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.

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!

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...

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!

looking good man!! :thumbup:

It's amazing what can happen to a space when someone has a purpose for it. I like your rattle can shelf - I've been thinking of how to store them in my garage, but haven't found the spot for them yet. I'm a big fan of high shelves using plastic containers - keeps all the clutter organized, out of sight, and out of the work area.

Keep up the good work! :beer:

Doing a motor swap and such on my buddys skylark made me realize just how not organized i am yet! Certainly have a bit of refining to do! Think i might have update pics coming soon...
