Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!

[subyman99]

Looking to get ideas on what to build this next spring to hold all my cars, If you have any good pics inside or out of some nice shops or even your muscle car garage that would be great!

Here is a peak at my Garage,
-Grey diamond pattern rubber floor covers from the price club.
-Gemini four post hoist with bridge jack built in Texas USA.
-Insulated garage doors.
-Foam injected walls and ceilings with drywall.
-11' high ceiling for great clearance for the hoist.
-Large de-humidifier to keep the garage dry in the winter or summer.
-No heating as it never drops below 40 degrees in my garage even if it is -30 degrees outside, i just run a small ceramic heater when i work on something over the winter and it gets warm in under 30 minutes and the de-humidifier keeps everything dry.
-My storage tricks, Trickle charger on all 4 batteries out of the cars on a work bench, Fuel Stabil in all the gas tanks with a full level of gas, 3 Mouse Traps (Just in case) and Car Cover for each car for winter storage. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Matt not even a shot of the wall of intakes .

[jasonL78]

To me there is a garage to work on your cars and a garage to store your cars. A big difference in space.

The earlier tread is my home garage, strictly for parking a car and doing some cleaning and under the hood stuff. These photos are my &quot;workshop&quot;, 800 sq ft bay as part of my business in a light industrial park.

Parking for three cars, or two with comfort.
6000 Lb Hoffman twin screw hoist
Sandblaster.
Three phase compressor
Press
Tools
Storage
memorbilia.
40&quot; LED TV with full cable and HD

[PxTx]

Nice equipment! Three phase power is great to have, and the twin screw lift- sweet. I've thought about installing a VFD so I could have a twin screw lift at my house. I can think of a few other things that would be nice too, like one of those quiet/insulated compressors without a storage tank. For now, I have a 3 car garage for storage but my dream garage is only a set of plans I paid an architect to design. Hoping in the next 1-3 years it will become a reality.

[JackOlsen]

I second the recommendation for the www.garagejournal.com. (http://www.garagejournal.com)

I've got a small suburban garage (20'x21') and I put it together with a pretty low budget. I learned as I went, doing all of the work myself -- including setting the tile and digging the pit for the lift.

The total budget, including the floor, cabinets, benches and lift was less than $3,500. Everything you see is second-hand, re-purposed or home-made.

I do automotive work in it, and also some carpentry and metal fabrication.

I also made a website for it: http://www.12-gaugegarage.com

(This is not spam. I don't make any money off of the website and pay for it out of my own pocket.)

There is no 911 that's been lowered too much to fit on this lift. And there's nothing to trip over when the car is out.

And it's got its own a video:

And yes, a video just about the lift I put in:

My Garage Lift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WdyR-aOtpw)

Is it always this clean? No. Not by a long shot.

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/1904/humpty.jpg

But it does go back to clean very quickly -- that's the real accomplishment of it, I think. I finally took the time to work out a place for everything to go when It's not being used.

In practice, it makes a huge difference not having to spend so much time looking for things you've misplaced. I spent years doing that. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif

Glad to see you here Jack. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

----I must have missed it, Jack. Where is the fridge??? Gotta be there somewhere. Not a good garage without a fridge. A buddy of mine in Scotsdale has a urinal on one wall because he got tired of going on the cactus outside. Kinda liked the idea!!!......Bill S

[JackOlsen]

Thanks, guys!

No fridge. No room for it, I'm afraid. And the house fridge is only a few steps away. And a bathroom is right around the corner, too -- the garage and my office are the same detached structure.

I do have an opener, though.

Any of you guys have a &quot;Morton&quot; pole barn type building? I'm working with a rep in Florida on having them build a 60 x 70 x 12 building for me down there.

