I am so glad that I came across this site and all the very knowledgeable and helpful people on it. I have of course been lurking for some time and eyed longingly at so many of the awesome build threads here. I have learned so much and am thankful that there is a resource like this for all to learn ...
So, like the American Dream that is for so many and so many people on this board, I worked hard (and still doing so) and am closing in on the completion of a workshop semi-attached to our home. The idea for the workshop space started as a large rectangle but evolved from there based on other needs (and homeowner association restrictions
)and a plan was finally made ...
I am what you may call a jack of all trades but a master of very little. I am hoping that one day I may do better at many things, but it's okay if I don't. I love to work on cars, love woodworking, love working on bicycles (haven't started tinkering with motorcycles ... yet), love to tinker in general, still love toys (RC cars, computers, etc) and wanted a place that is there for all that and more. A place where friends and family can come and hang out too. I also want to put a snooker table in there somewhere.
During the start of the construction phase (slab just poured), my father passed away, and that really affected my whole family very badly. We were very slowly losing him to Parkinson's disease. I was really hoping that the garage would be a place where he and I could bond more than we had in the most recent years. But that was not meant to be, and I will always think of him, in a good way, when working/playing out there ...
Here are some pics of the build progress so far ...
