For years all I wanted was a garage with an automatic door opener, that I can to pull into, press a button and be inside my house...Well... after I had that for a few years and the novelty had worn off, all I wanted was a heated space where I could work on bikes, cars, or anything else, and with enough room!.. I finally have that, and it's only 2 small steps away from my kitchen. Hey, cars are tough... they can survive outside or under a carport... My cars are not show-worthy... they look just fine with a little beausage. And mowers? rakes? wheelbarrows?... they belong in sheds... NO, people... the attached garage is the ultimate man-cave... You can roll big equipment in and out, track dirt in, hose it off, and yes, even have heat in it (mine has an old wood-stove)... Mine also has 2 huge picture windows, a built-in bowling-alley-turned counter running the width of the garage, great lighting (a chandelier hung by a hook big enough to hold an engine... the guy who built this place was a skilled craftsman).
ManCave One is now operational... Needs some additional tweaking, but I now have piped in stereo music and I'm just about ready to start living out here. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xWjQQf62OP4/Vo_Rz_uGuPI/AAAAAAAAFPs/uTDQ9uvtegQ/s1600/MC1-a.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wKDCKSz4d9s/Vo_R4HW61TI/AAAAAAAAFP0/oYgXznPsdyU/s1600/mc1-b.jpg> Peace, BB On Friday, September 25, 2015 at 1:11:49 PM UTC-4, drew wrote: > > > for the first time in my life, i am moving to a place with a garage. > 1.5ish car size, stand alone, all wood. i have been gifted the use of it by > my spouse, who just asks that we keep camping stuff and luggage up in the > rafters. im very excited, but also in need of some ideas and inspiration > for how to make the space great.
