The Key to a Happy Family 3

My wife doesn't ask too much of me, but when she does ask something I try to make it happen. There has been one request however that I just haven't been able to get done, at least not until now.  What was the request?  She simply wanted to be able to park her car in the garage. 

I always thought this "ask" was going a little too far. Aren't garages are for storing stuff such as fishing gear and crab pots?  Heck, we have a driveway for her car and part of it is covered.  What more could she ask for?

Well thanks to her frequent "requests" and my embarrassment from opening the garage in front of the neighbors, I decided to do something about it.

Against my better judgement, I took a trip to Lowe's and decided to buy some garage shelving and some hooks to hang things on.  You know, get things off the floor so she could, of all things, park her car in the garage. 

After about a year, I finally decided it was time to put those shelves together and hang the hooks that I had bought a Lowes.  I would've gotten to it sooner but I was fishing.  Anyway, with my 10 year old son Madden's help I was able to put together the shelves.  The hooks however proved to be a different story.  Sure, I hung a few but I also put a few holes in the wall to boot. You see, I am one of those guys that envisions himself as actually having the ability to do something with a tool, even though deep down inside I know better. 

Discouraged, I had to tell Sonya that here dream of parking in the garage on a cold winter night just wasn't possible.  The very next night when I returned form a day of fishing Sonya had a list of companies that will come out and organize your garage waiting for me.  Gotta love her persistence!

I went through the list and WAMO!!  I found the perfect solution.  The Man Garage,  that's right, The Man Garage.  What other company would know what a man needs from his garage.  I mean that's the only space we get in the house and now she wants to park her car in it.  I called Phil at The Man Garage and he came right out, asked some questions, took some measurements, and scheduled an install date.  Three weeks later, my wife can fit her car in the garage.  All is happy at the Tobeck house.

Hey Mason and Madden, you see this?  Let's make sure this is how it stays.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Mustad Hooks?   

Can't wait to splash these pots.
