Hello all,
I finally posted here today in a thread, so I figured I should do the intro. I have lurked here for about 4 months and have to say two things:
1. I love this place for the great info, inspiration, friendly knowledgeable people and also the international participation and esprit de corp.
2. I hate this place for the time-sucking vortex it has created as I try to catch up on all the fantastic garages/buildings/projects of all types presented here.
I am in the process of moving to Michigan from Illinois, and recently purchased a new house with a 30x36 separate garage building in addition to the smallish two car attached to the house. I am moving from a 30x40 4-car (shared with everything), so not a lot more space but some. The new building is split into three rooms, so the actual garage area could be larger. One area will become the tool/dirty area, and the other small one an office/clean area.
Hope to add a two-post lift, but will need to decide on type (ceiling is 10' 6" but can probably be raised in the area needed).
I will be near Howell when I am relocated. I still have three cars and a garage full of parts to move, not counting the household goods. I have lived in Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, now heading back to Michigan for about ten years or so likely (retirement HOPEFULLY on the horizon at that point).
Now I have to get a chance to go see the garage in Philo before I get moved completely (about 45 minutes away from me now).
Thanks all.
