4 914 guys made me very happy today. Steve W, Mike, Piper and Kevin. We moved lift from the old house to the new garage. Kevin even hung out and helped me organize more afterward. Tomorrow I'll get some real pics. I need to find and unpack the camera. The sunset views from this place are fantastic.

No fair, yours is bigger than mine. I want one too! I noticed the AC unit in the front, is it heating and cooling unit?

It's always great to have a good outdoor man cave.
You're just going to need more wall art.

Ummmmmmmm... still seems like a Very Long way for me to have to drive to store my cars. Can you move a little closer please?
Looking good Gints
(Ooooooooo... just noticed the tall door on the right. I can store my trailer there too!)

There's another one (28x30) out back too. That's a swamp cooler for the house that's hanging off the top of the garage.
I need to get over to the old house and get the 220 outlet and breaker for my compressor. I've been living without a compressor for a week and it's driving me insane not having it.

And they say size doesn't matter.
Nice space. Won't be long before you bump up against my mantra: "Nature abhors a vacuum"

Very nice. You even have enough room for a full size beer refrigerator.

Is that the lift from Costco? I was just looking at the ad this morning and voila we have a post about a lift with a teener on it!

Damn, that's big! Here in SoCal even many $5-10million houses do not have garages that cavernous. I'm just hoping for a 4-car some day.

WOOT! Very nice garage, any plans to paint the inside and install 914 artwork before really moving everything in and organizing it? Or perhaps the new house beside it gets first priority?
Gint
Jul 4 2010, 10:00 PM
Thanks all.
Beer fridge will happen in the next year or so after we replace the one we just moved in. As for painting, I don't think so. I don't need a pretty garage, I'm happy enough at this point to have this much room. That Shell Welcome Race Fans banner was from the last CART Grand Prix of Denver. We worked the race via the RMR PCA. It's been laying around my old tiny garage for years. I finally have the room to hang it up.
Lift from Costco: No. I've had this thing for about 8 years now.

Absolutely super cool. Good pictures from Kevin and Henna--or was Henna not available for the big move? Gint, I expect you will be in "hog heaven" with all that space. As they would say in Kiwi land, "Good on you!"

Nice shop. Dang that lift moves easier than I thought. I thought it would have to be dissasembled. Your gonna wish you had painted the walls and ceiling though, course you can always do it with a roller later on.

Jul 5 2010, 04:51 PM
Yeah, the lift moved real easy... after we got it out of the old garage.
Nice place Gint! Now you need another couple cars to fill the space.

Jul 5 2010, 10:35 PM
It's already full. I got all 5 cars in there today, including the truck. Finally got the compressor going again so I could blow out all of the dirt. We're having a minor plumbing problem that's going to have to take priority tomorrow.
