Old Racer,

Yes putting the Air compressor outside sure makes it much easier to here the radio when inside.

Great looking shop.. I'm in the middle of adding 36' x 30' onto it.

I just finished adding on to mine and it is already completely filled with crap.
Are you adding on to the side, or making it longer?

I'm making it longer. No room on the sides as one side is 10' from property line and other side is 15' from garage.

I'll chime on here, by garage is a mess right now, we have our house up for sale so the garage became a dumping ground.
I do have a large stainless steel sink, full size fridge and a couple of cabinets in there that you can't see in the third bay.

OP, Paint it NOW, once you move back in, you will NEVER move everything out again to finish it.
Trust me, It's been 11 years now and I can't remove everything from this garage anymore.

If we don't sell, I am building a big shed in the back yard to move all the non-car related stuff out. I'm drowning in here.

One of these days I will have a real "detached" garage but for now I have this. I have a 71 that is up next to bat for restoration.

Some really nice garages there guys!

I'm jealous of any garage with a lift. Might have to put one in someday.

Here's mine.





















And here's my detached one car.

Wow! You should definitely put one in there(lift)
I honestly don't know why I waited so long, I am thinking about getting a third one! This picture shows part of both lifts.
One is a 10,000 and the other is a 20,000 that is 14' tall







It's organized too! Lol




















And here's my detached one car.

Hey Ken, the mirror is a nice touch so she can admire herself when shes at home! I put a ban on any house hold/Kid related items in my garage ... but something always tries to find its way out.
BIG SHED SOLVES ALL.

My 4 post cost me just under 4K installed, bolted to the ground with a $600 rolling jack and drip pans included, this also included having my garage door raised and converted to torsion spring to bring it within 6" of the ceiling. I have about 10" ceiling and I could stack 2 convertible mustangs (certainly any vettes) easily. Best thing I ever did.

Yes I agree with you. I'm going to paint it while it's empty, it probably won't be empty again until we move.

This is 30x40 and way too small. Insulated with heat. Someday I will get the A/C hooked up.

That's a nice setup, plus it doubles your parking spaces.

How long do you think it will take, mine was done over a 9 month period with me and my sons doing most of the work, plus we started in October, and had a hard winter to deal with. We started in October 2016 which turned out to be the wettest month ever recorded here 11" of rain in 25 days
Rebar through the post with a good amount of concrete under it so they won't sink
Posts in
Top soil out and gsb moved in and compacted
Things are getting serious now
Half inch rebar tied in 2' grids
My trusty helpers
We poured it 7" thick
I had to hire a crew on pour day
We had a 12 hour window without rain
All finished, just give it a few more hours without rain
Framing in the rain
Roofing in the rain
Don't slip
Still pouring rain
Ahh we are dried in sort of
