Every now and then I check this forum. There are always questions about tools to buy and stuff, but how about we show everyone else the workspace we're working in?
I'll start by showing you a pic of my garage....
Just's a simple little corner but I like it and it does the trick...simple homemade workbench and my welder beside it on the shelves which hold all the parts...


Your turn...

Garage picture

I haven't figured how to put a picture on this thing so there's no picture . my garage is 50 x 50 with a 9 foot ceiling. For years I wanted a lift but settled for a pit , mine is 6 ft deep by 4ft wide and is 14 ft long. Beats the hell out of crawling around on my back, which I did for years. All it took was a little digging and a little block laying, which I suck at I found, and you are good to go. This makes trans and clutch work a breeze. I cover it by using 2x6 boards which lay on the block flush with the floorand can support any car I put on it so far. I also have a trans jack in the pit to support trans when doing clutch work. My three water coolers do a good job of keeping thing comfortable here in Phx.

My garage was 28x30 with an up stairs wood working shop. It was full by the time i got it built so i built an addition of 28x14 that has an up stairs. This addition is made to look like a 1950s 60s flying A gas station I`am looking for a flying A sign.The big 6 footer i have the post.I would like to post some photos but I`am not sure how.The new part will be for my hot rod and my wifes 65 VW Bug.
It`s now 28x44 and still to small. :rolleyes: :confused:

OK here's my mess, my '41 spent it's 1st year under this(1st pic) when the wind wasn't tearing it apart,I got a few parts off while in here.
Then I got "her" garage cleaned out enough to put the '41 in, & built the extension(galvenized roof,2"x6" rafters,4"x4" posts,OLD PICKET FENCE walls w/blue tarp on the inside) for the Dakota & M/C & lawn mower & etc.
Then bought the Diplomat donor car & it's in the left side of "MY" :thumbup: garage now. So now she doesn't have the garage for yard sales! But because it's about full of stuff I got just enough room for the 2 cars. :(

:thumbup: And yes all MOPAR here!

Personally I think you need to cut back on the toys. So being the nice guy I am, I can take the gas pump and 50's style Coke machine and put it in my garage so you can free up some of your space :thumbup: Heck...I'd even store them in my computer room just to help you out :D

I started with just a 10x10 Royal plastic shed to house all my stuff. Obviously not big enough even to use a miter saw in.

Finally after 5yrs, I convinced the warden that I needed a garage. I now have a 23'x15' heated garage, built solely with 2x6's, fully insulated, only a 40Amp feed for now (till I upgrade the house to 200Amp). 6mil Vapor barrier with 5/8"ths fire-code Sheetrock on the ceiling and 1/2" for the walls. As much shelving as I could possibly fit.


The compressor, managed to squeeze in when I purchased all the Sheetrock & insull, this way the wife did not really see the full cost of it.. :sweat: It is all plumbed in with 3/4" black/galv pipe, 4 drain drops and I eventually would like to put a good dryer at the last connection.

I had this pole barn built a couple of weeks ago the floor is to be poured soon.

Ive been working out of a 20x20 this one is 30x50....I won't know how to act!
This looks great!

Post some pics of the floor (during pour and after) if you would.
What does the concrete floor cost in your area?
