way yours could be worse.
