[jigolbeep]

[SunLrider]

umm..lucky. i'll have to post a picture of my front lawn, toyhauler and enclosed trailer if you wanna see where we work on things. since the move we no longer have a garage...

luckily the toyhauler has a good furnace for wintertime work

[Raptor8]

nice place! you appear to even have a 'hide from the wife' or perhaps a 'man cave' upstairs! AWESOME!

Mine is nothing so elaborate, and I still have extra junk [from moving and being the family storage unit too] until I get all my floor space back... will post a pic when I am not ashamed of it LOL.

The wood stove out there has come in really handy!

I don't have anything special, Just a 2 car garage.

Is it mean that I make Kristin park her car in the snow so our toys have enough room?

[Raptor8]

yeah Mike I wanna see THAT happen! hahahahahaha:yes:

[Stoopidbot1]

It already is!!!

[Raptor8]

I never would have guessed that one!

[Stoopidbot1]

She knows here car will be OK sitting in the snow. It takes much more of a toll on the toys.

[Raptor8]

yeah they're usually not safe outside.....hell theyre usually not safe in a locked garage!!!

[Raptor8]

Hey I got rid of about half the junk 'stored' in my garage! It filled up my dump trailer hahaha. one or 2 more trips and i'll have my garage back!

just one rule to save or crap: Have you used it in the last year? If NO den out it GO!

That was my Dad's favorite rule!!!! Always seemed to work 99% of the time to. Also my repair shop is either outside or at Mom's house until I get money saved up for a 3 car garage. Edited November 30, 2008 by BuckBilly

Here is my shop/barn/stables all lit up for xmas.

Here is the main inside area. I am planning on putting in a lift.

I have a 400sqft office/studio in on the lower level.

There is a 1000 sqft 2br 1.5ba in-law apartment on the 2nd level.

[jigolbeep]

Thanks, we really enjoy it. It makes for a very nice and useful "out building". In fact we lived in it for 7 months while we gutted and remodeled the main house. It is all 2x6 construction with 12 ft ceilings and is run off an independent 200amp panel in the main house and has 3 sub-panels. Aside from the man cave HQ it also has 2 stables and a 100 bale hayloft plus outdoor hot/cold shower. There is also a party pavilion and fire pit built down there. We have many parties with loads of guests and no one needs to set a foot in our house. Bring your kids, bring your dogs, stay over if you like, we all have fun and the house stays clean.

Here are some more pics.

There is a lean to on the back.

Party pavilion.

Here you can see both the barn and pavilion in the back behind my quad.
