There are some amazing garages in this thread (and cars too). I only hope to have mine looking as good someday.
I recently bought an old farmhouse on five acres back in May of this year. The main reason I bought the property was the 40X80X10’ farm building for my toys/parts/future projects. It’s divided into a 2-car garage and what once was a wood shop behind it. On top of the garage/woodshop there is about 1000 sq. ft. of storage area. The open portion on the building still has a gravel floor, but as soon as my old house sells I’ll get that taken care of.
My plans are to make the old wood shop into a hang-out with a pool table, fridge and maybe a card table for when the friends stop over for a cold one. Once the concrete goes in the open portion, then a lift can be installed.
Alright…enough talk…
