Let's see where the magic happens *garage photos*
-
This last weekend we got the keys to our first house! I couldn't be more excited! The garage is 24x30 with a wall heater and insulated ceiling with great lighting and storage up top. It's wired for 100 amp and the floors are finished already.
After this weekend we will be completely moved in so I will get some better pics.
My plans are as follows:
Clean up walls
Build more shelves and storage
Add air compressor
Replace one opener
New Doors
Congrats, this looks like an awesome space for a first house. I am jelly!! I only rent, but I have my feelers out for the right garage with a house attached too
Moved into the new shop over the weekend in Sun Prairie. Very happy and excited as I'm finally in a space that fits my needs! Moved both cars over and the random parts I had in storage at the old place. At the end of the month I'll be moving all my parts over from the garage when I move into my condo also.
New space is ~1350 sq/ft with office and bathroom. Entire unit has heating and A/C which is gonna be awesome
All my parts will be stored above the office as there is about 7ft between the ceiling and roof. Hoping to have a lift in before winter which will most likely go to the left of the bathroom. Below is a pic with the cars in. my shop mate has a Neon bandit race car which is a stock, unmodified, front wheel drive only 4 cylinder class run at the circle tracks around here. 
Nice Chris,Congrats! Sun Prairie isn't far from me, as you know. Don't be a stranger and I would love to come check out the new shop when you are all moved in!

Currently trying to buy my first house as well! Hopefully will be moving in this saturday.
Important notes- It has a 24/36 heated pole shop that is nearly brand new, and it has a 200 amp service.
Side note- Square footage of the house is smaller than the shop=MY KIND OF PLACE

Dude that's awesome! That's my goal in the next 5 years is to buy some land and build a pole barn, probably with a built in apartment so I can have my ultimate man cave haha.

I would love a pole barn! We have 1.2 acres and I have already scouted the back lot for a pole barn space. That idea would be years away of course but you can always dream!

As a side note this is where I dream about my garage plans, some of these guys have amazing builds. http://garagejournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7

I love that forum! I have spent too many hours on there.

My playground lol. Its a mess due to some 3000gt vr4 turbo swapping that happened last night, but you get the idea.
Man - access to a lift would make my life a lot easier. I've grown to despise, and for the most part have quit, crawling under the car.
-
My car has been on that lift many a time

Big time congrats! Homo(wner)
Enjoy the awkwardness of waking up for the first time in the new place. Being confused for half a second. Then super stoked the rest of the morning
I just read this(after my first morning)
And MAN you were spot on.
I LOVE HAVING A SMALL HOUSE.(literally 700 sq ft and the garage is over 800)
for reference I grew up in a 4500 sqft house with 10 bedrooms 6 baths. Spent my entire childhood there.
If you ever want to lose something, bring it to that house lol.

So my shed is finally making some progress
Here is what it was when we moved in:
Dirt floor, no power
Here I'm digging the 180' by 6' deep trench to my house to bury water gas and electric last summer
Here is my in floor plumbing work over the last month or so (hand dug trenches):
Here is the prep for the concrete (large center drain dug by the mason):
Pouring the back half concrete Today, hopefully the rest will come next week.
I am looking into insulation and I have to get the holding tank and mini filter bed laid sometime in the next few weeks. I'll probably rend a back hoe for that.

Quite excited and I will have to post pics when we are there, but I am getting a 22x60 shop with a couple of friends (Tim, and Zach) one who is an e30 guy and one who is a machinist/fabricator. I am quite excited to turn some cool stuff out of the shop!
Pictures shall be posted when we move in!

No plans for a lift at this point, just starting with a 1yr lease to see what happens once we are done with school.
