Looks great Paul. Nothing better than a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless.

Good luck to you and Becky.

Nice home, nice clean garage, and nice Vette

By the way, my 30 year old home is also pre-wirelessed for wireless network 31 years ago.

If you got the cash...

I'd build a wall to isolate the 3rd (single) stall with its own door to the double side.. even an 6ft H x 8ft W viewing window...

-Low voltage spot lites on a track in the ceiling..
-Bench, Tools, Fridge (for beer), vacuum hanging on the wall
-42" Plasma

We have a 3 car garage... I plan to acid wash/stain the concrete and wall off the third stall just as I suggested.. I do not want to find out what kind of damage my 5 year old and 2 year old can do to a vehicle... not worried about the Z06, but in a couple years plan to buy a Gallardo Superleggra...

A skateboard to the door would not be pretty and I don't want to eat my own like lions do!

Congratulations, Paul.

I, too, can park 3 cars, but mine's a carport instead of a garage.

Hope everything works right for you to put everything you want in the garage.

Wow, things are coming along nicely, Paul. Any idea when you'll be moving in? (I have a specific reason for asking.)

That looks just the right size for the man cave, but where's the wife going to park?

Seriously, it looks like it's getting close to moving day. I know you must be looking forward to that.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and suggestions. Zymurgy, I loved the photos. Sorry I've been a little absent in my thread here for the last couple of days. Things have been pretty hectic here. We've been cleaning up around the new house and busy with the museum. Today the Caravans start arriving from around the country and it will really start getting busy. Hoping to see a few of you at the museum this week. I'll be working at the registration desk all day today for anyone arriving this afternoon, I hope to see you there.

The new home for you and the "red lion" looks great. As for suggestions for further improvement ........ I'd just make it the way you want it to be. Just like your car, make the garage reflect what you like, what you want and what you need to enjoy the space.

For starters, get it dirty! That place is way too clean to be a man cave!

I have 3 Car garage now. Wished I'd built a 6 Car Garage. Never big enough!

But still pretty cool though!

Enjoy,

Glad to hear your moving is finally coming along and you will be in BG soon. Thought I would see a drain in the floor for car washes, a pit for the oil changes and a 2 post lift. Better rip up the floor and start over!

Take care my friend and hope the move goes smooooooooooth!!

Thanks! There is a German company that produces these garage door wraps. They have a lot more, including some that can't be posted here. There is a US outfit that makes garage door wraps, but they are only producing Holiday themes.

Congrats Paul!

P.S. I'm still in Michigan. Had to pass on the caravan due to the economy. I'll look to hook up with you next year!
