Attached are photos of my garage.
It's 24 feet wide, 40 feet long and the ceilings are about 16 feet high.
In the back right corner is a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet bowl.
The heat is fuel oil hot air, hung from the ceiling, with it's own 275 gallon tank.
There's a drain in the floor, an air compressor located above the bathroom and lots of outlets.
The previous owner built the garage so he could drive full size tractors (I guess like Mack trucks) behind the garage, back them in through the large door and work on the engines.
He actually sheathed the entire inside with 3/4" plywood.
I made the bench with 2x4's - the legs are built like walls, and the top is built like a wall laid on its side, with 3/4" plywood on top, then 1/8" high density fiberboard glued to the plywood and the edges are wrapped in pine.
The shelves are made with 3/4" birch veneer plywood.
The left side of the garage (as viewed from the front) has gravel.
There's also a concrete pad behind the garage.
The driveway is 70 yards long.
I've owned it for 3 years and it's been very well used in that time.

Amazing. I have a 24 x 40 foot garage, but your place looks a lot roomier than mine. Mine is a pole building w/o finished walls or ceiling. Were the brakes dragging on the Impala when you put it away? I see tire marks. LOL

The Buick Grand National in the garage is my fathers'.
He finished installing new heads, intake manifold, roller cam and rocker arms yesterday and broke the engine in at 2500 rpm's for 30 minutes.
Attached is a picture of the driver side exhaust manifold glowing orange.
