Anybody care to share pics of there garage or any different ideas that you put into it? I just purchased a home 1 1/2yrs ago and in a couple years I will be building a detached garage and am just trying to see some ideas. I had a football party last week and my house is just not big enough for such events. We also have our first child on the way, and I am already out of storage space so its time to expand! I dont need a big "workshop" area as I hardly do any tinkering or building of anything, a small workbench somewhere will suffice. I need plenty of storage, but would like to keep the area open and inviting. I know it will be two story as I will set up my own personal bowshop upstairs. So any pics or ideas would be great, basically looking to have a detached 2-3 bay garage with plenty of storage and basically an extension of the house for more entertaining area.
Somebody has got to wanna show off there garage! Essentially I am just looking for ideas for down the road. Anything you did you wish you wouldn't and anything you wish you would have done?
I'll take some pix this weekend, during the daylight and post later. I live in a flood zone so it was paramount to get everything off the garage floor. Built shelving high on all three sides. I finished the walls, added insulation, and did my own sheet rock and modding. Took me about 8 months by myself. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

I have a two story barn that I keep putting off finishing. Have the 100A sub and one outlet, lol. I also second Garage Journal. Those guys are nuts about their garages. Definitely consider radiant floor heating. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4.
Radiant floor Heating is an option I have in mind but not sure yet, it all depends on what fuel source I end up using for the garage and the toal sq ft. I actually installed carwashes for 6yrs and we put Radiant floor heat in all of them so I have a little experience with it so that helps! Actually I foundd that site right after I posted this thread. I signed up and am lurking around, it is keeping me busy for sure!
I go on and read for HOURS it's sickening. Wealth of info though Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I'm planning on building a large pole barn roughly about 40x70 in size. 1/3 for machine repair/fabricating, 1/3 for a wood working shop and 1/3 for a man cave.
