I prefer a minimalist approach. You’ll only fill a bigger space with more stuff. :ROFLMAO: There‘s a satisfaction of finding clever approaches to maximizing small spaces. that being said: that’s not a small space. Plans look amazing! @Craig. Wow! Great write up!

Most contractors I know would have totally ignored that note. Kudos to you for actually reading and following the structural drawings. As a structural engineer, I normally would work with the GC to find an alternate solution if the specified fastener was unavailable or excessively expensive...

What’s your goal with How tall are you and your wife? My wife came up with the brilliant idea of a double wide 4-post. Basically, my hobby car and entire workshop goes up into the attic when not in use, and wife can easily park her car with no obstructions. would fit nicely in line with...

I was curious, because I had forgotten, it seems like so long ago. $7500 CAD, in 2013 dollars. I cant imagine what it would be now. They don’t even list the price on the website anymore. “Please Contact” :ROFLMAO: The entire garage budget was less than realtor fees ;) And no, have not seen...

Update to the Mustang Cathedral: picked up a few pieces of metal working equipment. A little while ago I picked up a mini metal lathe. 7”x14”, with 4” chuck. It fits nicely on top of my bench cabinets. Then this week, I picked up this bad boy… I wanted a mini milling machine to go with...

Hahaha, same, mine came on a poorly wrapped wooden pallet. Love the jack, but had issues when I got it. The wheels were seized from the paint they applied. Took a lot of work to get them freed up so the jack would roll. And the foot pedal was broken. They replaced it no problem. But begs...

LOL, while I don’t disagree LX, wider is better… But the ramps are 18” wide…. And the tires are wider? That’s a big *** tire!

Or get narrower tires on that Porsche.

Oooo! I always like a good thread revival. I haven’t posted my 3-in-2 garage in this thread yet. it’s barely a 2-car garage at 19’x19’, but we manage to get all 3 vehicles in there. …and the 3rd vehicle that lives up in the attic space. I really need to clean the place up and get...

I’m jealous of the 3-car garage, let alone that new addition! Wow! That’s a lot of space. i like the vaulted ceiling ;)

^^^nice clean install!

That wall of speeders is amazing! Nice job snapmom i don’t have much on my walls except this so far got a few more works I want to put up, and I desperately want a clean print of the BFG poster “Class Dismissed” (anybody have one please PM me)

:oops: That’s a lot nicer barn than I’m used to seeing! wow! great collection of cars! Again..wow!

Not much progress lately in the garage. Basement reno got a slight change of use. My 4’x8’ shop never materialized and ended up more like a junk dumping ground. While researching VR goggles one day, my wife came across virtual racing and wondered why I wasn’t all in on this? No room was my...

Exactly what I was thinking! Looks like one of those posters with a million things going on. impressive.
