Post your garage pics and dimensions
Post your garage pics and dimensions Hey. I am looking to build a garage soon and was wondering what everyone has and enjoys. I am thinking 40x40 with a 10-12 ft of it in a seperate section to store cars. Here is a drawing. Please post any pictures and show me yours. Also any help on mine would be much appreciated. The side section is what I may expand as i know Camaro doors are SO wide.
Thanks
Chris

Thats cool. I'd personally make the storage section about 15' wide so you can also have room to move around the car while its sitting, especially if you decide to add in a drain and make it into a detail station latter on.
If you want, I mess w/ AutoCAD and can do some other stuff for you, just shoot me dimensions and some of the things you want, and I'll see what I cant work out tomorrow.

I have a 2400 sq ft garage/shop.30x80 with 12 ft ceiling,8 inch concrete floor,240 electric,water and a wood burner for heat.My brother helped me build it and with some favors I pulled in on the material it was a bargain.We put it up for half the price of the bids I got from 3 contractors.I'm insulating half of the building now so I can have a comfy place to wrench this winter.

There's a book out called like "Dream Garages" or "Worlds Best Garages" has people from Jay Leno to Jerry Seinfeld, some other actors and then just some rich *******. There are some pretty cool places, but it makes me sad being I dont have any of that

Thats exactly what I wanna do as far as the detailing part. I like what I have, but move the large door towards the center and make the small section larger.
Thanks for everyones help!!!

Damn, I would kill to have a garage as big as that drawing above posted. That would kick ***, I could store all kinds of projects inside 
Maybe my next house. I've got a 3-car right now, but only two cars fit in there with all my tools and workbenches/shelves etc...

Garage pics. I just build mine about 2 months ago. its 24 wide by 32 deep. I put in 8 foot tall doors also. I love the extra depth Also I just finished painting the concrete with the epoxy you can buy at home depot. Worked out very nice, except for is slipper as hell when wet.

Mine is 24' wide by 28' deep with about 9.6' foot high ceilings. It has two 10' garage doors in the front and then a side and rear entrance doors. It also has a side window. It also has a drain in the center of the floor and a hose connection inside teh garge. It's pretty nice for an attached garage. I'm planning on coating the floor sometime next spring.

I didnt get finished w/ it, but I can do some pretty cool ****. I did a 15' section with the partition wall being 4" and a 3' door towards the back. Centered up the big space door and made it a single.
If i can ever figure out how the hell to convert the files into jpegs i'd send 'em your way. I can give you a base floor plan, then insert it into Sketch Up (a 3D modeler) then put up all different types of textures along w/ colors for the exterior, interior you name it. I'll tinker w/ it some more this week and get back to ya.

We dont mess w/ AutoCADs modeler. To me, Sketch Up is a better modeling tool. Ive tinkered w/ O2C and Renderize Live but those suck in comparision to Sketch Up. If I had the time to learn 3D Max or something like that it'd be really cool, but I dont have the pantience to learn that. But w/ SketchUP I can insert the floor plan in as a dxf/dwg then just connect the faces and extrude everything and all i'd have to do is slap on a roof which would take all of 5 mins.
I'll just have to tinker w/ it some more. Im in my last semester so I dont have much else to do during the day.
