Odd that no one has mentioned a fridge for beer ?
I've got no room for that, either.
With all the bikes, benches, shelving, and tools in the garage
there is NOT even enough room for a microwave !
Guess I'll continue to use the ones that are already in the house ...
But then, there's the
two bikes that are
IN the house, too:

Guy, In any material that expands when heated, a hole in that material will expand as if it (the hole) was made of the same material.

That is my experience with heating hubs to remove bearings, yes.
Albeit, threaded parts are a somewhat different can o' worms.
But then, I have not met that spigot that would not succumb to heat, torque, and persistence.
I
will, however, suggest that "persistence" may be a key element,
and that the three combined will certainly effect a result more quickly than theoretical debate.

I have always thought a 3 bay single bed garage with dinette and lave would be the perfect abode.

My shed, September 2004. I was recuperating from surgery following a bike/cow incident.
There's a fridge, stove and sink in the corner alcove. I recall waking from codeine dreams to find various groups of friends partying. The shed is a filthy cluttered shit-hole at the moment, but it's on The List.

Pretty impressive shed Airbear! Here I've been talking concept and you're showing stuff. Even if a smite grudgingly, I gotta admire somebody who has actually walked the walk (or perhaps more accurately drank the beer, smoked the weed, and laid on the bed).

Thank you Ken, for that particle of appreciation.
This is an interesting and enjoyable thread, but I'm wondering how Rapid Dog is going with his intake port.

He fell asleep on the bed in his shop, beer in hand.
