nice garage, I'm jealous. It sure beats the crap out of my cramped one car garage. Good luck with your resto and post plenty of pics.

this garage was empty. we just moved from a house without a garage. my wife has lots of things in boxes. boxes for dishes, books, stuffed animals, the stuffed animals dishes and books, winter clothes, spring clothes, summer clothes, fall clothes, and a bunch of secret boxes. some of the boxes are soooo secret that they havent been opened since the last time we moved. those must be really important. maybe thats where she keeps the pu$$y.

Very nice garage, but be careful. My 30x40 garage was great when built, but some how it got crowded. Vette, motorcycle, truck and two cars have filled it up. Maybe it should have been 40x60.

That still isn't enough room. (ask me how I know!) If you build it, **it will come.

I did not want to start my frame up resto until I got my workshop finished.



After building mine, I am glad it is over. It was fun, but also a PITA!!!

I know how it feels. I started my frame off under my 12x14 deck closed in with wood


Then I built this and now it's too small.
