Can't move for random parts you'll realistically never use dotted around the garage(s)

But then You'll only have to bring it back down again.

Haha very true..
I'm fairly lazy most of the time anyway, so the likelyhood of me moving parts up to the attic is slim I can always pretend to have the intention to do so though
