Let's see where the magic happens *garage photos*
-
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.
sk8 or die

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.
-
Same spot. After many motorcycles were bought and sold. More room for e30 stuff
-
Robert how big is your shop? Are you gonna lay down radiant heat in the floor? Thats my dream set up there.
Ben thats gonna be sweet! Wish larger sheds were available around here. Any plans for lifts?
It is 40x60. No radiant heat. I dislike it for many reasons. I will have 1 two post lift for sure back center. Probably a motorcycle lift. I'm sure I will collect various pieces of equipment as time passes.

Here is the back half pour from the weekend:
(That is my 7 year old daughter, she makes the slab look a lot bigger, haha)
The joints were cut and I moved the stuff from the front of the garage onto the slab. They will be doing 2 more pours, the left and right will be the next and then the center with the drain will be last.
