NOOOOOoooooooo!!! Don't tear that beautiful thing down!!! Use it as the main 'room' of your garage & add around it, keeping the barn theme. Tin roof, building painted barn red & a huge gasoline sign in the peak.....loft area is a great gameroom/ hangout/parts storage/woodworking area. Rip...

Just make sure you keep the power hooked up all during your rehab....I chose to set a new meter base so I can tear everything out (couldn''t do that without disconnecting the power to the fuse panel) but will need electricity while I'm rebuilding from scratch (this project is almost a gut &...

Think you're gonna be surprised about codes when you actually start work....I also am working on a project in rural (way rural) TN - back on the edge of Dale Hollow Lake real close to KY on a road that deadends into the lake where, back in the day before OSHA, a ferry was there to take your car...

Need an MG TC & a Y-Type Saloon to finish collection. I agree with the query....when is a 'garage' not a 'garage'? To me, that underground Bunker complex in Utah is not a qarage - it is an underground home addition with a 2-car garage over it! And, while interesting to look at, what he did...

Yeah, but, the guy who dies with the most toys wins!

Here ya go, E-tek...my lean-to: 1st, some construction photos: Back half that turned into a small drive-thru shop: Rear view of the little lean-to shop: Front 'carport' half: With face added: If you notice, as I was under construction, the rear half actually was a lean-to to my garage...

How did you do tose "Ghost" flames in the first pic?

I've got a whole bunch of extra Craftsman sockets - primarily standard but a few metric....I'll look.

We're about to finish the upstairs gameroom & the outdoor kitchen....then, I'll get everything cleaned up & take some new photos.

Man, if you're happy & have a plan - go for it....we'll all second guess you & ask stupid questions based on our experiences & current projects/problems that we're facing.....but, in the end we're all trying to build the best garage we can that fits our budgets & needs. Sometimes asking those...

Absolutely true about Tennessee rural areas! The old farmhouse I'm dealing with is in east Tennessee - the only codes I have to worry about are for the new septic system (the old one was built of concrete blocks from the 40's or 50's)...electricity is still hooked up to the house primarily to...

So, I'm in north Alabama & have the same question...'cept, my pipes exit the raised concrete block foundation of my house & run under the deck in plastic pipe about 24' to my garage.....full bath, upstairs kitchen, outside kitchen sink, & garage sink......how do I keep pipes from freezing? I...

Nice old garage, except..... I'd get rid of that 'old school fuse box' first thing! Hope that thing has grounding to every socket in the garage... We're in the process of determining what to do with my wife's old family home - it has the same fuse box & knob & tube wiring....no ground system...

Sam's Club has the same roll-out flooring online: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=142298

All my yard tools and lawnmowers are stored in a little shed I built onto the rear of my garage....& I don't have a family garage...nothing except my automotive stuff is allowed in my garage though I have given my wife part of the upstairs of the garage to store her stuff! I have a 20x20...

Super garage! Here's another option for garage door screens: http://freshairscreens.com/description.html

I got this one from Overhead Doors...whole thing rolls up around that shiny metal tube.

I need to update some things...been focusing on the upstairs gameroom/apartment, my solar heater project, and finishing/insulating the interior walls. If you think the outside is messy; heck, I can barely move around inside - every car is under cover to keep dust off & there's lumber & molding...

went from farm to New Orleans for a car show...got home y'day. Sorry for the mess...we're doing some serious construction around the shop....Lemme see if I can post photos:

Just what I like - rambling, wandering garages where each area has its own character!!
