Yahoo I finally figured out how to post large pictures :headscrat

Been working on the office/bathroom/guest room. Here is a shot from today. Had the electrician out and we have all the wire run. Going to do the plumbing and then insulation this week.

For all those that want to leave California this is considered a small garage in TEXAS. :beer:

Very nice! I like the triple axle 5th wheel too.. What are the dimensions of the interior part of your building?

Very nice small place there Nighttrain...am packing right now. I'm guessing the 6 of us could move in there and it would take you a while to even notice us. :bounce:

Nighttrain,
So you finally got go'n on your garage. I was in Dripping Springs yesterday...look'n for some wooden barrels.

Your place looks great. Plenty of space, unique with a TEXAS flair. We need to see more pics though. That corrugated metal on the walls looks familiar.

Keep us updated.

But more importantly... let's some pics of those bikes!:thumbup:

Found some old metal from a neighbors barn. (hope he doesn't miss it)

Here is the inside of my office looking out to the garage.

Above the office is all storage. I have built several shelves so far.

Also have the sink installed.

Couple of answers to above questions. The inside of the garage is 40x60 with 16' walls. I thought that 16' would be enough for a second floor above the office but it is just a bit too low. It does make for great storage with plenty of head room. I will be using half of the upper area for a work area also.

I am trying to re-use some items. All the interior doors were salvaged as was the sink. The window in my office was a new double pane door which I cutdown to equal sizes and put in horizontal Really came out nice and only cost $15.

Thanks for the interest in my gargage. It's been over a year now since we started and has been slow. Lot's of other projects with our new house.


A couple projects. This back corner will be set up for motorcycle fab work.

Started the overhead awning. This will also be old barn metal. Also started the insulation.
