Let's see where the magic happens *garage photos*

Now that I am situated in my new home and am getting ready to bring the e21 there as well, I wanted to turn what was once a sun room attached to the garage, into a workshop. Plans are to take out the windows and make it a solid wall so no one can see in anymore, build a worktable and eventually insulate it and drywall the rest. One of the cool parts tho is that most if not all the wood will be recycled and cost me zero dollars. My dad is currently rebuilding his backyard deck (where the 4x4s and 2x4s will come from) and my brother just replaced his flooring in the living room with carpet (where the table and shelving tops will come from). I started out measuring the area and modeling the room layout in my 3D program I use for work. This is what I came up with.

Next I demolished a storage box that was built into the wall making room for part of the table.

First section almost done framing.

First section done framing and ready for the tops. Second section almost done framing.

Its getting there. I'm pretty excited!

If you need a hand just send me a PM. I am close and willing to help

Very cool Dave! Can't wait to have my own in-home shop and bonus points for reusing materials! Gives it great character.

Looking good. I like the planning/thought going into this. It will be what you want and less work down the road.

Thanks! I will definitely let you know if I do!

Looks great, I also used a 7x11 porch as part of my one car garage to increase useable shop area.

Thanks man! I figure why not turn something that wasn't really used into something very useful, you know?

Thanks Chris! Yeah, you will for sure know its reused materials. I was thinking about painting it so it all looks close to the same, but maybe I will let the character of the mismatched wood stay for awhile.

Signed the lease for the shop on Wednesday, 1200 sq/ft of a place to call ours! I am extremely excited to have it over the winter, as it has heated floors!

Bathroom, high ceiling, and large garage door are all a bonus!

I will be getting pictures up once we start moving things in.  

This sounds epic with heated floors. I am officially jealous.

This looks awesome, reusing materials and building on your own is where its at! Hats of to you sir, keep it up, I cant wait to see the finished product!!!!

I got fancy with my GoPro the other night. Wish I had something nicer then that and my iphone... But everytime I save money towards a camera - it gets spent on car parts.

[Jdesign]

That looks epic!^^^

Wow....I haven't updated in awhile.

Got the inside insulated and the upper haf painted:

And after a lot of cleaning and scrubbing, I moved most of the stuff from the attached garage to the shed.  This is the first of many truckloads.

I'm getting an insulated door put in, and I'll be hanging a small heater as temporary to keep the space above freezing for the winter.  The wife wants a bathroom in the basement, so that will be my winter project, instead of finishing the inside of the shed.

[YoungCR]

What insulation did you go with?

I may have something to add to this thread shortly....

Thanks! I love my garage, just wish there was *alittle* more space for a second project (but if there was, I think my wife would claim it for her car).

Closed cell spray in foam.  Worked awesome and really firmed up the flimsy by nature steel shed.

[Bassboy3313]

Getting closer to being done. Still going with the all recycled materials, even the cabinets are recycled from another source.

This is where I get stuff done.

Latest addition to the shop wall, bought a genuine BMW ///M banner. It was kinda of a pricey impulse buy but I think its pretty sweet.

Old thread back from the dead!!!

But I spent a ton of time cleaning, fixing and rearranging things in the shop last night. I took some pictures but cant upload until later. I guess Im just commenting as a reminder for myself.

Also installed a Monitor that was sitting around for the surveillance system and bought $100 worth of foam mats from Harbor Freight. Something I would suggest everyone to do if you stand working on your car more than 20 mins.

Did all this cleaning and rearranging on Sunday. No euro in this garage, boo.

Also Jason I agree those mats are nice, just make sure they can’t slide on the concrete. I’ve done some splits before by accident lol.

Already did the splits a bunch. I need anti skid mats now.
