After reading your post, I am inclined to say the same My wife and I have an agreement: I do not turn into Fred Sanford, and she does not turn into Imelda Marcos.

Ridiculous, isn't it?! Unfortunately, you can't control the neighbor factor...which is the root problem in most folks' cases it seems. At least he is watering his lawn

I usually only have on project at a time and keep things pretty clean and picked up and have not had any trouble. I pulled an engine and wheeled it into my garage. Who could gripe about that.

But, I have stopped the idea of doing a frame off resto because I would have to have frame in driveway. And I don't want the hassle. So I'm kind of stopped before I even start on how I really approach my projects. Minimal body work and no painting.

I really want to get out of Calif.
I agree with you...but look at the bright side. If you are required to keep your stuff in the garage out of sight, that lessens the chance of something being stolen. And that is a problem that exists no matter where you live.

This is a good thread...lots of good posts and opinions. Common sense is on the comeback
