If I lived in this house I would do all my car work out in the driveway. I’m not sure what might use that door in the ceiling but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to find out.

That looks like a good place to work on the family car. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c648969cfb75cdf49058ac0c154f1383881fe4ca3d3b262c0804f439716a4769.jpg
You should see the rest of the house.

Stop! Escher time!
Anyone remember the game Road Blaster from the 80’s?

Volvo’s officially 90 years old today. One of few “birthdays” I manage to remember.

I am saddened but not surprised that the 66 GL did not make the cut for “90 Years of Refinement.”
Probably not an oversight. =8^)
I’m sure Van Doorne’s Aanhangwagen Fabriek will mention it in their 90 Years of Infinite
PossibilitiesGears video next year…Speaking of doors…. My father called me yesterday: “Your mother asked me to fix the side door on the garage. After 35 years it had rotted a little so I re-built it with super thick boards. It should last 100 years now (He’s 85). Problem is, it’s too heavy for me to hold and screw the hinges in.”
Me: “I’ll be right there.”
30 min later, looking at the door: “Dad, you’ve got the cars line up inside the garage completely blocking this door. You go in and out through the regular door over there and the cars go in and out through the big overhead door in the front, right?”
Dad: “Yes.”
Me: “Why even have this door? Why not nail up some plywood and siding, and call it a day. You don’t even have the ramp that used to lead up to this door. Now it’s just an awkward step right into the flower bed.”
Dad: “Joan (her real name)! Tiberius (not my real name) said I don’t even need a door here.”
Me, realizing what I’d done: “Bye!”
Every garage needs an overhead door.
If you can think of a more convenient way to load and unload an R4 van, I’d like to hear it.

Ah, but is the door on the roof?
Or is there merely a roll-up entrance to the pit in the floor?
