We finally closed on the new(er) house on the 13th. I just am now getting to unpacking my garage and getting things useable. The main garage is 3 wide, and then it has another 2 attached off the back. There's still the rear wall, but there's a 10' wide overhead door to close the rear off from the front. There's also a 10' door out the back wall for complete drive-through. It has 3 six foot long baseboard heaters under the windows on thier own separate system from the house (and on a special program through the utility as well so it's only @ $30/month). There's a large (not Big ***) fan and lots of light with 9' + ceilings.

Here's the starting picture and where I'm at for now. I have a 4' wide cabinet, a 3' wide metal cabinet, 6 chrome racks, 69" workbench, 41" tool box, etc. For now, I'm just getting stuff accessable and then I'll work on a better layout.

That filled up in a hurry! Good starting point

Great start! It should be fun to watch you get going. I assume the floor was already done?

Nice looking shop -- enjoy!

Yeah, I bought the house with the shop looking like the top pic. All the black plastic totes will go away as they get unloaded. I had 18 to begin with. Some went into the 10x12 shed out back already. The main garage has a nice built-in 16x8 piece that has shelves built perfectly to hold paper ream boxes, so a lot of extra hardware storage will go in there. Give me time, I'll get a little paint in there, and probably build a little smaller bench but with drawers to hold everything. I'll probably use the front for dirty work and have the back for assembly and just tinkering.

Here's an updated pic after some cleaning. It's still a working roject but now I can at least start getting to some other projects.
