Post your Garage & Shop pictures!

[MickMc]

Spring is in the air (sunny New Mexico) and I am thinking about building a new garage. Post up your pictures, I need a little inspiration.
I need the inspiration because I looked at 67 SS Chevelle this week end and I really want to buy it. It doesn't need as much work as my 67 (quicker to finish, drive and enjoy) but I really NEED a larger garage not another 67 Chevelle.

Show me those garages pictures....

heres mine..its 44 wide 30 deep ...floor drain ,heat ,hot water bathroom..and a game room with a pool talbe and stuff..but need more room already for the daily drivers..lol

[QuasarZ]

Here you go 40'X40' my money pit.

Mine is only a 25x22 attached. Bigger is better.

80g compressor, fridge, stereo..all the essentials. I had a subbox added. Big help.
The soon to be a powdercoat oven is right there too.

Right after I expoxied the floor. Made the garage much brighter.

Small bench in the corner, but I have a large rolling bench that is strong as hell.
That pole is the bain of my existence. It mocks me daily.

You can't have enough storage. Rack over bay. A hood is there right now. (see above)
There is a smaller on one the other side I store large cardboard. And the up&low valances for the 77. Shelves all over.

[dropit69]

100 mph..is that an fbi building?..i am wanting to put one like that up can you pm me what it cost if ya dont mind me asking..thanks..what part of indiana ya from?

[shmoov69]

SWEET!! Your house looks like it will fit INSIDE your garage!
I got a 32x26 detached garage that is too small for what I need. But, if it were a 60x60, it would STILL be too small! LOL!

I dig that Camaro and a frig is the number one item in every garage.
Which epoxy did you use for the floor? Did you have to do the 'acid etch step'?


100mph...Dam that is great looking garage.
If the house next to it was smaller, you would be god like.

u-coat-it. So far I am very happy. I had to clean the crap out of it. lots of muriatic acid. yeah!

I built a 24'x32' with a 12'x32' 'bonus' room a few years ago and I am finally finishing the inside of it. My wife and I are doing all the work (she loves to do this kind of thing). We are using bead board and pegboard, I'll try to get some pics posted of the outside and inside.

If I had to do it again (and space would permit), I would have gone with a 30'x40' minimum.

After we get the interior walls finished, I want to epoxy the floor. Any recommendations on brand to use? Also, for those of you who have 'finished' garages, what did you use on the ceiling? I am debating using 4'x8' OSB, painting it white (or some light color to reflect light), and using wood strips on the joints to clean it up a bit.

[dropit69]

Curly i used osb on my ceiling no strips..and yet to paint it..but did paint my game room white and it soaked up alot of paint guess you dont wanna put rough side out..lol.gonna put more lights up realized i dont have nearly enough..
The Rev damn nice garage can imagine what the house looks like ..wheww

[curly]

Cool! I was hoping someone would say that they had used OSB and it turned out nice. Maybe a good primer would help with soaking up the paint? I might even try to use a white wood stain sprayed on with the wagner power painter. I have thought seriously about painting the panels before hanging them just to save myself the back pain of painting overhead.

We worked ~2 hours tonight and got another wall complete. Hopefully we will have all the walls done this weekend and have 'stuff' hung back up. I have to upload some new pics to photobucket to post.

[dropit69]

..i ran into some problem cause the osb doesnt always measure 8 feet ..some of mine was like 1/8 inch short of being 8 foot so after butting about 6 sheets together i was almost of the joist so gapping might help then either caulk them or strip them..hope this helps,,

The garage of a drag racer. It's tough to build a car like this in a three car garage.

[MickMc]

Dig that Cash poster in the background.

I gota find me one of those, any idea where I can find a poster like that.

I have a weak spot for drag race Camaros, and yours kind of makes me want a drag car.
Bitchin car, post up some pictures, we love to see craftmanship at work. Show us what you got.

[CHROMAHOLIC]

This is an early picture of the garage (just after construction was finished). I'll get some new pics this weekend to share.
