You're absolutely right. Hopefully it'll be before the car needs a complete overhaul because all of the seals are hard as a rock.

Ah, ahem, it's not really "done" until the lift is installed...

Just sayin'

Nonetheless, it IS a damned nice-looking garage thus far.

That Alfa Romeo has to be one of the best looking car in decades....BEAUTIFUL CAR.

I basically bought my house because of the garage. It's about 25'x25' built with cinderblock, has a flat cement roof and cement I beams. It's very different and had huge barn doors and WWII weapons crates along the wall for storage when I bought it. I'll have to grab photos soon but my garage door is frozen shut right now so I should probably sort that out first ha.

Time to update this thread!! Lots of super nice garages on display. Here's my modest 2 car garage which occupies half the basement of my colonial home. Wish I had more space or a separate large garage or barn, but I'll just count my blessings and be happy just to have a safe place to park and work on my 340i. Being 30 years old it's due for a bit of a refresh which I'll try to get done this year.

Love how organized it is! That's quite roomy for a 2 car garage too

Thanks. Every square inch of space counts!

If I could only learn to put my tools back in the place I made for them

This. The struggle is real. It's not even always the tools for me, just just left over stuff, or stuff for upcoming projects, or just stuff in general. Whos stuff is this anyways?!

Simpler..buy some Permethrin 10% sol. (Martin's, amazon), dilute 19:1 with water in pump sprayer and hit edges, corners and areas of concern. Dries clear, no oil, and lasts. In my area, kills bugs that walk across it, including scorpions. Dog safe.

FYI its safe for dogs, but permetherin is highly toxic to cats.

Well, my garage isn't as nice as some of these others, but it works for me. My only wish would be for taller ceilings so I could install a lift.

diirk · 03-30-2023, 08:03 PM

The shop.
30x40 steel building. Epoxy floors. HVAC.
Needs more insulation. Still pretty useful.

24M3CS · 03-31-2023, 10:26 AM

Anxiously waiting for my G80 CS to cross the ocean so I did a garage facelift last week. Small but efficient! My dream has been to build out a larger man cave/garage but I live in a tight Chicago suburb so space is at a premium. Have to convince the wife to go a little further out in the country!

As I’m looking at more ideas for when I clean mine up a bit more (really just need to do floor) noticed, why didn’t you hang the flatscreen?

then I noticed the Woodward sign

I put the tv on a low stand so that I can carry it out and have it by the bonfire during games and such! Born and raised in metro Detroit (Birmingham) until being replanted in Chicago. Woodward nights in my heart for life!

I'm happy with the QuickJack. It does everything I need and I can move it around easily.
