Things You’d Find in Your Grandpa’s Garage
Just
reading
that
headline
might
have
made
you
a
little
nervous—because
the
#1
rule
of
Grandpa’s
garage was…
… never
go in
Grandpa’s
garage.
There
was
definitely
a
mystique
about
it,
this
home
away
from
home
for
Grandma’s
favorite
man
(except
for
maybe
the
very
charming
milkman)—long
before
the
concept
of
man
caves
even
existed.

Tetanus
was
a
sure
bet
in
Grandpa’s
garage,
as
was
a
long-expired
calendar
featuring
a
very
pretty
lady
who
gave
you “funny
feelings.”
It
was
made
pretty
clear that
everything
in
Grandpa’s
garage
would
either
kill
you
or
maim
you
in
some
form
or
other.

Things
That
Scream ‘Grandma’s
House’
Everything
that
was
sharp/rusty,
flammable,
generally
distasteful
or bad
for
you
in
any
way
(and
banned
by
mom
at
home)
was
readily
available just
by
stepping inside.

Grandpa
also
had
his
projects. One
of
the projects
you’d
find
in
his
garage was
your
late
Uncle
Jerry’s
car
which
Grandpa
was
certain
he
could
get
running
if “only
everyone
would
stop
borrowing
his
tools.”

22
Classic
Essentials
Everyone
knew
the
car
was
never
leaving
the
garage
but
Grandpy
sure
did
have
a
good
time
telling
his
buddies
from
the
neighborhood
about
the
places
he’d
go
(without
Grandma)
once
he finally
had
it
up
and
running.

Things
You’d
Find
in
Your
Grandpa’s
Garage
Adventures
were
plentiful
in
the
domain
of
your
family’s
patriarch
who
saw
no
use
for
rules
–
unless
he
was
the
one
making
them.
From
rusty
tools
to
a
stack
of
filthy
magazines,
Grandpa’s
garage
was
a
land
of
mystery
and
danger.
