Howdy,
I have found this forum to be very helpful, so i've decided to post up my project as well.
My wife was wanting to move into town to be closer to friends and so our 3 yr old could play with others, etc. I told her ok, if you find a house that will allow me to work on my cars, etc.
My old shop in the country:
I thought it was a long shot, but she found the perfect place for us:
drive way is huge:
2 car garage, and a 3 car garage both designed into the house. The 3 car has its own heating/ac system, bathroom, and is wired for a shop.
It had been turned into a game room with carpet floors. I have a thread on here where i got rid of the carpet and glue, put down epoxy floor. Painted the walls, and am still working on it. Bought some cabinets, shelves, etc from sam's club (very happy with the quality and price).
current progress:
nicknamed the "Dance Studio" by a friend (being pretty and all)
still cleaning, organizing and setting up the shop. Got some good stuff done this weekend.
still to do: insulate the garage door, assemble & mount some wall cabinets, "decorate" - hang posters and banners, other misc tool stuff.
setup air compressor, get a small parts washer, other stuff surely to come.
then i can start on the back log of projects
working in AC is nice
