You can see my shop in the background. It's the concrete slab with the bikes on it.

Here's a couple more angles of it. (pics of my friends 81 750k that we're restoring)

Moral of the story: be happy with what you've got, it could be worse.

I came home from my honey moon to my newly done-up garage!

BEFORE (best picture I could find on my phone)

AFTER

My friends got together and had Premiere Garage do my floors, they painted my walls, and put up the cabinets.

I don't drive the Cobra very often so I park it as far over to the right as I can. When I come home from work I park the Trans Am as close to the Cobra as I can so that I have some room on the left to work on my bike. One day I would loooovvveee to have a big shop. But, I am thankful for the area I have now.

Ha ha! That was before the tornado! I have a friend who buys and sells bikes daily.

Great idea for your own bike lift. Nice!

Good to see the T100s making it across the pond.

I tried a Speedmaster recently...

Incase you're interested... Here's the link where I got the idea from.

http://www.bbcracing.com/old/box/

However, I've since added one of those wheel chaulks that you roll the front wheel into and built a different ramp. With the ramp, I've bolted heavy door hinges onto both the bench and the ramp. So when the ramp is mounted, I slip the pins into the door hinges and this prevents the ramp from slipping off. If anyones interested, I can take some more photos and post em up for a visual.

I recently lost the little corner of space I had in the garage of the house I rent a room in to ...get ready... a #$%*ing train set. So now I am digging a driveway into the wooded lot a bought last year and will build a one room plywood and zinc shack and live there while I get water and electricity put in

Nothing like a good shop photo, will have to take a few for the forum if there really interested.

roy, are you talking to yourself?

Gordon · « **Reply #437 on:** July 28, 2011, 11:38:08 AM »

New house, new (and bigger) shop!

I had to leave the beer fridge behind in Denver. Not enough space on the truck.

I'll take care of that soon enough, though. I had to buy the new air compressor first.

Thanks. I despise clutter, especially in any work or hang-out area. I've made use, as much as possible, of the walls, shelves and attic, so when I want to sweep or wash the floor it takes less than a minute to move the bikes and other stuff out to the driveway.

Looks nice Gordon! Is it a three car? How many cars do you keep in it??

Gordon,

Your new shop appears to be missing the fridge that you had in your old shop (Reply #1 of this thread). Do not all shops require a fridge?

It's a two car (with some extra width on one side), but in name only. No cars allowed in my garage unless they're being worked on.

Gordon, i can't believe you left the beer fridge behind..!!!!!!!!! What type of Texan are you.? It should have been priority number 2 between the bike and the BBQ...........Then the wifey and tin lids......

Priorities man, priorities......

Yeah, that's it, character.

My bikes are never dirty, rusty or greasy. It's called a "patina".

your gonna be jealous of my shop Gordon that small patch of cement under my hammock is slowly growing every weekend soon I'll have a real driveway too... then walls and a electricity, water and a fridge stuffed with lonestar beer, if I get really crazy I might even coat the cement with some of that fancy shop floor stuff. I'll keep the hammock up for anyone that's coming by needs to crash for the night.

Cut me some slack here!

I left the least expensive and most easily replaced appliances behind: The electric clothes dryer, the free air compressor I've been using for 8 years, and the garage beer fridge. I already got another very nice, used dryer for $75 off Craigslist, and a brand new, 6 gal Porter Cable air compressor for $100. The beer fridge is lower on the priority list because the kitchen fridge in the new house is much larger than we've had before and the garage is connected to the kitchen, so the walk is much shorter.

Good to see you have a plan....
