Default Let's See Your Garage Photos II

I decided to become a supporting member today so I can now attach photos!!

It looks like it's been about 5 or 6 years since the last "garage photo" thread. Let's see what recent updates have been done to those old garages and perhaps in inside look at newer members' garages.

My wife refers to my garage as "the fortress of solitude" because I spend too much time out there. It's a 38x30, furnace, AC, floor drains, hot/cold water, sink, urinal and a lounge area. It's a working garage as I run a small engine repair business out of it, so it's a mess much of the time.

Who's next!

That's a great looking 'man cave' you got there. My garage is fairly tight at 14' x 40', but I can still do quite a bit in it.

However, I am looking to buy a warehouse and set up some car-related businesses (rentals, repairs, etc), so my next garage should be awesome.

There's danger lurking in this thread, as I know I'm gonna get a serious case of "garage envy" by subscribing, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Well its still a work in progress but as you can see it has come a long way in the past couple of years.
Before





Above the front section

What it looks like now, I have a few more of what it looks like now just have to find them.

Added some more

Not the best picture because it was mainly taken because we were able to set the camper up in the garage during the storm.

Btw that old buick isnt ours in the before pictures.

Nothing fancy, but it's functional. It's heated for the winter, no A/C needed for the summer (what there is of it in Washington), and I have a small mill to make parts for the Cobra.

Would I love a bigger garage? Hell yes, but this one works. Just need to move things around so I can fit the Corvette in here also. My wife is asking where her Infiniti will go.

You don't have to be a Supporting Member to post photos! I post them all the time and I haven't ever been a Supporting Member.

It's still a work in progress...a little at a time. And I have a small fridge, too.
It's 24'x36', two bay and a workshop area.
