OK, this is just a normal 2 car garage reno, nothing fancy. A 30x30 shop build thread will come at a later date 
Anyway when my wife and I moved in to our home the previous owners had converted the 2 car garage in to a "studio". Several years later I finally got off my **** and, with the help of a buddy, started converting it back to a real garage.
Some info:
The house is in North Central Tx and was built in 1954, also believe it or not it has 3 phase wiring, but only the AC is 3 phase. Sure does fill up a breaker box quick...
On to a few pictures and as a side-note I am still pulling up the subfloor as I swear those old floor joists are petrified!
This is where I started, I had already pulled the sheetrock out and exposed the old headers and door frames. My poor X-Carve has been waiting to be in a proper space! Also notice some of the metal storage cabinets my wife scored for FREE from work. They are nice, ended up with 3.
Outside view
After some cleanup so I do not look like such a hoarder
Wider view and after much cussing at the petrified floor joists
Demo time! Yes, I have an inordinate amount of leaves. It's a heavily tree'd lot with the perfect mix of trees to drops leaves year round... Seriously I can never keep up, yay me.
Inside demo, how about those 1950's lights!
Framed and one of the guys knocking out the cheesey concrete footer, whoever poured it just sat it on top of the old slab. It took nothing to break it up.
Taped and bedded waiting for the door. I went with a simple 16x7 chea* 'er inexpensive door as I am saving my pennies for the real deal 2 story 30x30 shop
More floor demo, at one time I had Bitcoin miners and a bunch of server equipment in there, that's why there's a big 3000 CFM exhaust fan an HP server with 136 TB of storage, yadda yadda. Also people in the 50's were small! Check out that attic access hole!
Just had to put in 2 of the 6 LED fixtures up, wiring is temporary as I just wanted to see the light output. It's amazing, thanks to Garage Journal I ordered the recommended bulbs and fixtures from this awesome thread

Door in and 1st coat of paint on the new drywall
Outside
Outside after the guys reused the old exterior shingles, I think they did a good job getting them back in place and matching. I was worried because I have not been able to find a match new.
More to come as I finish up the interior, I've been a GJ member for years and have been soaking up all the cool ideas.
