Well then, guess that's what I get for skimming over everything lol. But still AC is nice.

I don't have a garage, but here's my shop. It was the first structure the wife and I built.
It's called cordwood construction.
The inside is 16 feet across.
A friend of mine deigned the roof.

That is a cool little shop Joe

Must be nice to live in the middle of nowhere. I'd abuse no man's land.

Grounds maintenance would be a PITA though

I need to do something to my garage. It's a disaster right now. Now that my wife gave up on it for parking car. She's not getting it back! But already my trike and go kart are taken up too much space... Wish I had a big garage or shop. My coworker is out in foothills and has a huge garage, parks his boat inside with room for lots of toys. Need to get out of the city! I miss the mountains and fresh air

Those are cute little workshops you guys have there but my garage is 84'x50' inside dimensions with 14' walls with a working crapper, shower, hot and cold running water. Too bad I can't fit another thing in it, the go kart, lawn tractor and trailer all sit outside.

Sat the 22nd of Oct is the day (and night) for the machine gun shoot.
It's the largest in the country, and makes all others look like child's play.

Sounds fun and expensive. I'd be behind Ma deuce all day if I could.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but there's a guy who comes out almost every year with a minigun, and a few pallets of ammo.
That puppy loaded with colored tracers at night is a sight to behold.

You want to talk expensive?

So to you guys, what are the important things in a garage as far as tooling goes?

Angle Grinder, and a Oxy Acetylene torch.
Both are so totally versatile.
