Ever lost something big in your garage?

[Nick 13]

I know from posted pictures that most of you have much cleaner garages than I do but have you ever lost something big in a garage?

Thought today would be a good day to try mounting some wheel weights on the xi before the next snow hits. But instead I just spent an hour looking around with a flashlight and still couldnt find four 50 pound wheel weights. If it wasnt cold and raining outside I would have started throwing things outside to look. I'm half temted to say someone stole them last fall but odds are I just walked past them over and over. Oh yea, I also let stray cats in the garage so you have to watch your step while looking around. :D

They're on the side by the hose under that old box with the bike on top.

Yeah, I searched high and low for things, only to find them (when I don't need them any more) in a place I put it so I wouldn't forget :P

Nick you might want to check with Dennis...I hear he kinda hordes them.

Never lost something that big...but have misplaced engine & PTO parts.

I did have a Bolens here in the stable for awhile...glad I lost that.

No cats here though....my horses eat them...well atleast my mighty mac shredder does. ....kidding

yep, that says it all. i think my biggest promblem is something can sit in the same spot for years and then ill move it to a better location and then i can never find it again.

Nick, Still looking for a 5hp briggs engine for a buddy. Now of course its in the farm shop 40 x 80 that a small elephant could get lost in. Guess thats what happens when you have 30+ years of yeah might need that better find a spot for it. Don't feel bad about the Cats either. I've go tone in the shop here at the house. Now this morning about 530AM when I got home I was sencond thinking that as I contamplated the jokes the neighbors would make when the Ambulance came to take me away from the heart attack I was having when the cat jumped on my back on its way out of the shed because I startled it.

That is so true. I'm always putting things in places where I know I will find them when I need them. Then, later, when I do need tehm I can't remember where I put them.

Sun was out today so pulled the tractors out and looked for my weights another hour or so. Still didnt find the weights.. Got bored in the end and took some picture so I can start the topic: CRIBS garage addition. :P

no but i always need a part two weeks after i clean out the garge and make junkyard run

[Nick 13]

Thats why I hate to clean or at least throw anything good out. I know I had those weights out last time I cleaned. After a while I do have to throw a pile out so there is room to get around in the garage. Kind of funny, or strang, but when I build a project I look at each piece of steel and decide if that project deserves it. :D

My biggest problem I have is when I get a load gathered up and go to the "scrap yard" (it has to be JUNK or it doesn't ever leave here) I end up bringing about a half of a load of "new" stuff back home! I know it kind of defeats the purpose of cleaning up, but it also gives me a head-start for the next trip to the scrap yard. :P
