Whatcha mean too much?  I'll bet we haven't even started.  Wait until
we tell you how to make shelves that hang from the rafters, and talk
about the air lines that outa be run around the walls with air chucks
every few feet.  And then there's the shelves along the side with a
tire rack on top ...

Not funny.  Go to a body shop and see how they use them!  Have you ever
wanted to bend something UP on a car?  Unless you can hold the car down,
raising it with a jack does no good.  What if you need to use a come along
to drag an unwilling hunk of auto into the garage ...  you hook a come-along
onto something toward the back wall, right?  Let's see, what's solid back
toward the back wall?  Nothing?  Oops.  Pull up a chain and hook on!
If you do this before you pour the floor, they cost almost nothing.

I was looking at compressor prices this afternoon.  When you are talking
several horsepower, you don't want anything except 220V.  Or 240, whatever.

Smile when you explain it to her  :-)
