The frustration of other thing and my Garage.
My Garage, one huge mess.
- Even though it's a 5/6-car garage, I can just about fit 2 cars inside.
- I don't really have room to any projects, once the two cars are in.
- I want to start work on a habitat and truck, that's 7.5m x 2.5m, so completely impossible, currently.
In short: Too much going on. Need to concentrate on one or two things to get those finished, but as always with ADHD, having problems focusing on one task.. :-( Story of my life, I fear..

Ideas are finally taking shape!
A couple of important restrictions/requirements.
1. Garage height: 2.7m (2.55m at the door)
2. Garage length, max ~7.5m
3. Must be able to carry 2 adults and 2 dogs or 4 adults in a pinch.
4. Must not have a 'tilting cab'.
5. Toilet and shower must be of 'normal size'.
6. Ideally, a washing machine/dryer combo should fit.

Modifications:
1. Remove pump from front bumper and replace by a winch, should save ~30cm in length? Maybe even more2. Shorten cab by ~1m to create more space for the box.
3. Convert to 'singles' tires (https://rundhauber.eu/wielen-en-banden/ , https://rundhauber.eu/banden-4-de-finale/). Could be difficult, as the rundhauber has rims with 8 holes, rather than the more usual 10 holes at Mercedes. Would like 'sprengringfelgen' to enable easy removal of tires from wheels. Also the hutchinson runflat would be very cool: https://vrakking-tires.com/20-inch/913-1000vx20-jamak-wheel-8-holes-et-90.html and https://vrakking-tires.com/run-flat-protection/528-run-flat-system-3-pieces-hutchinson.html with beadlock protection https://vrakking-tires.com/run-flat-protection/621-711-beadlock-tire-protection.html#/21-quality-new (enabling you to run lower pressures, down to 0 bar?)
