my modified 2 bay garage pics

[purpony]

Hi All, long time looker, small time poster. I just recently got my garage to where its worth posting a few pics. Its not as nice as some of yours but its mine! I bought a house a few years back with an attached 2 bay garage. To me its on the small size since i came from a 7 bay garage at my fathers house, which i still use all the time. I plan on building a detached oversized 3 bay in the future but its not going to happen right now. Here are pics of my 2 bay now that i have modified it. The garage is 26'x26' and had a 10'2" ceiling with a trussed roof. I re-engineered the trusses over one bay and raised the ceiling to 13'5". I also cut my existing garage door track to make it open on an angle following the ceiling. I plan on installing a Liftmaster 3800 in the near future. I also still have lots to do as far as finishing painting the walls, installing more lighting, and floor painting.

My garage now allows me to park my lifted F-150 under my lift and allows me to park my 3 vehicles and 2 motorcycles inside at all times.

enjoy-

Raised ceiling with new lighting

garage door opens up out of the way

The truck is a tight fit. I had to install lift spacers under the lift fit to allow the truck to fit. I have about 1" of clearance between my truck roof and bottom of the lift runways. I then bolted the lift to the floor.

sorry for the poor quality of the next pics, the lighting is hard on the pics.

looking out into the garage from my interior house door.

I installed the rear man door last summer. Had to rent a concrete chainsaw and cut the sill out. That door is extremely handy and allows me walkout access to the back yard now.
Also, my garage is fully heated with the hot water modine hanging from the ceiling.

thanks for looking

P.S. Don't let a tire shop overinflate your F-150's tires, however!

Nice job. Any pics of the truss modification?

Wow my dream garage and truck all in one picture. Congrats on the sweet setup man! Digging them both!

Why not park the explorer under the lift and the F150 on the other side? Seems like too close of a fit to me- with my luck one day I'd get the lift up to the next to last stop instead of the very last one and peel open the top of the F150 by mistake.

Really cool space, though.

I would and have but the big truck just takes up to much space when its on the non lift side. I like having the room around the explorer and room in front of it where one of my bikes is parked.

As long as my dad doesnt sell his house, i park my F-150 in his garage over the winter ( he goes to TN and FL), cause i have another explorer as well that i daily drive and that will be under the lift.

Indeed, a very well thought out ceiling design and use of space. I installed 2 Liftmaster 3800's and love them. What brand and capacity is the lift?

Very nice!

How did you get your door track to bend at that angle?

 

[Cryptic1911]

nice garage, but do you have any videos of that mustang in action?

I agree would like to see pics if you have any!
