Default What to do when you can't sleep...

So, I made the really bad mistake of having an energy drink at 12AM. Tried to sleep but I couldn't. So I did the next best thing and went to the garage. I started to clean the garage because it was so messy in there that I could barely park my car in. I was moving my stock engine block to the corner, and then A.D.D. kicked in....

BTW: My neighbors love me. Air compressor and impact gun at 3am


And the infamous Jeff's (GS) living room. It's "cleaner" now. You should of seen the stack of parts 2 weeks ago LOL!

No work today. I sometimes work on the car thru the entire night till the next day lol. It's more relaxing to work on the car at night, not to mention the temperature is a lot cooler. You can't beat the sound of dead silence of the night and then an impact gun going off at 3-4am

If you were my next door neighbor, you would probably have a fully built 600hp+ V8 GS monster by now. So I guess it wouldn't be such a bad thing lol.

I've never had a complaint from any of my neighbors before . I usually work with my garage door closed at night. That silences the noise down quite a bit. I even checked it for myself by running the compressor with the garage door closed and then running outside the garage. The resulting noise was just about the same as the AC compressor outside everyones houses. The impact gun, well I can't exactly test how loud that is without a helper heh. I use air grinders, dremels, and cutting tools as well sometimes.

When I see the neighbors outside, I usually ask them if I am disruptive at night. They say that they don't hear me working at night in the garage, so I guess I'm good to go
