She's a brick house

[Jeepster425]

Well I'm in the process of buying my first house, a somewhat outdated 2800sf brick rancher. But since this isnt About my house, I can't wait to get ahold of this garage. A little bit over 1000sf, it can fit 4 cars, has 3 garage doors, and plenty of bench and storage space. I'll update this slowly since I'm just starting out the process of closing. But here's some quick pics I grabbed.

Congratulations! I can tell already, you're going to have fun.

 

[Mr. Roboto]

I love the space, congrats! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Is it detached?

 

[Basher]

That's a great space you have
& we're looking forward to seeing how you fill it!

Keep it coming

 

[lakeroadster]

Looks like a great space!

The gal in the photo has that "Yeah, it's just a garage, what's the big deal?" Look.

You're one up on me... my first home (circa 1982) was also a "Brick House".... with no garage at all!

 

[Jeepster425]

It's attached by a breezeway, but there's still enough room to drive a vehicle through to get to the side garage door

Great looking place but why does the young lady look unhappy about it all?

 

[Jeepster425]

She was listening and looking at what the guy was trying to say lol

With arms crossed and that look on her face she simply does not look impressed.

 

[southalabama]

I've seen that look before.

Must be universal.

Saw the thread title and was thinking this:

The young lady might be thinking this though...lol:

Looks like an awesome shop. I wish I had that much garage square footage.

Your wife is beautiful. You're a lucky man -- a babe and a great shop!

 

[ADSR]

very nice!

I assure you she'll be out there almost as much as me!

So you best have a good heater as I take it she is cold and I am reading to much from the body language.

Keen to see more as you progress.

Already planning on a nice wood stove [emoji106]

Figured since the house has 3, the shop obviously needs to have atleast one!

So can you get a vehicle into the back yard?

 

[Ruger_556]

Nice!

 

[stihlntime]

Nice looking,lots of storage already in place. She already knows she will have to compete with the shop for your time,money and affection.

I know my jeep can, full size?? Possibly..it's definitely an odd set up though

Congrats on the new shop and your lovely wife. I'm not being rude I assure you.

I envy your shop. I also have 3 bay doors, but mine is only deep enough for a single vehicle to pull in at a time. I look forward to the next shop being at least two cars deep if not more. Good luck getting your shop outfitted man. you're going to have a ball in there.

 

[Jeepster425]

Well she ain't my wife yet lol

It must be cold and he plans to fit a heater. Keen to see more happen here as it looks like it will be a great place.

Jeepster425, if she is keen to help you best make her a keeper.

 

[Drew_flux]

Looks like you have a solid base to build on.

You mean they have a different look as I get that look everyday!

Great space... Lot of potential there!

 

[Jeepster425]

Got the home inspection tomorrow, I'll take some better pictures of the garage and post up some interior pics of the house( mainly the cool guy stuff lol)

I agree, on both counts! Best of luck OP.

So here's some updated photos, almost everything is in place, the space behind the jeep is still kinda messy and hard to get a picture of..

I hope that BBQ is not the heater . Looks like you are getting well set up.

 

[Wedge]

Mate I'm jealous, I love the shed, timber framed, huge...
I also love the man cave in the basement.
Why don't Aussies have basements, cellars, or attics??
I'll certainly enjoy following this thread.
Hope the transfer goes well. Cheers

I just keep it in the garage due to some druggies down the street that like to take stuff that isn't there's. I plan on putting a wood stove in somewhere in the near future[emoji106]

That's a good looking start. Looks like with some framing work in the ceiling you could probably fit in a low rise lift. It always looks big until you move in.

A lift is in my plans as well, heck I'd be happy if I only could go up a few feet, I'd be able to go up taller but the garage door rails are stopping me.
