What does your garage look like inside?

 

[Postsedan]

Let me guess? There is a Corvette under that cover? My guess is a 1978?

[crewchief888]

it's dark, dirty, chilly, and damp.

Close. It's a 1980.


This is the most important side of th3e garage. Have other junk around like license plates and bear stuff and outdoor things.

Love the snap on box. Kind of reminds me of the menards masterforce cause of the green.

I am pretty much a neat freak so my garage is always clean. However I do have a bunch of my kids stuff such as big wheels, scooters and bikes that are all on the floor and it drives me crazy.

I would love for my garage to look spotless like this:

I am thinking about putting some shelving and cabinets up to get everything off the floor but I don't know if I want to try and do it myself or hire someone to do it.

I found the following company that is local to where I live that looks like a great option if I have someone do it, but I need to check the cost

Local Dallas Company: Garaginization

I am also looking at these for Cabinets: Garage Storage Cabinets

Would it be hard to install stuff like this myself or should I let the professionals do it?

mine looks like this!
a Real working garage not a car showcase /storage area

 

[GirchyGirchy]

Here's part of mine. It's always needing some sort of cleaning.

 

[dmw56]

My 40' X 40' and some of the stuff in it.

[38Chevy454]

Mine looks like a 52 GMC blew up, a 38 Chevy and 68 GTO that are dusty and don't get driven enough, four tool boxes, lots of shelves filled with ****, couple benches and floor tools, many car parts and a lot of mess. I really need to clean things up!

Better than Mickey's, worse than Don's.

 

[Old Fossilface]

That looks sweet!

 

[Big Gus]

That sure is a nice tablesaw. What's under the tarp?

Whats the monthly insurance premium on all that goodness?

 

[Zrexxer]

Love the snap on box. Kind of reminds me of the menards masterforce cause of the green.

It IS a Masterforce. It's not a Snap On box.

 

[tpolley]

mine looks like about 20lbs of **** stuffed in a 10lb sack.

You can see the black Masterforce logo on the top left. The sticker is still on the bottom drawer on the lower right too.....

 

[texasbasshunter]

Now that is a nice garage

 

[pentavolvo]

Much has changed since I last took pics 2 years ago. Guess I will need to get new ones

 

[bobemmerich]

Here's the only pics I have of mine. Couple years ago. It has since been organized and messy again-Twice! For some unforseen reason ...First pic is looking from the back out, 2nd pic is looking in...I'll try to get new ones this week as I clean and organize. Seems the more stuff I move out and get rid of, the more I seem to get.

 

[sberry]

side view, my 4 yr old was picking out pics here.

 

[goodspeed]

This is my current work area. It's terrible, I know, but I should be moving into a better facility if all goes to plan.

 

[VatorMan]

You guys with pole barns KILL me. Color me jealous.

 

[sberry]

Technically not pole barn, steel building but have another for storage, keep the shop to work in. If I am not currently working on it out it goes unless something needs to be kept from freezing. Have another basement with shelves for all the little stuff too good to toss but don't want cluttering shop.

 

[Jinks]

Middle of the road, but this is just the bike shop. Cars are in the other garage...

 

[Mickey O]

Got it all cleaned up this afternoon, still needs a little more cleaning:

What's the orange truck and orange MC?

Did anybody get hurt when the bomb went off ?

Here's mine from last year's WOOD magazine "Ultimate Garage Makeover" issue.

Aren't all these already posted in the garage section? Oh well....can't see or show - them too often!!

I've started to separate the shop into clean and dirty sides - and areas. this is my engine build area:

I also have a lot of(OK too many) collectibles:

 

[dmw56]

What's the orange truck and orange MC?

The truck is a 1951 Ford F1 rat rod. The motorcycle is a 1974 HD Aermacchi Sprint SS350 converted into a Cafe Racer.

ditto, but if I had all that space it'd just be a cluttered mess just like my little 3 car.
Speaking of, since when was a 17' deep garage normal? Really how much could it possibly cost to build the garage an extra 5 feet deep?

Very nice and welcome to the forum.

[zmotorsports]

I originally posted these in my introduction, but that has been about three years now so here they are again.

Mike.


I have a 2-car garage attached to the house but the shop is detached and is 34'x34' and sits about 40' behind the house to the front of the shop. I have a driveway that goes alongside the attached garage to the shop in the backyard. The home and shop are not as large and fancy as many on the forum. They are both modestly sized and fit our family perfectly and we are extremely happy here. Sometimes I wish for a larger shop so I could park our motorhome inside but for the most part I love everything about our home. The shop is not as clean/sano as many on here but it is a true working shop as my wife, son and I operate a small performance business out of our home shop.

Here is the front of the shop.

Gate that my son and I fabricated to secure the back yard.

Back wall of the shop. Workbenches and toolbox.

Back right corner of the shop. This is the ATV/motorcycle portion of the shop equiped with two motorcycle/ATV lifts. Enclosed closet is where the 60 gallon vertical air compressor is located to reduce noise. Also some small shelves for additional storage.

Right wall of shop. Getting into the fabrication portion of the shop.

Welding/Fabrication portion of the shop.

Ammco two-post 10k pound lift.

View from the outside after a late night of wrenching.
