Before and after a few years

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Can almost get my 61 in after 4 years if i can keep the wife from filling it with crap from the house she doesn't want there

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Let's bring this back up for conversation

Re: Lets see your garage
 

was just in your town today, im in the western burbs but went to uncle johns flea market today and visited a old friend in hammond. used to work out there by webb ford like 5 years ago when i lived in lansing. they are building up that area so much since i left.

anyways back on track....


i really dont have many pictures but its nothing special. after buying the house in august of 2014 and winter fast approaching i could only afford a 22x24 garage. didnt even have electricity in it for a few months

later that year i think. it is still weird having to mow the driveway

its pretty loaded down with crap now but i can still fit a 52 and 86 one ton in it. i actually had to kick some yard equipment out of a 10x10shed to make some more room in this thing as i could barely work in it.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Crazy how I can barely get a truck in a 24x30. Too much crap, but I might need it!

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Here is mine and the wife's, right side is her barn 50X60 and left side is my shop 40X50.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

This is the only one I have at present, I had just got everything moved in and somewhat setup.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

HaHa , I've been there ,You could race go carts in your garage ! You've seen mine I can't park a go cart in it !

Re: Lets see your garage
 

See if I can remember how to do this. I built this in 2010 and never had a garage for the stepside. Once I get my living room done I will have a lot more room in the garage.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

I think we should start a thread about, "What is on your work bench"!

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Here's my before shot. The Jeep and Chevy live together in the garage during the winter for the most part. I do kick the Jeep out and put the cover on it when I'm working on the Chevy though.

Last year, I re-did the garage to give me a little more breathing room when both rigs are in it. It also made it nicer to work on either one since I actually gained quite a bit of room by losing my cabinets.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

I am loving the pics. We have started to clean our house out to get ready to sell. The problem is, my budget vs my wives budget. Not sure I will be able to get what I want. A pole barn with a lift. Will see what happens

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Freshly built , waiting for the "Mule" to come home :chevy:

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Got my little shop filled up already just need to get some work done now

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Here is my new garage. Full loft. Not finished yet. But getting there.
24x24
I have a small lot in my town. So I maximized space by going taller.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

1st pics are my house garage stuffed full of burbs (31x40), but most the work is done in my dad's (well, brother's now) shop (36x48).

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Now that’s just mean. Why do you have to come off like that? A little jealous right here. Looks great

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Here is my shop that my wife had built for me.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

My 32x30 shop with floor heat

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Nice! Electric radiant in-floor heat I assume. How does it do in our winters? Must be nice to stand on.

Re: Lets see your garage

Re: Lets see your garage
 

forgot to add this my shop is climate controlled also no matter how bad the weather gets its stays the same power bill is cheap too

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Yes it's just a 8 gallon hot water tank with a 3000 watt element . I keep it at 15 Celsius or 60 f. No problem keeping it warm even with minus 30 . It's quiet and comfy

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Sounds nice. Thanks for the info.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

I should have never opened this thread. Now I'm jellous. I have been trying to clean my garage for like 8 years now. lol. Everyone keeps telling me it's clean. I guess it is. I can get 3 cars in my 3 car garage. But great pics peeps.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Curious as to how many square feet you’re heating? Does it use a lot of power? Thanks

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Crappy cell phone pics.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

The alternative
Good cell phone
Crappy garage :)


Nice shop davischevy

Re: Lets see your garage
 

MIne is Sooooooooooooooooooo far from clean. Every time I thing I get someone close to clean, things start appearing or getting laid everywhere. I need to fix my habits I guess. :rolleyes:

Re: Lets see your garage
 

My shop has been ignored this winter, but my work truck is clean.

We have a guy that details these for $125 bucks.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

It's 30x32. 960 sq. ft. R25 wall insulation and r40 ceiling. Our power rates are reasonable here , so even if it ran 24 hours straight with the 3000 watt element you can figure how much a month. Mine might run 60-80 percent of the time depending on how cold it is. I think the biggest factor is how well it's insulated

Re: Lets see your garage
 

This is my 36'x48' we had built last winter

Re: Lets see your garage
 

I wish I could show you My garage but...not even a carport .

Re: Lets see your garage
 

I have a 2 car garage and a 3 car garage and I'm lucky if I can get one car into either of them. I'd be embarrassed to post pictures. I have a pool table in the 3 car. I haven't even seen it in 2 years.

Re: Lets see your garage
 

I cleaned up my garage yesterday. I filled my daughters S 10 bed up full of junk and trash to haul off today. I have room to walk all the way around both vehicles again.
Now I can start over collecting more crap.

I did find some things I had been searching for though for my daughter's 68 step side we are building.

If I had a shop the size of some here I would just be in heaven!:chevy:

Re: Lets see your garage
 

Yeah, there are garages and there are shops. I have had neither for a while now. Used to Rent a barn for a shop for many years, but the place got sold. I have no good place to locate anything decent here, so been waiting till the next place. But I couldn't take it any more. I had metal roofing, some posts, and all the rafter material to at least put up a carport for one truck, with very little material to buy. I threw up a 12' structure to put a truck under. I finished out the front to take a 7'H x 9'W door and closed in the side facing my back yard (and facing the NW wind). I might just leave the rest open. It's kind of nice having the sun come in. The lower winter afternoon sun beams right in there. It will be far nicer than out in the open as is.

New laptop, no pictures yet.
