Default Lets see your Garage/ Shop setup

I have been thinking of fixing up the garage. I would like to see some pics of how everyone else has it setup. I want to have counter space but not be in the way. I have a 2 car garage that just about only fits my truck. I seen in the sears catalogue a butchers block bench top that folds down out of the way, That is what I will end up building. Also saw the wall organizer that looked pretty cool. And of course will be hand painting the Houston Texans, Astros, Rockets, and UT logos on the walls.

Very nice garage. I wish I had more room out in the garage. I told the wife that I want another house built on a piece of land so I can get my 3 full size car garage. Not this mini cooper type garages they build now. Lol. In due time but for no I will do what I can with what I got. The lights are going to be a must I see. Did you wire them up yourself? I was thinking of wiring them so I can plug them up when I need them. Do you have a breaker for the compressor or is it off the wall outlet, I have a little guy of a 20 gal so Wonder if I should get a seperate breaker. Very nice garage Corey. Is that your first time building a tranny?

I have a 2 car carport for vehicle storage.



At the back of my property there is another 16x30 building for storage. I converted half of it to a chicken coupe though.

My office is 2200 sq ft, and I only use about 900 sq ft. Unfortunately, it has no roll-up door, and no where I could put one that is accessible to a vehicle. The plan is to section off a large chunk to setup a wood shop. My Grandfather was a cabinet builder and restored grand piano's. My Dad knows how to do both but has no where currently to teach me.


Ultimately, I would love to have a bigger garage, but beats where I started.

I sure did build a lot of trucks out there, and rebuild a ton of wrecks. Including these 2
