Any of you have a nice hanger or does your poor truck sit outside all year round? I just built me a nice garage at my house to keep my toys in. Post pix
-
Well, I currently have 5.
My Jimmy is "stored" in my garage/shop/warehouse.

My Burb and 87 R10 get to stay outside of the garage.
The 73-87Chevytrucks.com pickup I am building is currently in my oldest brothers shop along with the captkaoscustoms.com '73 Pickup.

I built a 960 square foot shop behind my 990 square foot house. When I was driving my 84 everyday it sat in hte driveway. Now it has a home in the shop, next to my F-100. Hopefully I will driving the 84 on the weekends very soon.
-
Chris nice shop. I wish I had built a cinder block shop instead the wood framed shop I built. I'm going to Montgomery in two weeks. Any chance I can stop by and buy a T-shirt in person.
Also this the pic I wanted to post of my truck. Sorry for it being dark.
-
Right now mine is just parked in front of the Jeep in the garage. That is a Crew Cab and they both fit in that bay. When we are done working on it it will have the space where the Audi S4 is currently sitting.

Lon, I didn't build it, but my grandfather did, he used to own a bus line years ago and this is what the serviced the buses in. I bought the house/garage when they moved him to assisted living. It is 24 x 42 or something like that, I want to repour the floors to fill the alignment pit in the back and drop the floor for a minimum of 11' ceiling..
Sure, you can drop by and get a shirt, just let me know when.
-
Chris, repouring floors sound like fun. If you like torture. I'm leaving the 17th but I dont know what time, and I'm staying in Mont. all week for training.
I took a vacation day today to finish cleaning my shop and put brakes on my 93 Astro. So far all I have done is read and move the Ford around. I took this pic today for this thread since I didnt have any of the outside.

nice set ups! Here's a few pix of my mostly completed garage...

Nice looking shop! Good aesthetics appeal too. Thats what I need.
-
speechless. can't top that, man.
-
Sweet shop....maybe one day....... :-\
-
I right clicked every single one of those. If you don't mind, i'd like to copy that setup when we finally buy some land out in the country. I know I shouldn't complain, because I have gone without a garage for awhile, but this single car setup blows. I have to offset my truck to one side just to be able to get my skinny butt out the door, and then I can't walk around it. I can't wait until after my daughter comes into this work in about a month....then we'll outgrow this house and start hunting land or one of those older brick basement homes with no garage so I can build my own shop.
-
When I bought my house the prerequisite was it had to have enough land to build a garage. Well it did but I had to build it into a hill and I spent a pretty penny smashing ledge and then building the garage was the fun part. I have a program that allows you to design your own garage it's limited but it allowed me to do a rough blue print of what I wanted to do. I spend more time in my garage then I do in my house! lol I put a new furnace in there and hung it from the ceiling so I wouldn't waste floor space. I also hid all the duct work in the rafters and insulated around it. Nice n cool in the summer nice n toasty in the winter. I also added cable, phone, internet, air lines hard piped every 4' there's a coupler. My only regret was not adding plumbing but I had to draw the line somewhere. Here's how I had orignially done it up. I used attic trusses and 10 foot bay doors though. My foundation is also stepped because it's built into the hill

-
When I look at land it has to have a hill so I can build my garage into it. I wouldn't build a garage without being able to do that. Ground level entry into the second floor.

I will be at the local zoning board next month for a variance for this. Only reversed with the man door on the right.

Yes that is it. I made a few changes but that is pretty close. I will post some pictures once we get started. It should be ready by winter. Got set back by the Zoning police today, may not get approval till August now.

Here is a pic of mine landscaped and i`ll get a picture of it on the inside once its cleaned up a bit.Its a mess right now with all the wagon parts scattered all over the place.

i might have a nicer shop but it looks like you got more know how im the jelous one :-\ :-\
-
30x45, little cramped but not bad, fixing on one end, and jammin on the other ;D
Just put the truck in garage for the first time, didn't think it would fit, had 3/8 inch to spare, lol
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd93/blasturd/trucks/bluefit.gif)
The other end of the garage, sealed off by drop down canvas so you can still drive into that room:

I play drums too, got a set of pearl exports. Keep mine in the basement though. Made a room down there insulated with egg cartons stacked several inches thick to seal out the noise.

