Still a work in progress..

Here's a couple before and after I put up the tire rack. Nice to get all of those tires off the floor.

that worked out great! that looks like a very nice garage with that bay window.

*edit* is that a piece you ordered or fabricated yourself?

Damn! How slick is that? I had to look at the pictures twice before I realized where the tires went. Nice!

Do you access to the wheels from up top? Otherwise how do you get them up/down?
Do you lug 'em up a ladder? Go-go gadget crane?

btw it looks excellent.

Yes, that's the drawback. I have to get them from a ladder. It's easy with tires that aren't mounted, you just drop them. Mounted ones are a bit trickier. I'm considering mounting a pully.

Here's a shot from behind.

Do you fly radio control planes or is that just for looks?

Is it a bolt in, or is there welding involved?

That's a really cool idea for getting the tires out of the way! Beautiful garage! Anymore pics from other angles? Or the house it's attached to?

I don't have any current ones. I only take pictures when it's clean and there and with a 3 and 5 y/o there aren't that many opertunities. Here's one that shows a little different angle. I have some of the house but I'll have to search for them.

And there's the part that's a work in progress. Need some multifold doors. My goal is to get everything possible off of the floor to make hosing it out easier.
