Here's one that's probably been done here before, but I haven't seen it: how about sharing your garage pics? After 25 years in our old farmhouse, we finally decided to tear down the old detached, single car garage (and remnants of the summer kitchen from back in the day) and build an attached 3-car garage. The drywall is now done, but nothing else inside. I'm sure folks here have some sweet garage setups in terms of shelving, cabinets, workspace organization, etc. Care to share some pics? I, for one, would enjoy seeing them and maybe get some ideas to boot. Thanks!

Garage Pics?

Oh, that's so nice! You are very fortunate!!!
I bought a house 17 years ago that had an oversized, over-under, 2-car garage... that is, it has double-wide bays above and below. The cages are in the upper garage, but all the toys... my 3 R*s are in the lower garage below. it's a very fine set-up and one of the prime reasons I wanted to buy this place. As for pics... I'm not too technical, but I can try to get some posted, if it matters.

After returning to The States, my wife and I got a sweet deal on a house in a small town near where I grew up. No garage. 10’x12’ metal building for storage and my R. This year, it was planned for me to get a shop. We had a baby daughter instead. Hopefully, I will get a scaled down version of the shop I had planned.

We were blessed enough to get into our forever home early in life (late 20’s) and I couldn’t be happier with the garage situation. We have an attached 3 car where my wife parks. We also park an additional car, 3 motorcycles, a dirt bike, and a quad in there. In addition to that we have a detached 24’x48’ shop that has a tool room and a reloading room inside of it. I also put a 9k lb two post lift inside and wood stove. It also has a lean-to that runs full length along the 48’ side of the shop. Additionally it has a 24' by 12' storage loft.

You're going to want some work benches, i made this over the summer. The best thing about making it yourself is you can customize it how ever you want. This bench is a little taller 'cuz i hate bending over!2 Photos2012 Road Star Silverado S

No inside pics of mine, you wouldn't like the mess anyway.
The bad part: the incline going to the garage is STEEP. and it's off an alley that's also steep.
No level surface in front of the garage at all.
It's steep enough that none of my friends with bikes will park on my driveway. I do but I'm used to it.
The good part: I have a 2.5 car extra deep garage with 2 bikes + my Jeepster Commando in it AND the original 1901 barn to go with the 1901 house is still there.
It's not huge at 16' x 32' inside but it 2 stories plus another 1/2 story wide story so I have a ton of storage.
The other half of the top floor is open space so 1/2 the middle floor has a 20 foot ceiling height.
To find that on a 1/4 acre city lot is pretty rare but to buy it on a Short Sale foreclosure on the cheap is almost unheard of.

I built my garage in 1998. 22x30 all that I could fit in the space. Storage up stairs, cramped but held 2 cars and 2 bikes. The blue bike is not mine just showing the interior. Your addition looks great!! note this is my garage not my shop.2 Photos

Finally got around to doing some organizing over the Summer and I thought I'd post a few pics to bump this back up again. I'd still like to see any garage pics folks are willing to share. I didn't do anything special or unique - installed four sheets of pegboard, built a couple of workbenches, and hung some old cabinets - but it is great having some storage, workspace, and organization.

Still in the process of organizing mine. Pic with the cars is when we first moved in. Next 2 pics are current day. Sold El Camino, Monte Carlo is outside, bikes are in (didn't have them a few years ago), kids who have gone back and forth to college somehow manage to leave stuff in the garage, and holiday decorations somehow never make it back to the shed across the yard.
Needless to say, I've been back and forth to the dump and donation center a few times. I want to get a home gym and i definitely need more shelving and a work bench. I also want to finish the walls and get more outlets installed plus better lighting.

The running joke at our house is that in my perfect world the garage is bigger than the house. Seems we never have enough room for our toys. I have access to a heated garage/shop at my dad's but want to build something at my place where I can do some teardown type work over the winter months and not miss riding time. Hopefully one day soon.

My messy 2 stall with 30 years of accumulation of tools in 6 rolling chests and a 4x6 steel welding table. Hard to keep clean when it's stuffed.
There's a MG under the pile on the right. Grandma's car gets the left half. She will move it out during the day but hates it when a project extends overnight.
