ours is a bit different. not sure where the shop stops and the house starts.
my wife and I fixed up a 40's sinclair station that had been abandoned. it had 2 bays originally and we added on with living quarters in the back and a few out buildings for bodywork and metal fab. my girl is as project oriented as I am so this place suits us just fine.
our latest addition is elmer gantry... a hoist we scrapped from a semi truck dealership.

Sweet place! Any pics from inside?

thanks notch, here's a couple from inside. the part we live in is more like an efficiency apartment... small, cozy and easy to maintain.
everything was built from recycled materials. used blocks, old commercial doors and metal sash windows.

Big sometimes gets trumped by heat & being able to use the space!

Mines way bigger but I store a car in front of the bay door (too big to go
elsewhere...loft support post, hoist frame and what not in the way.
Plus, there is NO heat and the foundation wall leaks enough to
become a river (yes, really!). It's a rented warehouse so I'm stuck.

My friend, I surely envy yours over mine sometimes!

I'm grateful for mine cause I couldnt have one but I'll have more room when I get everything back organized :lol:

Some nice shops/garages in here!

Here's my first garage of my own, just finished building the house a couple months ago, so there is lot's of work left to do in the garage.

Outside view, 36x30 attached garage, 9x8 and 18x8 doors, 11' ceiling.

Garage table using a couple old tires, a 25" diameter piece of glass fits perfectly in the bead area of a 24" tire. I have an old bench seat I put on caster wheels at my parent's shop to go with it to make a hangout area in the garage.

And another piece of wall art, this was my take on the Japanese/Ricer "stickerbomb" fad, just without the ricer type stickers.

72blackbeauty and waldamajoe thanks for the complements
I got lucky when i got this, My father inlaw bought some land to subdivide and this happen to fall in the middle of a lot so he ask me if i wanted it for free if i removed it. So one of my sons and i took it apart in two weekends and numbered everything. The doors were on the end when i tore it down but on my property i wanted them on the side. I had gotten a quote to have someone install it, but for 5 grand i did it myself. and i mean myself, trusses and all. My boys always seem to be missing when i built it back. then only cost was concreat and gravel. So this is a 4 thousand dollar shop.

Here is a picture of my new 30x50 that we close on next Thursday. I'm pretty excited. All concrete, sheeted on the inside and previous owner said that it was well insulated. I'm going to have to update the lighting, right now its mostly using plug-in florescent lights.

Looks awesome! What size is the shop? Also what is the ceiling height? I like how all the structure is gray or silver instead of the maroon color you normally see. Did you paint them?

RidgeRaceCars, that bathroom reminds me of a buddy's old house. they had a black bathroom but all black. ceiling, walls, light switch, everything was black.

That Charger needs a Alternate Tinkering write up! :metal:
