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.

Basically, it's an overall "white" scheme with some multicolored 80's graphic stripes around the middle.

First time in it this morning in I can't remember how long! Need to take it our more!

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.

Missing - yes, going - no.

The round ports are staying, the D-ports need to go!

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:

Here’s a quick rendering I threw together to help visualize the layout:

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.
