Here's my old one after a tree fell on it in March. It was 12x20feet.
 

 
 
And here's my new one, in progress... it is 20x24 feet. 
 

Sometimes it sux when things happen, but thankfully the insurance is taking care of most of it and youll have an awesome new place shortly by the pics.

You know you're a detailer when your wife complains that she never sees you because you're always in the garage shining something!  

You keep polishing a defect in the paint when you finally realize its a shadow from a tree.

Yes, the one to the left is a beast... it's a huge white oak, estimated to be about 150 years old. Thankfully it's in great health as it's about 15 feet from my house. We keep a close eye on it and get it trimmed out as needed. In fact, the big oak prevented the falling tree from taking out our porch, too. 
 
And fortunately there wasn't anything too valuable in the garage when the tree hit. It crushed a little sailing dinghy I had in there, but insurance covered the boat and a good portion of the rebuilding.

Divorced, restoring an old house, built a boat, remarried, got a dog, tying to travel a bit more... Life's just been getting in the way of my old detailing obsession!
 
 

The biggest "don't".  DON'T let your wife see the bill! 

Don't disassemble your instrument cluster to repair the heater controls, then reassemble with your Adams flashlight still inside.

I could not find a way to mark the previous post as a 😢 about the tree, yet a 😁about the new garage, so I'm posting this reply instead.

Sounds like you're doing great.  If you're ever up at Grabiaks or at Carlisle, look me up!!!  Been a long time.

Here's mine!

I thought I would come back and up the quality of the "Rich" moderators. 😁

Just picked up this red beast on Saturday. It’s gonna need the works, looks like the dealership washed it with sandpaper.
