Cool, I called this place yesterday www.andersonent.com and they are working up some pricing for me, you may have motivated me to make the next move in getting a garage that does not cost me an arm and a leg to build.

we have been working on the shop for atleast 6 years and your right we always have something else to add I dont think we will ever really be finished. We did finish are carport setup to cover the SS, boat and Camper so this is the temporary spot for my car until the storage area is cleaned out some more. we painted the 4x4s to match the fence and threw a cheap tarp that we got for free along time ago. once this tarp falls apart we will get a nice one. here is a picture of it all finished and everything parked under it.

well the blue tarp gave up already with the heavy wind we had last week were gonna get a heavy duty tarp this time and add some other little things to hold it down better in the center. the shop is about the same inside we did setup another carport to park the trucks under but we turned it into a paint booth this week while i painted my honda.

looks really good..
i never thought of installing a ceiling fan in my garage.. good idea. sometimes i overlook the most simplest things..

my only unique things are probably my cable tv.. lights from a warehouse..real bright. my friend hooked me up. and i have shelves down both sides of the walls like u see in the Winn Dixie warehouses/Home Depot.. i laid wood across them and i stack stuff on them.
