YoungCR Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Finally I have a garage to call my own!! It's nothing special but I'm surprised by how much stuff I've been able to put in here and still have room to work. I'll be tearing into the car starting next week as I finish settling into the apartment. Car pulled 1/2 out so I have room to work up front My E28 parts collection Work bench Overall View with car pulled in Its tight but I can't complain. Will be nice to work on the car slowly with no rush to get things done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Looks good, I like the shelves, gotta have high storage in a small garage. I'll try to get some pics on here of my garage shortly. I have alot of storage up high to keep stuff out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamRod E28 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks for the offer man but I traded off the 944 for something more reliable and moved to where I'm only about 5 mins from my shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmo69 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've got 2 garages both 24 x 28 but one, the one without a partition wall is full of everyone else's stuff. Boats, a DSM and all the yard stuff. The one I get to wrench in has a 24 x 20 area for cars and an 8 x 24 shop for tools, work benches and storage. Unfortunately it's packed full of $hit I should probably throw away and straighten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 This last weekend we got the keys to our first house! I couldn't be more excited! The garage is 24x30 with a wall heater and insulated ceiling with great lighting and storage up top. It's wired for 100 amp and the floors are finished already. After this weekend we will be completely moved in so I will get some better pics. My plans are as follows:Clean up wallsBuild more shelves and storageAdd air compressorReplace one openerNew Doors DrLeadFoot and I love my E39 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Moved into the new shop over the weekend in Sun Prairie. Very happy and excited as I'm finally in a space that fits my needs! Moved both cars over and the random parts I had in storage at the old place. At the end of the month I'll be moving all my parts over from the garage when I move into my condo also. New space is ~1350 sq/ft with office and bathroom. Entire unit has heating and A/C which is gonna be awesome All my parts will be stored above the office as there is about 7ft between the ceiling and roof. Hoping to have a lift in before winter which will most likely go to the left of the bathroom. Below is a pic with the cars in. my shop mate has a Neon bandit race car which is a stock, unmodified, front wheel drive only 4 cylinder class run at the circle tracks around here. I love my E39 and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Looks great! I will have to visit when you are settled in! I'm jealous that you have height for a real lift lol YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm jealous that you have height for a real lift lol Look forward to seeing your garage too! Jealous that you can walk right out your back door and wrench.

You can do that on the inside or outside, if you do it on the inside you can hang drywall, on the outside you can cover it with vinyl siding. I added 1.5" foam (r7.5)to the outside wall, which faces south, of my attached garage when I replaced the wood siding with vinyl and it made a nice difference. You may end up with condensation issues and everything always being damp with just the concrete. It would also be easier/cheaper to heat.

patsbimmer1 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I like to think that I am capable when it comes to most DIY stuff and I am definitely adventurous enough to jump into most projects with 2 feet... With that said it is always nice to have some guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important notes- It has a 24/36 heated pole shop that is nearly brand new, and it has a 200 amp service.
