It's not one of the "garage-mahals" on garagejournal but suits me fine. I waited 25 years to have my own detached garage. 24x28 with walk-up loft. Have been thinking about a MaxJax since the posts are removable.

White car & green car were parked in front of it and have been getting all the action.  Good girl started right up though - love that! The only one that gave me trouble was the 97 Hawk with a dead battery. Not pictured are the 68 OHC-6/3spd and my Mom's 93 GP.

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… Outside view:  View standing on the loft above the garage/shop  Here’s a quick rendering I threw together to help visualize the layout: -Roof & Loft floor  Tony

I want a big garage too, mine is only 28 X 32 with an 8 foot ceiling. I do have a TV stereo & a fridge in it with a little seating area, but when I built it I thought it was big enough for what I needed at the time, but as soon as I got all the tools & stuff in i I almost ran out of room for the cars..............

Got a lot done this weekend! 5-1/2" of foam around the perimeter, electric service mounted, two layers of vapor barrier tarps, gravel leveled & compacted. Leftovers from the stone wall were pushed off the back slope and the wall was backfilled & wood chips spread. Got the utility trench back filled/covered and the pad for the compressor shed on the back leveled.
The rental toy/tool.....vapor barrier.....filled & compacted.....done. Today I moved out the Judge to take the GT-37 to my daughter's Field Hockey game so I took the opportunity to snap a pic.

Had a nice 3 car storage garage, and when nest was empty it was time do more and get a refill.
So, what better project than to reroof garage with a taller wall inside. It was a project that I wanted to do at some point when I first started collecting these roundport puppies.   Stack them up on top of a 22x33 garage  Now I have my drivers below the ones that see little action...

When I built the home that we stll live in 34 years ago I moved from a one stall to a two stall garage and thought I was in heaven. Before long that feeling wore off and the question of what to d about it arose. My choice was to build on to the back of the existing two stall with another two stalls. I have a 16' insulated over-head door seperating them which allows me to easily heat the rear area.
 I built floor to ceiling cabinets to keep everything out of sight (in theory). At first I used an epoxy paint on the floor but wasn't happy with it so I used ceramic tile. It has been down for 4 years now and I'm very pleased with it. To make it mine I cut in a "bird" in the center with a 3' wingspan.  It does get used as a shop.  Of all the remodeling I have done to the house over the years, this project was one of the most enjoyed. I wish I would have put in the in-floor heat system and of course made it bigger but other than that it is working out great.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
