Ok, I finally decided the reason my truck is not further along is everytime I look for a part or tool to use on my truck I can not find it and get frustrated and give up. Anyone else have this problem??

Anybody have an awesome garage pics that I can see and get inspiration from?? Or has anyone had the same problem and redone their garage where they could find everything?

Here's an old pic of my barn when it was a bit (okay alot) cleaner and when my truck was still in one piece. It's a 40 x 60 and was already built when we bought the house or I wouldn't have a barn to work in.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-08-2003, 04:27 PM

Here's an outside pic.

Man that is HUGE!!!. I will be building an addition on my house soon and mine will be 15'x29'. I can't wait!

dubie · 08-08-2003, 04:55 PM

God damn Mark!!! I wish I had a place that HUGE to work on my truck. I do work on it in our 40 x 80 shop but I can't leave it in there. I am so green with envy!!! I am one of the "maybe next year" guys for a garage. But I will probably never get a chance to build one for myself. I've built plenty of them for other people though.

**Palf70Step** · 08-08-2003, 05:11 PM

I agree with you...Ithink mine would go faster with a nice shop/garage. This is what I have to go with for now...least it is a roof and a place for parts and that....and it now has power and a 220V air compressor system and welder....so maybe I'll move faster.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-08-2003, 05:12 PM

I feel very fortunate to have it, like I said, if it hadn't have come with the house, I wouldn't have it. Wife would never understand the need for something like that - she's a little mis-guided LOL.

jcalisi · 08-08-2003, 05:13 PM

Very nice barn Yukon...

I know what you mean about not being able to find anything. I just finished building my garage so I start working on my truck. The only problem is its already full of crap...

I would love to also see some garages organized in a more methodical way. At the very least more than mine.

*Gee_Emm* · 08-08-2003, 05:21 PM

I have to use my dads garage to work in, mine is full of his parts, note the 3 cabs. I have to climb over piles of junk just to get from one side to the other. We are in the process of completely reorganizing everything as well.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-08-2003, 05:23 PM

Wait til Mike C posts some pics of his place, talk about nicely organized!

miket · 08-08-2003, 06:54 PM

it's not big but it works for now.....

miket · 08-08-2003, 06:55 PM

and the small shop

barn9 · 08-08-2003, 08:45 PM

Not mine, but could you imagine having something like it.

barn9 · 08-08-2003, 08:54 PM

Here is a shot of one of my workbench's. I keep it in order most of the time, and tools are always cleaned and put where they are supposed to be. That way when I need them again, I know exactly where they are.

**old Rusty C10** · 08-08-2003, 09:04 PM

all i got is a cruddy one car thati gotta share with the lawnmower

rennspd · 08-08-2003, 09:09 PM

I noticed you guys had a pic of my garage on here, Here is a pic with my vette chasis ready to go!

Well, we can all dream can't we? hehehe

rennspd · 08-08-2003, 09:14 PM

Of course the pic is too big and will not post, so my Joke is Nooooo GoooD!

gashog · 08-08-2003, 10:27 PM

Here's mine, built it last sping 32x28 and as you can see its already full.

gashog · 08-08-2003, 10:29 PM

The outside.

67cst · 08-08-2003, 10:40 PM

damn gashog and miket--u guys make me so jelious, i hope when im your age im as sucessful as you seem to be, look at those toys...makes me want to cry

miket · 08-08-2003, 10:50 PM

I have paid my dues.....made some good decisions....and some bad ones....trying not to continue the bad ones...

Toys are just toys....you gotta have all the other good stuff in your life to make the toys worth while.

gashog · 08-08-2003, 11:05 PM

Gotta echo what miket said.

67cst · 08-08-2003, 11:37 PM

true mike...what do you guys do for a living?

**N2TRUX** · 08-08-2003, 11:54 PM

I don't have any inside pics. It's still not room finished inside yet. This is on wash day before I sold the crewcab, and bought the 77. It's 3 car wide, and double deep, with a roll up door in the rear too...
