Mark Maras Posted January 9, 2019 Share #3 Posted January 9, 2019 Shelves and more shelves. If one has limited floor space, the only way to go is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted January 9, 2019 Share #5 Posted January 9, 2019 Run power all over the place and consider adding ventilation fans from outside air into the shop, and from the shop to outside. And industrial shelving.... lots of it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted January 9, 2019 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2019 Go to a ReStore shop and buy used all-wood cupboards to get you going. (Sort of like a goodwill but with building materials). You can get great shelves at home depot. Edsal make units and parts to customize nicely. They also sell under Husky and other brands. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Storage-Organization-Shelving-Industrial-Shelves-Units/Edsal/N-5yc1vZcksqZ1po/Ntk-tagger/Ntt-shelves?NCNI-5&storeSelection=2408,2414,2409,2407,2404 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jfa.series1 Posted January 9, 2019 Popular Post Share #7 Posted January 9, 2019 Congrats on the new digs. My long-time dream is a 3-car garage with a small cottage attached.

wheee! Posted January 9, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 9, 2019 It took me 30 years, but I was fortunate enough to purchase a home with triple front garages and a rear 24x24 shop. Having a separate shop is key to a long term restoration, as nothing in that shop escapes the dust and mess accompanying the restoration process. I would never want to work on a car like this in a shared parking space! I know, it is the case for many without options, but I waited an additional year after buying my project car to find a house that would accommodate a happy wife as well as a happy car nut....Also, hang thick poly from the ceiling to create a separate work space to contain some of the mess. I used 6 mil vapour barrier. Good luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House only needs to be be big enough for my bed and a kitchen / bath. I would be living primarily in the shop anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a new tool out for each job because you can't find the one you just used. Leave it on the closest horizontal surface when you're done. Swear to be more organized and fail immediately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwri8 Posted January 9, 2019 Share #12 Posted January 9, 2019 Unfortunately, I don't see much of a difference between your new garage and my old shop so any advice I would offer would easily be refuted. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
