Re: Let me see your garage!!

Stages of my garage cleanliness.

These to pictures is from 2-3 years ago when I coated my garage floor.



This pic is from last summer before I brought my 71 GMC home from my father's house. I was making a 4th stall parking spot alongside my garage before the truck rebuild begins.


Here's how the garage appeared when I removed the engine and trans from the 71 GMC in the Fall of 2006.


Here's my storage spot for the truck



This is how the garage appears now - probably a 5 out of 10 for cleanliness. I have noticed that workbenches are used more for shelves than for actual workbenches.

Re: Let me see your garage!!

Here's my 40x60 shop with 14' sides - I'm very fortunate this was already in existence when we bought our home as my wife would have never gone for me building something like this!!

Re: Let me see your garage!!

Here are some pictures of the shop. Needs a garage sale big time .... I'll trip one time too often and then I'll get on the top of the sale. It has 220, heated slab floor, separate room for bead blasting, cleaning and painting parts. Will park 5 cars if I ever get rid of the stuff I don't use. In total about 1200 sq. feet.

esll.

Plan for the future is to store 3 cars and have a home entertainment theatre on the side that u see my truck on. So you rotate the cars/trucks they are the cheap seats to the drive in .... already wired ....

Re: Let me see your garage!!

Here’s mine, this is a picture I have of my truck getting degreased.
The view is quite nice up here. The garage is 23 X 40 (9 1/2 ft ceiling)with two 16X9 doors.
Inside is complete with coke machine (with beer), 27in TV, DVD, stereo. I’ll have to take a picture of the inside sometime. Also a picture of the 2 room dog house with the view of the Sandia Mountains. I got this rainbow one morning after a light rain.

Re: Let me see your garage!!

Here is a couple of pics of my shop and the projects that are cluttering it up. The shop is 30x40. Shop has a 10' foot ceiling, two 9' foot doors on the front and a 9' door on the back. It also has a water fountain, stereo, computer, and the best part is a Coke machine with beer in it! This is my home on the weekends.
