Man Garage

[Mike]

Check out this floor plan.  Is this the ultimate garage?  I would probably consider leaving a few open bays near the work area for friends, but otherwise it looks good to me!

Is that @Diseazd garage?

[wheee!]

- No bathroom with shower off the garage area

- no lift

- no compressor/mechanical room

- no POL storage or detailing bay......

It's nice but not well thought out

Ummm....hire an architect.

I agree.  It needs MUCH more thought.  Wouldn't hurt to read the building code either.  As it is, it can't be built.  It's unsafe.

 

[wheee!]

As well, I would build a two story to save on floor space and have the rooms upstairs on a mezzanine so you can look out over the cars. Also a drivethru bay with car wash would be a good idea too.

Chris, you killed the excitement!

I think you're giving too much living space and not enough garage space. [emoji12]

But really some of those project garage build threads are insane.

It will add to the bill but you have to find a way to get rid of those 2 center supports, you just know they are going to get hit at some point.  No hoist, no spray booth, no powder coating oven, no pool table? Sell the Countach and you could afford all of that.

stalls are way too small. that is a door-ding waiting to happen. way, way too small if you are going to do any actual work on the car.  one other thing, i dont see the mach 5

Here's mine. It's just about done. I wish it was bigger. Some cars will have to stay in the other garage - 1978 Datsun 620KC, 1975 Datsun 280Z, Fiat Abarth, Mini Cooper S, etc. I have a little more drywall and insulation to do. The left side is a barn area for the horses. The smaller room is a clean room for painting and doing simple jobs. I put 6 4' LED lights in the walls to make it easier to see when painting. The thicker concrete is for a 2-post lift.