[rubbinisracing]

Tony,

I considereed Morton before I built my building but decided to another way. Morton offered nice touches to customize the building and let it fit more with the architecture of other structures and appear less of a light industrial look. They are a large nationwide company with a good reputation and stand behind their work. The reason I went elsewhere was 2 fold: (1)cost, they where 50% higher (2)my main building is 100' x 200', morton typically uses trusses to support the roof and this prevented me from having a mezzanine for open storage. The only things I would have done different is built bigger and changed my eave height from 16' to 20/24'.

http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2012/12/full-2334-1719-dsc00915.jpg

[TDW]

Howard, now THAT'S a building! I went out this morning and looked a 2 different Morton buildings. They do some nice work. Like you said, they are quite a bit more expensive than a standard building, but the quality sure seems to be there.

[Xplantdad]

Looks good Howard!

Tony...get a place in AZ....so we can cruise together! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Tony, Contact Thomas Payne. He can give you some first-hand info on his Morton building he had done a couple of years ago. I was at Tom's place yesterday and the new building is NICE!
You can get some detailed information on his entire build here (http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51567&amp;highlight=1930) if you have a couple of free months to read it. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

I'll surf through it and try to find the page (or post number) where he begins to chronicle the new building.

Thomas is a great guy and I can assure you he will do his best to answer any questions you might have. He's also a member here (bb767) so you can check his profile for contact info, or PM me and I'll put you in touch with him.

EDIT: The saga of Tom's Shop restoration takes a number of twists 'n turns, but one of the early shots of the &quot;Barn&quot; is on page 39 (depending on your settings), post number 765.

[ORIGLS6]

Another thing you may consider: Morton has a economy model building marketed under the Country Craft name. My son lost a metal building to an ice storm a few years ago and replaced it with the Country Craft branding. Although his was more of a utility type structure, I thought it was a good value for the money. 60' x 120' with 14' sidewalls and 12' x 16' sliding doors on two sides; total cost less a concrete floor, ..... $38k.

[TDW]

Thanks Bill. I did follow that thread! Fantastic job. I will shoot him a PM. The 2 buildings that I looked at today are very nice. The worksmanship looks very good too.

Bruce, I spent some time in AZ back in the late 70's. I was in Glendale and Sun City for a while. I remember &quot;Indian School Road and the &quot;Camelback Mountains&quot;. What cracked me up was I would be going through a town and in between the commercial buildings, there would be an old run down shack that had goats and donkeys in the yard!

You can come back to visit you know!

[Billohio]

We have Morton and country craft buildings. Morton posts are closer and several other things are nice, like heavier doors. The main shop is 56 x 76. They insulated it and we installed a propane fired instant water heater like you can get for a house. I think it says tek jr on it. The heater makes hot water that runs thru pipes in the floor. Might be higher costs at startup but it is great. Once the concrete is warm, it is toasty all winter. You can lay on the floor to work and its really nice. Also when you open the doors, you don't lose all your heat. Very efficient too. There is a company called crete heat that makes foam panels that have a vapor barrier on them. They snap together and your pipes snap into them. Saves alot of install time

[TDW]

Thanks Bill. From start to finish of your building, did it go as planned? Were they on the job when they said they would be? Did you have any cost over runs? I am very picky about people doing what they say they will, when they say they will. All in all, were you satisfied with the whole project? This building is going up in central Florida, so I won't be too concerned with heating the floor. I am looking into their insulation package though.

Bruce, the wife and I are thinking about getting a Motorhome to do some traveling. She wants to go to the Grand Canyon, so we just may show up at your door one day!

[Xplantdad]

Tony...you are welcome anytime!

Cal (zapper68) asked me to post this of his garage. He recently just completed it up in the mountains of Vancouver, British Columbia. I don't recall the square footage but it is A LOT. He also has a party/meeting room unstairs as well as lot of extra storage. Quite an interesting garage and shop on the inside and nicer than my home.

[mockingbird812]

Cal sent these this morning. The house is off to the left in the one photo and over looks Lake Okanagon. The photos of the inside of the garage show it empty but they were taken several months ago just after completion. It now contains lots of cars, wall art and beer. Lots of room in there!

Everything went well for us. We are 20 minutes from a plant so that helps and knew the crew leader. The lumber Morton uses is better than you can get at a lumber yard. We did have wind get in the country craft and bend the side doors and they took care of it. Seems to be good warrantee.

