Beautiful write-up. If only I could follow the footsteps.
Anyway, I've gotta say, I have a bit of garage envy. It looks so much better in-use than it does in post #3 on this site:
Garages at Night Thread - The Garage Journal Board. (I wasn't sure if that was the same Jack Olsen people talked about here when I saw the garage thread, but I guess it is.) For those who have not seen these garages... man; there is inspiration all 'round.
