I would want a bit more depth, but you have to work with what you've got. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Rev. Doug Miller

Yeah, I really struggled with the 6 foot depth. With my work, I just don't know when/if I may relocate again. So I want to leave the garage with 3 car capacity, since this seems to be a big selling point with people. Plus, with the winters here, got to get both cars, lawnmowers, snowblower etc inside.

Now if I knew I wasn't going anywhere for 20 years, I think I'd bite the bullet and add onto the garage. That'd be sweet.

Rooms always look smaller when they're just "sticks". I know it's not huge, but it'll look bigger once the wallcovering is up.

May be a little tight, but there's still plenty room to go nice work. thumbsup

Thanks for posting the progress. It's always fun to watch shop builds.

Sorta like this one, except this window is behind me at the lathe...

My neighbor's garage window looks just like that today, but in her case, it is from 1 of yesterdays 3 hail storms. I have damage to my car, roof, A/C unit, pool, paint, window screens, patio furniture... No big trees down in the area that I could find. JimQuarles