Why, are you that bad??? Just kidding, my neighbor has a band, so I get my own personal rock concert everytime I go out to the shop. No complaints here

just being considerate of my neighbors is all ;)

Yeah, I know what you mean. These guys are good, most are, but we have some old folks that complain, and call the cops. The thing is, they only practice during the day mainly, and if it is in the evening, at 9pm it is like they turned a switch off. No noise at all. I live across the street, and cant hear them in the house, and the people complaining are up the street. They have to really be listening closely to hear them. The last time the sheriff came out, he said that if it was 85 decibels or something like that I dont remember, he had to give them a warning. He was cool, we sat at the corner with my decibel meter, and it hardly moved. He looked at me, and said "No problem here", sat and listened to them play for a while, and left. He comes by every once in a while to visit, and that is all. I guarantee the last time I fired up the wifes truck, it made more noise than they do. We figure it is because that isnt their type of music. But like I said, at 9pm, not a sound. We are in the county by the way, so I dont know if city ordinances are different
-
Mine is a 24x24 attached to the existing 24X24 with a 10x20 enclosed carport attached to that. I can point one in facing west and on facing south at the same time and close everything up. Here is the back wall facing south. To the left of the compressor is an attached 8x8 tractor shed.
-
I built the upstairs in my garage to be my band room but since I stoppped jammin with these guys I just made a room downstairs for my geetars here's a few pix

sweeet!!

I am so jealous of anyone with a garage, especially a barn. I have 7 trucks and a one car garage, three of these trucks absolutely can not be outside so I suffer with two tarpsheds. It kills me to use them. I have two trucks in storage for the winter this year elsewhere. As for my garage I make the best of it I can, messy in this pic but normally cleaned up. I over wired it bigtime, lol. I have an outlet every other stud, welder recep, 240v compressor, 100amp 20 space panel filled up with breakers, furnace, a/c, new insulation and osb walls and ceiling, phone and cable flatscreen tv. Managed to squeeze in my toolboxes, a great workbench and sand blast cabinet. Unfortunately it doesn't leave much room for my truck. I had to raise the ceiling height and replace the overhead door to a larger one when I moved in and my truck still clears by 1/8 inch so I have to go in and out slow. I need to move bad!
-
Definately Envious of all you Guys, including Dune Digger!!! I got a couple of parking spaces, none of which am I really supposed to do anything to my car or truck, unless an absolute Emergency :-[.... My Wife thinks I'm Crazy, when I told her I will have my 4 level(not including the Storage Basement) Dream Shop someday ;D
-
dunedigger i love that truck under the tarp man thats sweet

I play drums too, got a set of pearl exports. Keep mine in the basement though. Made a room down there insulated with egg cartons stacked several inches thick to seal out the noise.
Those are my drums, but I play guitar, lol. I got them really cheap, and it saves our drummer from having to haul his drumset over every time we jam. I dabble with them occasionally, though. The next time we jam, another drummer is bringing his set, also, so we're going to have two drummers playing at the same time, oh boy, gonna sound like The Melvins. :o
-------------------------
Nice guitar collection, and guitar room, VileZambonie!
-------------------------
I couldn't live without my garage/jamroom. It's like my fortress of solitude, even though it's loud, lol.
I still want another garage, soon!
-
I keep my 84 in the garage at my house most of the time I do some work on it here but most of the work is done at my father in laws shop. Heres a picture of my garage its kinda messy it has all of the kids outside toys in it.

Heres the shop where I work on it at. Not much going on in there now except I am lowering my sons radio flyer wagon and putting a spring over straight axel on it. If you look to the right you can see my model A pickup.

I love the wagon!!
What are the plans for the model A - RAT ROD? 8)
I am looking for a rat rod project ;D
-
I still have to put the handle back on the wagon but other than that it is done. I am going to rat the model A but it is not going to be real ratty. I dont like them when they are over done mine is going to be more traditional with either a flathead or a 283 sbc.
-
i like all the garages! i wish i had a place to put my truck but i dont :-\. there is no room in the garage because of the harley so it sits in the driveway.
-
Hers is mine, it is 30'x35' with 12' ceilings, 18'x10' door and 10'x8' door. Other one is 27'x30'. My Dad wanted a place to work on is cars and I had the room, so we split the cost on the new one.

WOW!! :o I wish I had your guy's money. I've got a one car driveway, and a carport that is so full of car parts that I can't fit my car or my truck in it. At least I've got a 10 x 12 workshop behind the house for all my tools and machinery.
-
nice garages!! right now mine lives next to the wood pile, soon i will be buying a house with garage. actually, i am just looking for a garage with a kitchen, don't need the house.

I have just a one bay garage. It ain't much but I make the most of it. Here it is before I got my truck.
(http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j264/mbrooks_photo/garage.jpg)
That's my daily driver (07 impala SS) Here is pretty much what my garage looks like now.
(http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j264/mbrooks_photo/crap-1.jpg)
I have the cab on a mobile cart now, and the box is still on the sawhorses. The chassis is beside the garage on the patio, and the front clip and interior are in my basement.
-
Alas, mine sleeps outside in the rain (or snow)...
Not enough $$$ to build a nice garage right now. Still trying to finish my basement, build a new deck, and finish the (insert other honey-do here). ;)
You guys are making me insanely jealous....
-
Mine sleeps in my open garage ...
I do have plans to build it someday in near future ...
