Yeah it’s no construction drawing by any means. Just a fun way for me to put my ideas down on “paper”. Realistically if I’m able given the confines of the property lines/setbacks I’ll design it to have the 15’x30’ as the finished inside dimensions. I’m tempted to try for 20x30. Just depends on...

Been tinkering with the idea of expanding the shop when we buy the house. Tinkered in sketchup and came up with this. Jut out in the corner where the tv is mounted will be a compressor room. This design is with the shop stretched to 15x30. But I wouldn’t mind squeezing a few more feet of width...

Tinkered in sketchup and came up with this. Jut out in the corner where the tv is mounted will be a compressor room. This design is with the shop stretched to 15x30. But I wouldn’t mind squeezing a few more feet of width out of it. I’d actually really like to get 20’ width but I think it’ll be a...

I’m working on drawing up my plans in sketchup and I’ll post them when they are finished. Even though it’ll probably be quite a few years before I’m able to do this it’ll be nice when it gets done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All depends on purpose and budget. I had to do mine cheap so I sourced a bunch of 2x6/2x8s from a buddy for free then only had to buy a box of screws and 4x4s for the legs. And it’s looking like I’ve lucked out as I might have found a 1/4” metal top for mine for Around $100. I was expecting a...

You can never have too much workbench. Heck part of me already wishes I would have built mine bigger lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the Ryobi impact and love it. Of course I’ve been using Ryobi since day one basically so I may have some bias built in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so here the setbacks are 5 feet. Walls are limited to 10’ high without having to get a special permission permit. Needs footings as i figured it would. And plans to get approved only need to be hand drawn. Apparently things are pretty easy down here. Went out and measured and I have just...

I’m waiting for a call back from the zoning guy at City hall to find out about the setbacks. I’m hoping I get lucky and have a few extra feet to play with. Then I could get my length from moving the back wall and not have to mess with the front wall with the garage door. Sent from my iPhone...

Nah we have a covered patio where the silver grill sits. The black one was a side of the road grab that ended up being junk so it got thrown away a while back. Old picture. If I’m able to widen the garage I plan on incorporating a compressor room in the front corner. Sent from my iPhone using...

That’s another route that Could work better for the roof. It’s all up in the air right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are the best pictures I have of it at the moment. Ignore the thrown together out of scrap chicken coop. I figured I could get the two new walls up and extend the two old walls that won’t be getting demo’d to meet the new ones. Tie in the roof structure to the new walls before I go about...

we only have 3 cars, the daily drivers and my foxbody. We have a two car attached so there’s no need to try and fit two in the ‘shop’ garage. And I’d almost rather keep the single sized door and have it offset so I can use what would be the extra square feet from widening it to hold my more...

So here what’s been going through my head lately. The house we are at right now is nearly perfect. All except for the fact that I wish my detached shop garage was bigger than 11x24. In fact I’d rather it be closer to to 15x30. I’m just not sure how much bigger I can go. Would it be worth it to...

I was planning on putting our 42" in the bedroom(since I finally found the remote lol) and taking the 32" out to the shop. But the wife thinks the 42" will be too bright in our room at night, so now even better I'll be putting the 42" in the shop and wall mounting it. I have some spare speakers...

Semi new guy here. Made a thread a few years back that’s dead now and I’ve since moved. Mostly lurked over the past few years. Have a new thread called small shop garage. Currently just have a small garage in my backyard for a shop. It houses my foxbody and it’s where i do my decorative...

Picked up a nice little early Christmas present to myself today. Should really help keep the mustang as out of the way as possible in my small shop. And yes, she needs a bath badly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We’re only renting this place so while I am trying to improve it I don’t want to dump a lot of time and money into it. And the ceiling is a bit short to rock anyways. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Solid core doors are no joke. Bought a couple to replace my moms box springs with to lower her bed. they are hefty so I’d imagine they’d work well. I’ve never seen the 2x4’s on edge style but also seems like it would work well. My new bench is framed/decked with 2x6/2x8s. It’s a little rough on...

I’m looking into painting my shop. It’s a one car garage that needs some help in the lighting department. I have some fluorescent fixtures that help but I think it needs paint. The ceiling is bare framing, The walls are split horizontally with the bottom half being Sheetrock and the top half...
