Short update... Finished my work table last night and finally threw one of the bikes on it. I also put my hose reel back up and added some Gladiator rack to hang my motorcycle stands up. I do the same thing in my enclosed trailer when I head to the track. The bike is finally starting...

Still coming along, I decided to go with stainless steel top on the workbench and waiting to get that bent up. You guys talked me into a solid worktable that I'm finishing up now to get some height to my bikes. My race bodywork just came back from the painter so I've been working on putting...

Motorcycle Work Stand This is the one I'm considering. All slip fit joints so you can take it down when you don't need it.

I saw that! I was trying to show someone else and before the picture came up I saw the heading and said "Oh someone else has a small motorcycle garage too" then said "Wait a minute, that's mine!" No new pictures yet but I finished the trim around the door tonight, still needs painted. Finished...

Why do you think I put in a window? :D Window Unit A/C for the really hot days!

Plans for one made from two sheets of plywood that breaks down flat when you're not using it since space is at a premium.

Wow...I appreciate that, means a lot. It makes me happy but there are way better garages on this site! No microwave, the house is only about 30 feet away. Fridge is for beers and sodas when the fellas and I are out smoking cigars on Thursday night boys night.

Still pretty far from done but you get the idea. Picked up a wi-fi range extender tonight to give me some more reliable Pandora reception. 32" Flat screen should be here tomorrow. I'm thinking of going with a steel top over the 2 sheets of 3/4" MDF as well. It's definitely come a long way!

Just spoke with an environmental engineer friend of mine the other day about this exact subject. Definitely depends on your state, in PA home heating oil tank removal is not a reportable tank (unless it's huge.) It can be removed by any excavator as long as its not leaking. If it's leaking...

VCT went down last night, cabinets and bench top going in today. Hopefully I'll soon be able to move stuff back in!

Since my space is small, no lift. After I finish this project I'm going to do a work table that collapses back flat that you can park full size bikes on. It's made from a couple sheets of plywood and slip fit joints.

Pretty self explanatory...just put down some 5mm Luan as an underlayment over OSB before putting down VCT. Do I need to primer the luan before I put down the VCT? I read somewhere that you should primer it so the adhesive doesn't soak all the way into the underlayment.

Drywall is done, sanded and painted. Underlayment went down tonight for VCT, hopefully this weekend. Still some outlets to install, cut in some in-wall speakers, and workbenches.

Where I live it's about 1% of estimated cost which I think is somewhat unfair. If I build a really expensive garage my permit costs more than a bare bones garage even if they're the same size. The local school district paid over $300,000 for permits on two elementary schools.

We have a guy locally that's a retired surveryor and goes by "Mr. PinFinder" He'll find pins on relatively small parcels for about $200.
