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) |

I am very excited for you in tackling your garage project. I am just finishing up the remodel of the home we bought about 18 months ago. All the inside except the laundry room, guest bath, master bedroom and master bath has already been completely redone, even all new Anderson top of the line windows and all new doors, floors, electrical, appliances cabinets, plumbing, tankless heater with recirc pump, insulation, etc. I hope to crank that project up in June and be done by end of August, maybe September.
Once the inside is finished I will begin the next big project, adding a 4th stall to the garage and then front and rear landscape and a complete new driveway, patio, walkways, etc. I will sink a scissor lift into the garage floor next to the new wall with a nice 4x6 window. Really want to do the 4th stall. Wife not so much but grudgingly said OK - it's your money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I considered that a win and just said cool. We will see what happens- my time frame is to be able to begin a year from now . |
