Nothing much. Two Stalls with a work area to the side. We also have a large 2 car garage attached to the house.

I'm with that. I'd use it without a second thought. Knocks the wind off you, keeps you and the car dry and doesn't let the snow pile up on the car. I'd use it through the whole year, not just winter only.

Do as I say, not as I do. Isn't that the way it always is.
Mine is nailed down with 18" bits of rebar hammered in at an angle. I close the door, it zips shut, when it's windy.

I would totally rock that and probably camp out there and roast some weinies occasionally. When I lived in Redondo Beach with my 1 1/2 year old baby 97 blk/blk LSC, I had NO garage or cover. I would have killed for that!

Man am I jealous of you guys..
I have a 2.5 car, 1/3 of it is made into a seperate section/room. Still enough to work on the ol' girl though.

I have a 2.5 car in back but the driveway is gated half way down and not worth the hassle of parking in.
Whats that mean?

I never took a pic in my garage cause there was never enough room to get a decent pic. I had it packed with Big Blocks, Hemi's, SBC's, EJ's, Dana 60's, Rims, '60 Biscayne parts, '39 Plymouth parts just to name a few
I can't really even get a pic of the 2 bay doors without something in the way. At least we sold off this damn Airstream but now there is an SL taking up that bay in the garage

It's nice to see some working shops.
Mine doesn't look like it has a Lincoln in it, but there's actually a couple of pieces there. I wanted to measure ride height at speed for the German car (to test my front splitter and wing settings on the track) and the best/cheapest way to do it turned out to be the ride-height sensors from the Lincoln Continental (95?) air ride system. They feed voltage into a data recorder, and I can see how my aero stuff (which isn't on the car in these pictures) is generating downforce.
But I came here to post some pictures of my suburban two-car garage, which I put it together with a pretty low budget. I learned as I went, doing all of the work myself -- including setting the tile and digging the pit for the lift.
The total budget, including the floor, cabinets, benches and lift was less than $3,500. Everything you see is second-hand, re-purposed or home-made.
I do automotive work in it, and also some carpentry and metal fabrication.
I also made a website for it: http://www.12-gaugegarage.com
(This is not spam. I don't make any money off of the website and pay for it out of my own pocket.)
Work benches that fold down from the wall:
There is no 911 that's been lowered too much to fit on this lift. And there's nothing to trip over when the car is out.
And it's got its own a video:

And yes, a video just about the lift I put in:
Jack's Garage Lift - YouTube
Is it always this clean? No. Not by a long shot.
But it does go back to clean very quickly -- that's the real accomplishment of it, I think. I finally took the time to work out a place for everything to go when It's not being used.
In practice, it makes a huge difference not having to spend so much time looking for things you've misplaced. I spent years doing that.

Gilby, that's an unfinished house!
Seriously though, back there where the truck is setting, I would have to have a lift there or somewhere in there. Looks nice outside now that it's finished with the siding. Always liked that building since you bought it. Wasn't it last year or early this year?
