[mikeedler]

thanks. It's a ton of work, but should be worth it when it's finally finished!

Advertised as a three car, I knew there was a tad more room than that!

A friend locally is trying to one-up me. . . so far he's off to a pretty good start. :)

Bump! Been spending a lot of time getting out new place sorted out and now i'm on to the garage so I need inspiration. With Winter upon us, it's time to get these spaces into proper order.

Garage Journal then is your new habitat.

Indeed, garage journal has lots of good threads on lifts. I plan on making one bay in my garage a high lift door so I can sink a lift in the floor. Seek jack Olsen thread about his steel garage. He lifts his Porsche in the same manner as posted ask above

Cool photo I thought was worth sharing.

Messy garage is messy, but we're getting somewhere!



Cleared out enough room to get some work done on the E46. Still have a stove, and entertainment center to get rid of which will open up quite a bit more space.

A few key pieces need to get moved into the house/put into overhead storage which should open up enough room to keep the 2002 in the garage while still being able to get work done on other projects. I plan to keep that one bay open at all times. No slow moving projects. Especially not going to let that happen to two bays, but you know how that goes sometimes.



Need to get the "fab" corner cleared out so I can set this second table on the ground and utilize some table surface space properly. Cheers. Lol #ghetto



Just some random shots to show the chaos.

Paolo thats going to be quite the setup once you clean up the mess!

I should post a pic of my small one car garage. Its a practice in maximizing every possible inch

[kid325e]

Yeah you should!

Good thing is, i'm pretty much done weeding through things I need/don't need so at this point all the rest of this stuff just needs to be boxed up, stored or both. 2002 gets' towed here in the next two weeks. Pretty stoked to get back to that project.

Let's see what space you're working with! Need inspiration.

All i got right now haha It overflows into the basement haha. Hoping to add a tig welder over the winter. In couple years my parents are moving back to family farm and my dads building a 2 bay garage with lifts all goodies.

Got suckered years ago by my wife, and bought a single car garage home. So, that is permanent tool storage basically.

Fortunately, the house also came with a 2-car carport. Prior to having the house, I thought of carports as a poor mans garage, and well, it basically is. However, it is extremely useful! Cars stay cool in the summer, and dry in the rain. I also have 2 full time project locations if I so desire. Usually my wife gets one spot, I get the other for my project of the moment. For the money a carport costs, now I think it's the best bang for the buck!

Table usually isn't there. Near spot is wifes spot, unless I'm doing an engine swap or something where extra space is needed. Far spot is mine all the time, so I park my driver behind the project, and deal with a hot car.
