OK.. This project will take a little while, but the first steps (off paper) have been made toward my new garage..
Very exciting to see Stoneshrink's started work on his and that has influenced me to start this thread too. Well done, man. ;)
Basically, the Camaro resto of mine had slowed considerabley.. Other issues, such as working long hours and 6 days has been one major reason, but the other BIG reason is SPACE, or lack of..
I have a spare room, side shed and garage just full of 69 Camaro and other household items and it's just not enough.
You all must know how disencouraging it is to sqeeze into your garage and constantly trip over things that you need but simply don't have the room for.. Not fun. :-\
Keith & Tonya have been here.. They know how small it is..
I still need to have a draftsman draw up detailed plans and submit to council, but at least the ball is rolling here. Coucil have looked at my drawings though, and they are pretty happy with what I want to do. No rejections yet!
The blue ink is my existing 15' x 24' / 360sqft single car garage, while the black ink is the proposed 1185sqft double with hoist, workshop & dunny.. ;D
Second pic I drew at 1:43 scale so I could see how big the garage is in relation to real cars. They are 1:43 scale too.. I'm fitting a 2 post hoist and that's going where the yellow Camaro is sitting.. ;) No more crawling under cars for me. :D
(I'm still considering going another 3' wider.)
Probably not the best pic but that's the cramped little garage I've been working in for the last 6 years. I'm really looking forward to swinging a sledgehammer into that bastard. >
;D
Well, not much to show, but here's step one. remove what is in the way. Trees..
Yay! ;D
