Nice shed, wow some killer garages, so jealous. I'm about to down size my four car to a two car garage in a house move, depressing on the garage front.

Here are some pics of my garage project from since last fall. Finally ready to bring the Camaro home from storage to it's new stall. :) Garage is 24ft deep X 28 wide with cathedral trusses to give me 12ft over the left stall for a lift.

Heres some pics of my shop. Been working on it for a little over a year now.
Exterior shot
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5027/img1469.jpg
The shop is 50x80 with 16' sidewalls. Inside to one end I framed in a 14'x16' office, a bathroom with a shower, a utility room, and the rest is a "tool room". All of this has 8' ceilings and I built a set of steps to get up to the "loft". Somewhere along the line we decided to make this look like an old gas station so we covered the wall with galvanized corrugated steel.

Heres a "night"shot

And a shot from the loft, which also shows my "next" project

The 70 Camaro is the next project by the way. The 89 Camaro is my sons car.

On the other side of the wall next to the hoist is a storage area the same size as the shop.

Vegas69 04-28-2009 04:17 PM
I'll be in South Dakota this Summer. I'd probably drink you out of beer. lol Where are you located?

brans72 04-28-2009 05:29 PM
Todd when he runs out of beer you head for his house I am sure he has more then one stash for cold beers.

slenning 04-29-2009 06:35 AM
Todd, I'm in Sioux Falls which is in the southeast corner of the state. When are you coming up this way? Where you headed?

Brandon, I do have a BIG drain but not needed here. The flooding was/is in North Dakota over 200 miles away from here.

Vegas69 04-29-2009 08:16 AM
I'll be in the Black Hills in July. If we decide to head over to Iowa to visit my family, I'll definitely stop by.

I had to build a base for the post that holds the "man cave" upstairs --- so couldn't just have square cut steel - out came the plasma and I did some flames! LOL -- this is what I love about having a real place to 'work'!!

Since these pictures were taken - (I have 100's - LOL) - I sold the project 36 Ford and the Project 69 Camaro... and bought a "done" 37 Ford Minotti that will get the complete re-do. I had 4 cars -- two too many to be able to WORK... spent too much time moving crap around - so now the 56 Nomad can be in the upper garage or in the trailer - and have only ONE CAR in the shed at a time..... I've also finally moved all tools and tool boxes to permanent locations - and built (in one of the pics - dark but you can see it) a huge work table.... and added some more lighting.

Funny -- I live in Seattle Washington area - and had the shed plumbed for Natual Gas.... but I also have 6" of high density insulation in the walls and roof.... sometimes now I have to open the door or roof vent (sky lights - electrically operated) because it's TOO WARM -- and I have NO HEAT... just the lights (I leave them on 24/7)....
Looking at your plat survey and grades. You commenced this very well including the landscaped tree line on the pool side to break up the majority of building back wall. Your selection of trees will not mature to the point that it will overwhelm the pool as covering. Smart thinking on the removal of land to get project lower than grade. If you didnt spend the additional cost to do that you would have spent it on larger trees. You know as well as I how much they would be a piece.
Turned out real nice.

LOL --- Great question!!!

I have a whole "shed" (cause it ain't a shop according to my mother in law!) vacuum cleaner/air cleaner. I have a 2800 CFM Airflow Systems F90.... so think of this as 4 427's sucking thru 750 cfm Holleys at WOT...

I have it rigged up to clean the "air" and also have various inlets that I can use - to, lets say - toss inside a car (a 6" flex hose) and suck up the grinding dust... less stuff flying around is less to clean up. Mine also has a spark arrestor in it... so it can handle sparks without catching fire!

I had to switch out the motor from a 3 HP 3 phase to a 3 HP single phase. Bought this used from a local saw sharpening shop. The beauty of it is - it SUCKS - but returns the air back to the shop - it doesn't exhaust all my nice warm air outside in the winter.

Check this bad boy out!!

And you plumb it around the shop using this stuff...
