Mine is a 2-car with a workshop adjoining. I need to take some new pics, but here is phase one completed about 3 years ago...

I show my Vette with a "Dale earnhardt" theme and therefore my garage is full of Dale Earnhardt. The garage will be 10 years old in Sept. and still looks like the day we bought the house and had the floor laid.

Mine's still a blank slate. But I got the basics there to create something great in the near future.
Five car setup, attached to the house (three in front, two in back), with an extra cutout for the workbench/compressor. Professional grade epoxy floor. Wired for future lift. I've installed the ceiling fans (not pictures) and have a stack of flourescent lights waiting to get installed.
Front doors are each one foot taller for parking texas sized trucks and the single door is also 9 feet wide. Rear door is standard single sized door. Cheapest AC around. Pop the front and back and let the breeze flow through! Tracks will get raised when the lift goes in. Ceilings are 11 feet tall.

Question for all the Garage Mahals out there: How do you keep your garages so dang clean? My cars are always tracking in dirt, leaves, etc. Just wondering.

Bill, those are the first pics I've posted up of my new place. I'm in Katy near Katy High, but south of 10. That was what it looked like before I moved in. I just staged the Vette for some photos and had it parked way out of the way so the movers would steer clear of it.
At some point, I'll get it cleaned up and host a mod party over hear. You may have to bring your cooker and do the ribs though!!
Yeah, mine hasn't looked that nice since the floor went in the week after I closed. I've only been here a few months, and I'm not letting myself play outside in the garage until I finish basic unpacking/arranging in the house.
Here's a pic I took last week. Shows a lot of the mess. To my right are a ton of boxes and all the Christmas stuff that will ultimately get hauled up to the attic. I'm going to buy a shed at some point to get all the other stuff out of my garage!
What you can't see in that pic is all the dirt/mud. My neighborhood is still under construction, so under the BMW is litterally muddy tire tracks. I've swept some of the other parts a few times, but I'm going to have to break down and buy one of those janitor mops/yellow buckets at some point and learn how to use it.
The sign in the corner says Chris' Corvette Garage and Speed Shop - Go Fast or Go Home. It's also got an est 2009 since that is when the house was built. Got it off ebay. Nice wood sign with lettering on both sides. Very slick!

Here's mine. It's fairly simple - had the walls finished with drywall and applied the Rustoleum epoxy coating to the floor. Then added cable tv, computer, and artwork.

I make the most out of what I have right now. Sooner or later I'll get my dream playhouse:
It's a 28x28 garage, during the winter if I'm not working on a car I can put both of them + daily driver in like this. Right now I'm prepping one for the Texas Mile.

These threads depress me. I look at the awesome set ups and then at mine. What a mess
Best of luck with your new "Man Cave"
