I've been lurking around here for awhile, looking at all the cool garages and gleaning ideas for my own. I figured it was time to show mine and hopefully get some more ideas from the forum members. This is in Southern NH and it was built by the previous owner. I bought the house a couple years ago. It's about 1200 sqft and has a second floor. It has its own 200A panel.
Here's the front side. Three bay.
Door's open. That's my 1-ton CCLB, which is getting a new power steering pump and hydroboost. Next to it is my 85 Merkur, it's been my project car for several years now. Third bay, I'm storing my friend's 2002(?) Firebird. You can see the wall between the 2nd and 3rd bay in this pic. The PO used the 3rd bay as a paint booth. He picked up smashed up cars at auction and rebuilt and flipped them.
Here's the back. I call it the lean-to. I built that wood rack hanging from the rafters, using an idea I found here. Everything else should be pretty obvious. It's just a storage area for now. Ideally, at some point I'll pave it and be able to store a car or a tractor.
The next series of pictures is the 2-bay area, from right to left. I stood in the bed of the truck for some of it.
Work bench, which my dad built. Tool chest from my grandfather. 7.5HP compressor, which I bought of the PO. It flickers the lights pretty good. I'm looking to add some organization over the work bench, so I can make stuff more accessible.
Shot from the corner. There's a welder tucked in next to the bench. A couple cabinets from my dad's former workplace. Built short block for the Merk in the corner. And some shelves I picked up off CL. Propane heater hanging from the ceiling. It works pretty good.
Third bay. Tire racks. I got the basic idea here and kinda made it my own.
Back of the 3rd bay. I have most of my house repair stuff stored back here. I envision some pallet racks along the back wall and storing most stuff in bins. I have a rental house, so it would be nice to just be able to grab a bin and throw it in the truck and go. I also envision this area being a clean area for machine shop stuff and the 2 bay being the dirty work area.
And the shop dog.
