Australian Aaron Round wanted to be a barber but couldn’t afford the $14,000 AUD cost to complete a hairdressing course so he created a barbershop in his garage. He gives complete instructions on how to plan the space, obtain equipment and even how to set the mood with lighting and music. Not only does it look like a bona fide barbershop, Round suggests using bay rum, talcum powder, Old Spice, Barbicide, Como shave oil plus various sandalwood shave soaps, and menthol based creams such as Proraso to recreate that authentic barbershop smell. For now this shop caters strictly to Round’s family and friends and their donations go into his hairdressing tuition fund.

San Francisco’s planning commission is strict about changing the look of historic buildings. But a parking garage adds a LOT of value to a home in a city where there are very few places to park. Beausoleil Architects figured out a way to make everyone happy. Link -via The Daily What

This guy has a small car, for a good reason. The car is 1.49 meters wide. The garage is 1.55 meters wide. You don’t have to understand Flemish to know what this video is about. Note how he manages to get out of the car! -via Cynical-C
Forget a 3-car garage. The new status symbol for the haves in London is this £40,000 pop-up garage by Cardok:
The £40,000 parking spots can be hidden beneath a flowerbed, lawn, or even another parking space.
Owners simply press a button on a keyring to raise they car out of the ground much like the rocket launching apparatus in Thunderbirds.
There is already a four month waiting list to get the sci-fi style parking space installed and bosses of Cardok – the company behind the hydraulic platforms – say orders are pouring in faster than they can build them.
