ExPo Garages: Lets see them!

Well this is what mine looks like. Yep, just a foundation at the moment. I've got the lumber for the framing on my trailer tarped up for the winter awaiting spring for me to have time to work on it. Its going to be 24x34 with 10 1/2' walls. It will have two overhead doors and a service door and have enough room for 3 cars and a work space when done. Down the road I'd like to be able to install a car lift for ease of work and also additional vehicle storage. I'm hoping to have it all wrapped up by June other then some concrete work for the driveway and drywall that I'll finish up later. It will be great to finally have good shop space again so I can get some of my vehicular projects up to speed.

Too late and too dark to take photos, but here is the plan of my garage.
The left most bay has a rear overhead door to access outside rv parking for a boat, camper, etc. The small storage room provides a heated area in the winter to store paint, glue etc that can't be allowed to freeze.

My garage is too much of a mess to share pictures right now, but I did want to comment on the race deck. I installed about 1200 sq feet of it at work and it is holding up very well and looks awesome! Very easy install... much easier than epoxy especially since we couldn't afford to have the downtime of moving all of our equipment, prepping the floor, waiting for the epoxy to dry etc. We did do epoxy in the next room and it hasn't held up nearly as well. We don't have any vehicular traffic, but moving equipment back and forth on both surfaces and lots of foot traffic.

Here we go. Excuse the mess. Been doing some work over the holidays. It's still a work in progress but I'm getting there. That side of the new extension is still a construction site but I do a bit of shelving and sorting tools when I have the time. Hopefully I'll have my dream workshop properly kitted before I go to the big workshop in the sky.

The piece at the end has been sectioned off and I'm busy setting up an art studio for the other half. The building inspector made me bash open that gap in the wall. I'll drywall it closed when the coast is clear.

Total size is 19.8metres by 6metres. And I rent the garages next door as well.

Mine is a work in progress.
The first two are my present shop which is my basement. It was much neater before I started building the new shop. Unfortunately it's also cluttered with a lot of stuff from my dad's house after he passed away.

The next photos are of the building I'm putting up now. It's 30x40 modified post and beam construction. The slab on the back will be a 20x20 covered work area.

You're going to need a build thread for this...I can't be the only one wanting more details.:lurk:


Please?
