We bought a new house many months ago, and the house needed a ton of work. The "house" part of our remodel is almost over, and now I'm making plans for the garage. I actually can't believe I haven't but more thought into this yet as one of the primary reasons we (or I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) liked the house is it has a big 2-car garage AND a big 3-car garage. And a big yard. Yay me.
Without benches or storage, I think 10 914s would actually fit in the 2 garages (tandem). So... What do you think of my layout plan? Any other ideas below. The most space I've had to work with before this was a 22x20 2-car garage. 1. LIFT - We have to do some concrete work in the garage now anyways, so I think I may put some type of scissor lift in the floor. The ceiling is flat and only about 8.5' or 9.0'. - Any lift recommendations? - What needs to be plumbed into the lift? Just power or ? (I'm just starting my research now) - Do you think the center position is the best for the lift? 2. BENCHES. What do you think? Benches as I drew along the top, or benches in the bottom stall? That closet has to stay there. Any ideas or inspiration? Thanks! -Steve Attached thumbnail(s) |

Just a thought, but the lift might be better served on the wall with the window. That way, the lift would be easier to connect to power without having wires running across to the center. Plus, if your planning an a/compressor, again hoses wouldn't be all over the place and can be routed along that wall. If you ever needed to paint, the outside wall would be near for a fan and you could drape off that area easier. Plus the extra light helps.
I think I might shorten the bench on the "B" end somewhat to store rolling table there. What a great setup. Best of luck with it. |
