Now that I've had 3 years or so in my shop, I'm seriously thinking about putting in a loft. It's amazing how quickly thing fill up! I've had this idea since the shop was built, and now I'm getting serious about figuring out what this will take. The shop is a pole barn, 36' wide by 40' deep with...

The last few years have been very crazy. Summer of 2015 My wife and I started looking at remodeling the kitchen in our house, and by the summer of 2016 we were in the middle of construction on a new house on a larger piece of land. 2017 was the year of the new shop! My main consideration for...

So back in 2012 I built the first Droobarn -- a 12'x20' shed/shop/barn to make my hobby/passion for old British cars functional. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159051 At the time I built what I could afford and what I figured I needed. I was only going to have one car...

The plans they were great, the plans they were grand, the funds they were missing... A couple months ago I was laid up with a broken ankle and discovered GJ -- many an evening was spent reading through build threads and dreaming of my ideal workspace. I even went as far as hobbling out to the...

The one advantage to my recent enforced down time (broken ankle) is that I've been spending a bunch of time here on GJ doing some planning for a detached garage build. I've had this project in mind since we bought the house 5 years ago, but have not had time/finances/resources to do anything...
