Fabrication...It's really a shop not a garage. My wife parked her Lincoln in there once, I guess.

 

[JasonK]

My wife laid claim to 1/2. Built it a year ago, she is already spoiled, gets really pissy if I have my tools laid out on her side. It's going to break her heart next summer when I start hitting my project car hard, going to take it all.... I just built a lean-to, 3/4 of it is going to be my "man-room".

 

[KCHOTBOAT]

I use mine to powder coat
paint
build engines for the boat
park the car in it sometmes.

 

[NHCharger]

All the above except showroom. I also store all my contractors tools that I can't keep in my van or box trailer.
I'm also having an increasing problem with a inlaw using a small portion of my shop to work on his junk. I haven't figured out a classification for that yet.

[Runum]

20 x 20 garage just to park cars. 28 x 32 shop to do anything and everything.

 

[plepper]

24x24 used for fab and repair plus BS and bench racing sessions. a place for the guys to burp and fart while the gals do whatever it is inside the house by the way shop is 200 ft. from the house.

 

[OzCop]

40 x 50 used to house RV and two race cars, as well as cleaning RV and working on race cars...but that was last week.
Recently moved from DFW to Central KY, just bought a house with 3 car attached and 24x34 detached...RV will have to sit outside now...bummer...

 

[mikeyr]

a MAJOR MESS

Having the roof redone and I did not expect or I did not think. All kinds of garbage came through the slats, its roofed in 1x8's and I can't believe how much just fell into my garage as the roofer removed my old roof. And I left my spider with the top down on the lift, I just hope nothing damaged her aluminium body but I doubt that. So my garage is a MESS !!!

Normally my garage is a work place, 28x24 with racedeck flooring and 2 lifts, lots of welding stuff and engine working tools

I guess you'll have to change your "location" line now. Maybe you're in denial.

[RonBou]

Sorry...a bit long.

Mine is a get -a-way, a place to tinker with my bikes or like today...a repair shop for my truck which barely fits in the garage do to my stupidity when I had the garage built....but that's another story So, in my garage I have 4 motorcycles and my car therefore no room for the truck which needs to lay up for about a week. Luckily I had left up my old 1 car garage and managed to fit 3 bikes in there leaving the truck, the car and my biggest bilke. Take a look at the pics and see my dilemma. The moral is that you need to build your garage roughly twice the size you want.

 

[RonBou]

ooops...

where's the pics? another try...

Custom Upholstery

 

[stimpy]

storing parts for the race car which is at my buddys bodyshop because mines so full of stuff like 3 engines , 2 rear ends 5 sets of fenders , the tool boxes , my homemade flow bench ( cheaper than buying one . ) 2 sets of tires mounted on rims ( for car and truck )

can ussually nudge the front of the P/u in there for minor work
can weld if I make some room
bodywork goes to the shop
I don't let my vehicle get dirty enough for detailing
and storage of building materials for the house while I remodel .

and the dang thing is only 10 w x24 d x9 t

I can say I cramped for space .
I do have a spareroom for my fabrication , and engine rebuilding .

the joys of being no married an engine block in the living room or is it the reason why I'm not married ?
