I'm a new guy

[jlcolvin]

Hey everyone, I just joined because my wife and I are house hunting and we are not seeing very many house with at least a 3 car garage. So we are now focusing on getting a little more land and maybe adding on the garages at a later time. I know I will find a ton of info on here when it comes time to build a garage or fix up the garage that happens to have a house attached to it . I look forward to learning as much as I can, getting to know this community, and looking at all the pictures that are going to drive me crazy. For now I'll post up some pictures of what I am working with now, its a rental but at least it has a 2 car.

Welcome -- your current house doesn't look like a bad place. Garage looks nice too!!

Good luck with your "house hunt"

although i am from the great white north, a lot of eye opening issues that can crop up made me realize that due diligence is worth it............and seeing as how the market is soft for you guys, you now can take the time to do it right..........anyways, enjoy your stay here...............

Welcome to the forum, thats a awesome looking Typhoon you have there what number is it?

 

[jlcolvin]

thanks for the welcome and advice guys. My typhoon is #1160, I bought it back in December and the previous (original) owner had done all kinds of work to it. I still drive and plan to drive it like a grandpa

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your house/garage hunting!

 

[jlcolvin]

thank you, think we may have found a region "fairly close" that has 3 car garages...I'll keep everyone informed

Hey hey... nice setup!

 

[jlcolvin]

Still lurking around here. We found a house, only has a 2 car garage but there is no HOA so we add on if we want. We moved out to the "country" and our got an acre lot.

Here is the picture of the lot from satellite

I don't have any inside shots of the garage loaded anywhere so I'll have to get some later...but here is the exterior, pretty cookie cutter and basic

I'm still getting motivated from all the posts here and hopefully I'll have my own build thread.

There is nothing wrong with cookie cutter and basic. Usually that means affordable

That looks like a nice place.

 

[jlcolvin]

Well it has been quite a while...I'm more of a lurker than a poster

Let's see, the Blazer is gone (now sitting down at my brother's house)

It was more or less replaced with my Magnum
Then

Now

The wife had her 2000 Eclipse that we recently sold to my nephew after we got her a "new" car

Last pictures of the Eclipse

We got her a Ford Flex

The first task was making room for it in the garage, it was quite a bit longer than her Eclipse was

And then I started playing with it

I want to do the fog light surrounds and the grill next and try to get the wheels more of a dark gray instead of black.
