Let's see some garages

[BGlover67]

I'm about to redo my garage (finally) and would love some ideas.  Everyone knows Shelby folks have the best taste, so how about sharing some pics of your garage, or at least one that inspired you.

Hopefully you'll get some great ideas. Not exactly sure what you mean by "re-do"?
everything for me always ends up being a "work-in-progress" as I've never been able to see far enough into the future to accommodate what happens.
My Pole Building was originally supposed to be indoor parking for the trailer and an extra vehicle... 10 years later, it is jam-packed and has a lift to create double-deck parking 
(I used the rigid foam insulation for ease of installation)

I just meant finally getting around to adding cabinets, painting the floor, etc.  Thanks for the pics!

You planning on building your own or buying and just installing prefab cabinets and such.

Front garage is messy right now - too messy for pictures

New shop is still in the planning stage.

I find what is most interesting in the build is finding ways come up with creative ways for specialized storage and needs I have or may have. Often this is easy and cheap but you need to realize the need before the build since forgetting to include them means that they can't often be added later.

GarageJournal.com is a great/the best website for ideas and that sort of thing.

Build bigger than think you will need, add really nice flooring, lighting and a " man cave" area. Make it tall enough for a 4 post lift. Really nice built in and movable cabinets and enjoy

OK.
FWIW, that's a Rust-o-Leum industrial epoxy on my floor. Almost 11 years old, and - so far - has only lifted in 2 small spots maybe 6 sq inches total. A couple of my cars are pretty leaky, the epoxy has proven to be impervious to any and all automotive fluids.
(The 10 ft ceiling was never intended to accommodate a lift, but it has worked out reasonably well for my limited purposes)

Good luck - and keep us posted

Oh, what I wouldn't give for a 10' ceiling! I'm at 9' 5", and it's killing me!

You'll get no sympathy from me!  I'm at 8'-6" and would kill for another foot!  The only saving grace is that we have room for 7 cars but have to use Go-Jacks to get a couple moved around.

I went with 12'

This is very timely as I just began the process of building my garage.  Up to now I have been keeping my car in my mom's garage.  But last week I had all the trees cleared from the back yard where the garage is to go.  Very exciting.  The most I can build is a 2 car garage and I am vacillating between 24'W X 32'D X 13'H vs. 26' X 32 X 13'.  But the 32 feet deep should give me plenty of room in the back for a work area and man cave area.  I am definitely having a 2 post lift and the 13' ceiling should be plenty adequate for that.  I can not wait to get my car in my back yard!

LOL! Fair enough

I can't imagine that you'd ever be sorry if you went as big a possible? Post some pix as you move along

I have to say this new image posting thing is quite the experiment. Took me about 30 min to get that up. I like the old quick image post must better-