Thanks Bill. I sent the Rep a drawing with some additions to the original floor plan I had. He should get back to me this week with a price. It doesn't take long to shoot the price way up there! Impact fees and permit fees in Florida are ridiculous! It's going to cost me at least 10 grand before I stick a shovel in the ground!

[Steve_Hoog]

Man you guys have WAYYYY too much money!!!! I only have a simple garage with barely room for two cars, no special flooring other than big cracks, and my wife constantly stealing my tools for house jobs.

[SS427]

Ha Bill. Sears tools for the little lady so she has her play set at home but MAN is she fond of them especially if I forget to put one back....

Thanks for the comment Steve. This car was completed and shipped to Florida where it was sold only a few hours later (he received an offer he could not refuse from a client of mine).

Sam, I cannot say anything about the book yet other than the author is very well known and most of us have his other books in our libraries already. We supplied hundreds of photos and technical information for it. No guarantee on the cover but they told me we had a pretty good shot at it. All shot with a cheap digital camera by a local friend and part time shop helper. The publisher wanted to simulate a home Chevelle enthusiasts working out of his garage on his Chevelle with limited tools so there you have it.

Dan, no fender covers because they did not want the shot to be too busy. Hence the lack of dog as well.

Very nice storage building Thomas. I see I need to pay you another visit as all those cars used to be stored in a much smaller garage the last time I was there. Love the new 'storage' building! Looks like you built it on the same property as your shop is located. I know you should us where you had plans on putting up another building and never guessed it was going to be that big. Congrats!!!

Great shop and dedication Thomas, I remember reading the thread on GJ a while back, I think I stopped on page gazzillion though! What a great read, it must be very satisfying working in that restored shop.

Cal sent me these photos this morning. First one us a LARGE mule deer next to his garage/shop, second is the lineup of some of his cars, his 55 gasser and his two racing buddies, Wayne and Wayne.

finally got done with my dream garage (plan to have the <span style="font-weight: bold">ferris bueller wall of glass in the back</span>, header already in place waiting for 21 ft span of glass panels, floor to ceiling), overlooking small ravine my son will probably push a car into someday. Very happy I went with a truss ceiling, for car lifts. drywall is the next project. Highly recommend epoxy-coat floor finishes. Recommend the higherend juno lights that adjust (slightly recessed) versus the cheap ones that look like eyeballs.

Bob,

Congrats! Love it. I`m sure your planing on a lift(s) next. Show us the work area side of your garage.

<span style="font-style: italic">It's not a dream garage..but it does the job. We rent this from a local guy who built it to store his motorhome. It has 16 foot ceilings and radiant heat...very secure. I was there today lining up the cars for winter storage, adding Sta-Bil and covering them for the &quot;winter nap&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

We store some &quot;stuff&quot; there too...very dry storage...humidity was 39% today...never any issues with rodents or other pests.

One more to move tomorrow before the weather goes in the tank....of course several are available for <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Holiday Delivery&quot;....</span>more on that later <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif</span>

Tom,

WOW! What a great space. You could get a triple decker lift with that ceiling height <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Dan

[WILMASBOYL78]

Dan..I've looked into lifts...the posts take up space...but, it may be something we do in 2013. It is nice in the winter working on a &quot;warm floor&quot;...wilma

ps...that other car in the photo is a 1941 Studebaker..he has another in teal blue...
the BB engine on the dolly is a 68 L78..one of 617 4spd. Nova motors made, it goes to another Nova we have...

So getting back to the &quot;Holiday Delivery&quot; statement Tom............?

[ChevyThunder]

I have a shop at Infineon/Sears Point in Sonoma but since I don't actaully own it I won't post photos.. I do have a ice little two car garage I keep a 427 Camaro in along with some German race car.. Pretty clean, heated and air conditioned with about 50 recessed can lights and I powder coated all the garage door hardware so it blends a little better than all that exposed steel....need to do the floors but still haven't decided which route to go
