:beer: I bought my first house in May '10. It's nothing special, good enough for me, as I'm not married, and no kids. The one big problem was there was no garage,so all my tools, my Jeep and other stuff have been taking up my dads garage. Lets just say with a lil pressure from him we started on my garage as soon as I got the house mostly done. I've been working on this since June. We've done everything ourselfs, except the concrete and trusses, so it's taking a little bit longer then I had hoped. It's 32w x 26d, the biggest I could go according to the city. The walls are just over 11ft, and with the sissor trusses the center is 17ft. A lift is in the plans, and the floor was poured for it. It's getting there but still have alot to do(finish electric, finish walls, heating, and epoxy floors.
Here's one picture of it, as of last weekend. I'll get the others up when I get home. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

here's another pic I found. I pulled my old truck in there to kinda get the idea of the size. I hope to restore that truck in there eventually.

Love the old Chevy! Nice wall height- well planned. Will it just house the Jeep and tools? BTW- we'll (and by that I mean "I'll") need to see a pic of that Jeep! Any Jeep worthy enough to have it's own home built for it is worth seeing...

Heres some pictures. It started life as a cherokee, not sure what you'd call it now. These pics are what looked like after the first chop.

After a while I decided I didnt like the rear so I chopped it again adding a tailgate and new fuel cell. All the doors lift off like a Wrangler. I got axles and a rollcage to put in too. i havent worked on it for while but that'll change once the garage is done.

Theses are some interior pics, still got a lot to do but you can kind of get an idea of the height.
