We make do with what we have. My first house was a small Cape Cod on a 50x100 lot (no garage, just a 1-car driveway) I bought in 1983. I built my first engine, a mostly-stock 383, in the kitchen, then had three buddies from work come over with a length of four-by-four and a chain, and we carried it out to the driveway and set it in front of the car... rented a cherry picker to put it in.
