I finally have a garage

[poriggity]

This thread will be used to document any upgrades modifications or enhancements to my garage. I am 37 years old, and on August 23rd of this year, my wife and I relocated to Reno, NV, and bought our dream home. 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 car garage and large rv parking. I managed to get the daily driver car and the wife's car into the garage today.. And once we get rid of some more stuff that is in our way, I'll be able to organize the 3rd garage bay into a small shop. Here are some pictures I took today after I was able to finally get the cars in the garage..

Obviously not complete but I am just happy I was able to get both cars in the garage and my truck in the rv parking. Next up is deciding where to put my bench drill press and bench grinder..

More to come in photo form as things progress.

Thanks! I'll get better pictures soon. I live about 20 miles north of downtown reno in a quiet little suburb. It's a nice spot.

congrats on the new space.
Take your time on sitting up your shop, Leave as much on wheels as you can, so to be able to move stuff around as you make them fit better.
Good luck..Rich

They are cool.. Flashlights with built in tazers on the ends.. They stay in my tool box locked and out of the hands of the kiddos haha..

Small update.. You never know how many sockets you actually need until you buy a socket organizer on clearance at Sears...

So.. The question is, what are some decent but inexpensive sockets? I don't really care for craftsman but I have been looking at Pittsburgh sockets, from HF, which might be ironic...

Got a few more things hung on the walls, and decided to bolt my bench grinder to it's permanent home. Small benchtop drill press will go next to it.
Finally, I was at harbor freight today and picked up some new toys.

It's blurry.. But this is currently loaded in my truck.. Grabbed a parts washer for $30. Can't beat that. Now I just need to decide what solvent to use...
