Looks great! Small garages are all about organization, using every square inch you’ve got, and purging anything you don’t need. I could work on that last one.

Whoa - this is such an awesome space. I’d love to have a similar place here in Seattle. Will have to just settle for our micro garage for now! Rooftop decks are amazing uses of space, too. Aweome views. Replacing the roof membrane will be dreadful, though.

Love the Pie Factory build out. With city living, garage space is one of the biggest compromises for those of us with less than infinite money. An undersized garage, house, etc.. is a compromise worthwhile for someone that enjoys the other things that a city has to offer, but it totally makes...

I wouldn’t call mine “best” by any means, but it’s a one-car garage that fits our car, tools, and everything else. It’s also about as small as a garage can be and still be classified as a garage, at 15’ 9” deep. A one-car garage can’t be everything, so it just requires prioritization to focus on...

Any updates from San Francisco? Such a cool collection of projects, from the garage itself, the house, and everything within it. Also curious about the roof tile installation. We have a PVC roof with a pretty good size open area (~450 sq. ft.), currently partially covered with a ~300 sq ft Trex...

Lived in a 20ish story building that had a grocery store at street level, with shopping carts available for tenants without wheel locks. Did my seasonal tire changes late at night using the shopping cart to lug the wheels, tires, and and tools from the 4th story storage unit down to our...

That totally looks like a Seattle perimeter house, and a 13,300 sq. ft. lot is nothing to sneeze at! As common as 2-plus car garages are outside of our part of thr PNW, I’m totally jealous of the 2-car garage, shop, and heck, even having a driveway. Good luck with the build!

The new prefix function will make finding “housebound” garages a lot easier. Feel free to add my tiny garage to the list: Seattle Townhouse Small Garage

Great use of your nooks and crannies. Especially the bike area... bikes take up an amazing amount of space for how small and light they are.

I've got about the same size garage footprint as you, albeit a bit wider and a bit shallower. I also keep a car in the garage. My strategy has been to keep stuff tight against the walls below head and have deep shelving overhead. Overhead shelving is typically used for stuff I don't need to...

No prob; it’s this one from HD - Hardwood Reflections Folding Work Bench There’s a lot I would have preferred to be doing during Seattle’s most gorgeous season, but the pandemic put a bit of a damper on that. Yeah, I’ll check out the flooring again this summer. Have some other projects in...

I’ve got a tiny garage by gj standards that I still use to park a vehicle. Not a woodworker by any means, just someone who likes doing simple DIY projects around the house. My strategy is keeping items below about 6’ close to the wall to maximize walking and flexible use space, and to have deep...

Thank you! There were only a few vehicles that fit the plug-in hybrid / maximum size / wagon matrix, and the A3 was the best fit. I still really like it, although may have been happier with 17” wheels over 18”. It’s definitely not a sports car so a little more sidewall would have been nice...

Made a few minor lighting updates recently. Decided to change out the standard decora switch with an auto-sensing switch becaise I was always fumbling yo find the switch in the dark when I pulled into the garage and the garage door opener’s light turned off before I remembered to turn on the...

Wow, I love your root cellar cabinet! Your potatoes will be happy once you have the drawer faces present to block out the light.
