Feels like stripping it down and building larger is going to be the way. I'd definitely love to build something huge and freestanding but there's just no space for anything on the lot, thus trying to keep it roughly within the existing footprint. It's not directly bordering any living area...

Well I do like that option!

Hello all, Edit to rewrite more succintly: I want to convert the unfinished room at the bottom left into a nice garage. I'll either maintain most of the current framing and keep it an oversized 1-car, or expand it out into the hill, at least across the existing stairs if not to full 2-car...

Consider my nose turned up. Here's a better idea: get involved! Volunteer for a local race team, make friends with a local hot rodder or vintage museum owner, take the stuff they want to get rid of and actually have a story for your garage decor instead of a bunch of stuff that is the only...

The post-move-in disaster as it stands today. I'm working on down-sizing as well so a lot of junk will be gone but this is approximately the scale of the challenge.

So living in California now I rent and owning a place of my own is many years away, or never. Now in a new place I want to start putting together a garage organization system that is worthy of the vehicles I'm fortunate to have to put in it, and the many projects I aspire to bring to fruition...
