Nice shops and rides everyone. Here is mine. 30x40 built back in 2015 and sad to say, still not totally done. It gets to a certain point and working IN the shop takes precedent over working ON the shop.
Little blue car is for sale so I will open up some floor space when it is gone. |

Re: Lets see your garage
Here's my tiny 17x20 I think I win so far for smallest space besides those without a space at all! It ain't much but its heated and I can work in a comfy 70 degree garage when its 0 outside so I will take it. Many of my hand tools are laid out on the bench currently awaiting a new toolbox after selling my other one due to being out of space.
http://i.imgur.com/ehA04N1h.jpg I have a miter station with a bunch of built in storage below to the left in the first picture as well. I had set up the space for woodworking until I got the 63 now its just a cluttered mess until I find some time to get it organized again. http://i.imgur.com/lOMMUUkh.jpg |

Might be hard to believe but my shop still looks the same as it did back in 2017..... And still the same stuff except now when you open the door all you see is the back of a '34 Ford Coupe (I sold the 4x4)....:lol: LockDoc |
Re: Lets see your garage
I can finally play... well almost. 28x52 with 10x48-ish upstairs storage.

Re: Lets see your garage
Yep, spills and in SC we have red clay. If it rains hard enough, even with a good stand of grass, the bottom of your siding can get stained red/orange.
I actually wish I had gone up one more row. My house/attached garage have a brick crawl space/stem wall. |

Nice to have that rear door. That'll be handy. I hate that dirt splash on new construction. A weird peeve of mine. I spread straw. You just need to get something growing there. and nice shop!
Hey Wun Ton, you're not far from me. Might be small but beats a blank. Gotta do what you can. I'm jealous of these huge shops, but honestly, I don't want so much open air. I'll have a high spot for a lift, but the rest of the ceiling with be only as high as it needs to be. I also hope my next place will have room for a parking garage and a work shop. I also want a machine shed for the junk and a storage building. I have a plan for the next place! I just built something smaller and am very excited to have it. Only 12'w x 20' deep. Just enough to tuck my K2500 under there. I wanted bigger but decided on this to at least have something, I won't be here long enough to build a shop, and the small building will add value to the buyer. Sometimes the huge shop/small house is a negative. Not for me, but the general market. You can overbuild a property. I built this thing to compliment the vibe of the old house the same as Jesse built his to go with his house, and suits the neighborhood better. This is the only picture I have until I can figure out how to get pictures onto my new computer. It was going to be "at least a carport". But so far I have finished the front out for a 9' wide door and finished out a wall with windows facing my yard (and the wind). I completed this side, trimmed, and painted it. That's all till next year. The open side gets the afternoon sun. |

Funny you should mention resale... my neighbor across the street has their house up for sale. They only bought it 3 years ago and I think they paid top dollar for it. Will be interesting to see how quickly it sells with my huge mess right across the street. Homes in my immediate area are selling in days/weeks still (top school district helps). |

I know what you mean about musical cars. I'm down to 8 vehicles at the moment. And it's a pain when you want to get the last in line out (which is my motorhome) We took it out last weekend and I had to move all of the others out to the street. My wife said it looked like we were having a party. Then I had to put them all back. :( It took me about an hour, but that includes having a beer and shooting the breeze with my neighbor. |
Re: Lets see your garage
I helped a friend build a big steel clad pole bldg. shop by his house that is in a small town. It's not exactly a hot real estate market where he is located, modest cost homes. He was upset when he went for an equity loan to pay off the bldg. expenses with they valued the place the same as a few years before. He had also built a new front porch and added solar panels on a new roof since. He should have looked into the loan first. I guess he used credit cards. He has a nice shop, but it's bigger than the house. Makes the house look small.

Re: Lets see your garage
The wife and I have been very diligent over the past 10 years paying the house off, we're down to about 4.5 years left. After appraisal we had something like 210K in equity because the value has gone up 85K since we bought it. I took out a 25K HELOC with 15K advance. I paid the first 30K of the build in cash. Been saving for quite a while. I hope to get out of it around 60K, fully finished with the lift. If I go a little over, no biggie. I just ordered the shingles, siding, and remaining sheeting from the place I used when I redid the house. Into it for 35K-ish so far. I have quotes for the doors ($$ because they're 10x10) and electric, after that all I have left to buy is sheetrock, insulation, and the lift... and get it all installed. Fun...

The plan is for the two mustangs to take refuge in the 22x24 attached garage, with all the crap out of there they should both easily fit. The Bird, C10 tractor and silverado will all fit in the new garage with room to blow one of them completely apart. The bird will be first up. |

Bought my house specifically for the garage. It’s hard to get a decent sized shop in the city limits, and I’m not willing to move to an acreage just yet. Maybe when the kids are older.
It’s 38’ x 26’ with a 9’ x 34’ car port on the back. The only real crappy part about it is that I have to keep the heat at about 7degrees all winter as it has a a bathroom and thus running water. For some reason when they built the garage, they put the water meter in there. So i cant even drain the system in the winter. Just means I have work in there with regularity or else I’m just throwing money away. |

Re: Lets see your garage
Black Sheep. I think you need to clean your garage. I think I see a speck of dust in there. :lol:

Re: Lets see your garage
That's awesome Tim!
My earthwork, foundation, floor, block, and driveway is where most of the $ went. 30 truckloads of dirt were removed, we cut 5' out of the adjacent hill. Floor is 5" thick and we added footers for the lift. Ended up around 17K. Black sheep, that's what I'm going for! I'm planning on an Orange/White/Blue paint scheme. Mine will probably only ever be that clean the day it's done. |

Shortly after the build was done I had concrete poured. Before and after.

After the concrete cured I picked up a lift from advantage lift in Pa. Fairly easy to assemble.

Here is a night pic of my 25' x 40'. Need tall ceilings for a lift and mine is 13 ft. It also has central heat & air and surround sound stereo system. A soundproof room for the 80-gal air compressor. I can park 4 cars, three on the floor and one in the air.

Kinda funny. Go check out my post (#82 in this thread) back in late 2019 and now a recent one. Same truck, only on the road now and a new project beside it.

This is my 35x52 shop that I built in late 2019. We did most of the work ourselves. I am in the process of finally getting my bathroom finished. Been a long term project. Next is ceiling and central air. Already out of room!
