And... another year has come and gone. I've managed to get the little workshop area insulated and all electrical work done. Toy car is slowly coming along, should be rolling again in a month or so. Now that that is going well... We've decided to move. New house will have a three car...

....or a cheater pipe laying around? Much faster than cutting and welding.

Wife and kids are all napping...so off to the garage... Finally got the hose reel I got for Christmas up, mounted, and plumbed. Now just need to use it.

Looks like you have a better selection than my local HD. Intrigued, what do you do?

I used Rapid Air lines to connect the compressor. I'm real happy with how easily it all went together. No leaks and the flexible line weaved around the walls as advertised. I added an extra port to one block, but other than that no changes so far

It's been a little while...A one year old made my time in the garage come to a screeching halt. I got few pneumatic tools for Christmas. I couldn't find a rack for just deep sockets, so I made a little rack for them that fits nicely in the drawer.

thanks...had some #4 finish laying around so I went for the overkill. The nice finish won't last, had to get a picture while I had the chance. I couldn't find a rack to just hold deep sockets. Seemed like everything was deep and shallow combos.

Got a few air tools for Christmas and made myself a little rack for the sockets

I was in a similar situation when I was looking for a house. I ended up going with a detached garage that I could add a work shop area on the side of.

I've never had any luck trying to work on cars when you have two in a two car garage. Even with an 18' door, I back out one and park the other in the middle to work on it. And I'd definitely go for extra length. That'll give you some room to add storage and work bench areas

I'm going the metal route. Here is the small metal pegboard I made as a test. The pegboard is offset about 3/4" from the wall to allow for thin switches/outlets to fit in. Full size version will be 6'x3' to go along the back of my workbench.

Can you post a napkin sketch of what you had in mind? Would a roller track like this work? http://www.mcmaster.com/#door-track-hardware/=vzdv5d I'm not sure how well that would work going vertical, but you may be able to get a small piece and give it a shot.

Didn't get too much done this weekend... Finally got the tire rack installed and cleaned up the work top a little.

Mounted my tire rack.

I have this for my car- http://amzn.com/B00I608BJ8. It holds great in a moving car, should be perfect for your use. After seeing your post, I'll likely get another to use on my workbench as well

I was planning on the dryer exhaust vent method. Dryer vent in the wall, ducting, and an inline fan (http://t.homedepot.com/p/Suncourt-Corded-4-in-In-line-Duct-Fan-DB204-CRD/203227157/ or similar) to help pull fumes. This is just for a 600cc bike exhaust, so probably the low end of what you...

Having to use the jack after all of that took a lot away. It would have been more impressive if it was a little longer and rotated into the flat position once he pulled forward. ...still something I'd probably only do in a rental.

I got the lights and extension reel up and some wire ran. Work top is just on regular legs for now, need something to keep the various boxes on till I get get them installed. Can't do much more on the electrical side untill I get the sub panel installed...which still requires a trip to the...

I went with the receiver/surround sound idea. I have a 22x22 garage with a small workshop attached. One "small" speaker in each corner made it so I can have the volume at lower level and still have great sound throughout the garage...No more need to crank it up to hear across the garage. For...

My mess moved into the new area fairly quickly. I've started running electrical and lighting, should be done with those this weekend and I'll be able to post a much brighter picture. Here are the next things on my to do list: Work top- Work top will be hinged to fold down when not in use...
