I always thought it was somewhat disgusting to see an open garage with
no workbench or tools of any kind in it. Just space for CARS! How
productive or creative can this person be? What are they going to do when
they retire? What skills are they teaching their kids?
When I was young, a garage full of tools and such was like a beacon in
the night. Had to look, ask questions, wanted to get to know the person and
try to learn. Nowadays, kids couldn't care less.
I have noticed that the more expensive the neighborhood, the less garage
creativity is visible.

It has always concerned me when the young amoung us are not taugh basic
skills such as how to change a tire, how to use a saw, how to...well
you get the idea...there are basic skills that one needs to deal with
the world we live in. Well this article shows what that lack of
training, due to whatever reason, means as they get older.
When I drive through a neighborhood, it is a rare garage that has
anything like a workshop within it anymore....a reflection of the lack
of interest or knowledge of the homeowner to work with their hands?
Do your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, the generation who
is succeeding us, have the basic skills that are needed in the world
today?
