Refrigerator, hm = good idea!
That is one I had not thought about, but I should.

Ok, I am leaning towards a TV (or 2).

Cole_21..wow, I appreciate the offer, but I hate to waste your time. If you want to do to educate the rest of the forum...sure, go for it.

This is an old picture. Since I took this picture, I trimmed the garage out in white and I put concrete all the way across the front. I have plenty of room all around the garage to build any direction I want, but I can take down less trees if I go out the back.

My goals are to get as many cars in as possible and still have them easy to get out a door, so I can drive them at a moment's notice. Maybe set it up like some museums I have seen with a center aisle???

I kind of think now I should have put the garage doors on the ends instead of the sides. Of course, I can put new doors whever I need them. I also want to get a wash bay of some sort.

It is currently about 72 wide by about 54 feet deep. I am thinking I need to be about double this size when I am done.

Chuck

FYI I also have put in 4 in-wall speakers, 3 ceiling speakers and a subwoofer. Should be good for the tunes. And yep putting a subzero refridge/freezer in there too (removed when we renovated our kitchen). PLus putting in a couple of driving arcade games. In case its snowing out and I feel like going for a drive!

Autopia has a good garage forum that may help give you some ideas on lighting, flooring, and such. THey can also give you great ideas for a softwater setup. This is something my father and I have looked into in the past but never came around to doing it.

http://www.autopia.org/forums/forumd...?s=&forumid=42

remember, you can never have enough lighting in a garage!

How about doing a garage that has just one double door? Make the building wide (you have it) and deep. Vehicles will park on the sides of a center aisle leading out to the single door centered on the building. That way you can drive anything in the garage in and out without moving anything and only have one way in or out which would make security easier. Add a single bay on the side for washing and you are set.
