Thanks for the replies so far guys. As I'm looking, I'm finding a decent amount of stuff in my price range that is 1-2 acres with a mobile home currently on the property. That should take care of the immediate needs of water, electricity, and gas (if appl). I am using my dad's garage as an...

Hey all, My house lease runs out this summer, and I'm thinking of buying an acre or two that I can build on. If I buy it now, my sister's family has a RV that I can use on the property while I build. Question is, what considerations do I need to think about if I plan on building a medium...

Wow, it's been awhile since I've been on the board. I am almost settled in to my new home, and can now start playing with the garage. I tried buying a piece of property behind my house to build a nice garage on, but since the owner won't budge on his asking price (three times the value of the...

I'm back, and in a new city with a new garage! I thought I'd just add on to my old thread instead of starting a newer one. I took a promotion with my work, moved from Jacksonville to Fort Myers, and found a house that is almost everything I want it to be (I couldn't find a decent 3 car garage...

Thanks! The plan was to also paint the garage, but recent developements might have me breaking up with the gf (i.e.-moving out of the house and buying a new house). I went and looked at a house with a MUCH bigger garage yesterday, and made sure that the workbench will fit with no problem...

The counter top came in, so here's an update:

If they weren't my girlfriend's parents washer and dryer, I would have done that already, but as it isn't technically my house (we rent), I can't :( .

Finally! The shot without the stang in the way! It's unfinished right now. I ordered my 11.5' countertop today, which should take around 3 weeks. While I wait, I'm going to finish the cabinets, paint the walls, ans sand and paint the baseboards. I'll keep posting as I go. Thanks for...

Updates! I was able to squeeze out enough $ for the rest of the cabinets, so all I have left to do is get a countertop, and my workbench is done! As soon as I have an extra hand around the house, I'll pull the stang out and get a nice shot of the whole thing. Right now, since the stang...

I really like the laxan idea - where do you get a piece that size? I might be looking for one soon to go over a counter top 11.5' long. William

I didn't have any time to pull the Mustang out, but here's the beginings of the workbench. (obviously, the 2x12s are just up temporarily). Next will be two 36" cabinet sections on the outside of the 18" sections. It's hard to see in the pics, but my rolling tool chest wheels in the middle...

I just think of the garage as another living room, with a mustang in it instead of a sofa.

I was thinking of painting the garage soon, and wanted to do something with some color (I hat anythin that looks ordinary). Looking at the paint dept.'s colr brochures, I thought, 'Why not paint te garage just as if it were a livin room, or kitchen?' I could go with some warmcolors, mabe a...

Well, the laundry situation does ****, I have to admit. My girlfriend and I rent the house from her parents, as neither of us (26 and 27 years old) can get a loan for what the house is worth. Since we aren't married (been together almost 3 years), I make sure that anything I do to the house...

I've got a '93 5.0 LX vert that's far from stock. I'll have newer, better pictures when she's pounding the asphalt again (hopefully next month).
