Show us your man cave, shop, garage.

That’s not on you. I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t want to. I’ve been dragging my heals. Trying to motivate myself.

 

Honestly it looks like almost every other garage that I have seen in Maine oddly enough?
And maybe too much like mine as well?

At least I know where everything is in mine........well mostly.

 

Yup
Originally being from Maine I agree. My in-laws garage and basement look just like that

 

So my friend's dad had a garage that looked like that and he didn't know where to start. He figured since he barely even knew what was in there, he could get rid of most of it. He went through and picked out the stuff he wanted to keep,moving it temporary storage. Then he blocked all but one entrance, set up a table at that one and had a garage sale. When people showed up he said everything was for sale, just grab what they want, bring it to the table and they'll make a deal. His place was empty other than garbage in 2 days and he pocketed something like $3500.

 

Its amazing what unorganized people accumulate. I’ve been scoring on used garage stuff these past few years mostly for free. Usually, there are 2 or 3 of the same item because they lost/misremembered where the original said item was located. Many items I take and regift them to people that need them, always giving credit to the person giving it away.

 

It's a mess but sh** gets done here.

 

You still have almost two decades on me...

 

No man cave...but here is the shop side of my Shop Home(Shome)

 

The reason I don't do most of my own work is because I am lacking this area...i have dirt to work on . But my next house will have a good size garage and a LIFT!

 

I have been renovating our house for a few years so always have spare dimensional lumber kicking around. Here are some easy and cheap upgrades IMO

 

Oh pull up bar too!

 

I like that extension cord.

 

Thanks me too haha. 25’ I can run my 110 welder off the end without issue

 

I'm cool with earthquakes. I don't even like wind so a tornado or hurricane would make me miserable.

 

Yeah, I have an apliance cord with a 4 square box and a quad on it. We use em at work all the time.

 

You'd hate it here. Its windy almost every day. If its warm in the spring, its windy as hell.

 

Here’s mine. I get more work done in 30 minutes in my garage gym than most people get done in an hour at most commercial gyms. And that doesn’t include the driving time that I don’t have to do. Doing bench press, belt squats and trap bar shrugs today. All the equipment gets stacked and piled up inside the power rack when I’m done so we can pull the cars inside the garage. I can blast whatever music I want and never have to wait on clowns curling in the squat rack. Plus, my kids are starting to get interested in lifting, too. Win/win.

 

That's a code violation. NEC 110.26(a). Must have 36" working space in front of a panel.

Other than that looks awesome!

 

This is my shop. 36x24

 

36" wide (side to side), or 36" in front of it (from the door of the panel outward)?

 

Very nice. What is your general location? My space has to be heated and insulated.

 

Front.

 

This is goals

 

Can agreee

 

36 across the front... 3 10' doors across

 

I bought in a less desirable part of the city to get a heated, insulated garage with 220v.
This is an easy and awesome garage upgrade for anyone to steal. Store all your long, awkward stuff up top and lift almost whatever you want from either end. Each corner is tied into 2 roof trusses, with a worm gear pully on one end and an ATV winch on the other.

 

My man-cave at my previous home before moving to Alabama

 

i'd post my work area but i wouldn't want to send @T-Rex266's OCD into a tail spin...

 

I'm in Southern York PA. This pic was taken last year. I have since hung foam board insulation and drywall. We use a propane torpedo heater in the winter months, it holds heat pretty good... Though I do need to insulate the ceiling.
