Show your garage!

Let's see what some of you other guys have, mabey it will spur ideas that other can use.

It's simple and useful and I can get my work done even if it's cold out side.

Airing down for wheeling is cool but for working, Grrrrr! :p

I've got some serious cleaning out to do before anyone I don't know see's my garage. That is pretty bad considering I have only had my house since April. Damn cars just consume everything, but I love 'em.

Here's our garage. I'm gonna build a 4 bay with a lift in it one of these days. I also have a 12' x 16' shed and a 1000 sq. ft. basement for more space .

Hmmm, will the Nasty Hoe be completed so I can put my toy (the car) in on my side of the toybox when I get home? And what's up with Bailey? He looks like he is in trouble again...

Just to let you know...that is about as dirty as the garage gets on any given day. Unless there is a rusty Heep in it (sorry Jared), that's about the dirtiest it's been.

Hey Rick I love the stool. If I'm not mistaken that looks like a milk jug and a seat of an old tractor. Thats kick ass.

Hey Dreamr dont be discouraged. one of the most highly modified 4 door explorer's I have ever seen (Joe Deitz) built his entire rig in a small 1 car space, with just enough room on one side to open the door and just enough room in front for a heater. You just have to be creative!

Yeah that is about the size of my garage
It's not so much about creativity as it is becoming a contortionist......
