your shop set-up
Thought it would be a nice idea to see what the rest of you guys are using for shops, is it your own warehouse, or a self storage or your garage.
We have seen what peoples vans and trucks look like, so now lets see some photos of your shops.
Mine at the moment is still half my garage, which has gotton too small.

Rick,
yeah, there bags of 226
over the other side under the roll of pvc liner i keep 10 - 20 bags of ditra-set for setting on kerdi and ditra.
I usually keep a stock of ditra-set and hydroments single-flex and some laticretes 255 in stock at all time and usually some bagged mud if its just for shower pans
detroitMi,
give us a first name to call you, and are you based in Detroit.

Steve,
Do you just roll off kerdi/ditra at the amount you need for a job? I have thought about doing that but always figure I would end up short or have an extra few feet that I had to deal with. I just have been throwing the whole roll in the truck which is only bothersome on those 35sqft bathrooms.
Anyone worry about their stuff getting too cold in the garage? I keep thinking I should bring in my buckets of admix, sealer, caulk, mastic(it was free I have never bought any), etc. but the wife doesn't like that stuff in the livingroom.
