Nice space! Looks like a rancher but for cars! Careful with the cardboard, fire is bad for fiberglass.

Very nice. How big is it. I thougt I would never run out of room when I built my 24x32 garage but then the wife started, can you put this in there just until I can go through it crap. You can see where I blacked out the crap in the garage.

nice garages guys
I wish mine was finished... the yard looks-like some sort of "nuclear mole" has been rooting around out there... my plumber has about 200' of 2' wide x 4'~5' deep trenches dug for utilities and etc., and the danged inspector didn't make it Friday, it's supposed to rain Monday, and now EVERYTHING ELSE (floors, drywall, etc.) has to be back-scheduled.. bummer

I like the way you've got everything up and out of the way fugawi.
looks like plenty of lighting and a very-thought~out floorplan, including the couch
bet there's a lotta monumental discussions held there

Our detached garage and house are just left and up from center in this aerial view of our property.

I overheard my wife giving directions to a delivery driver once. She told him, "The house is the smaller building on the left." (The garage is to the left of the house in this pic.)

I really can't complain...









I would have given a few toes for some solid walls and insulation!!!
I can only dream to have a garage like some of you guys.
Fugawi...when all said and done, what did that garage cost you? did you go any of the work yourself?
