Hey guys. I have lived in my house just over a year now. All it has is a little one car garage, and of coarse, im in to big trucks! So, its been a challenge making it work for me but its come a long way sense i first got it. The garaage was initialy built as a car port with an attached "shed at the back. At some point the carport was closed in making it a garage. knocking down the old shed wall made one "big" garage. I investigated everything before i started tearing stuff apart and came to the conclusion that it was safe and sound. So, here is some "build pics" in mostly chronological order. Enjoy!
From the outside looking in.
The inside looking at the back wall that later got torn down.
First project in the garage was a carb re-build on the k5. this was pre wall tear down. The back of the blazer was just a little out the back of the garage in this pic. Not enough room!
How much walking room i have on either side of the truck.
So down comes the Wall!
Now i can pull the truck in this far, still close the garage door, and have room in front too! Before, the truck just exaclty fit in the garage with about 1-1/2" to spare...
Next up was a bench. First thing i did was sketch it up.
Building,
All done!
The only shot i have showing how much room there is between the burb and the bench.
Next were shelves.
And thats pretty much how it is as of today! There are a couple more little shelves and im still organizing/throwing stuff away that i dont need. But, its come a very long way in a year! Not to mention this is my first house and first garage that i have ever been able to work in! Thats it for now!
