I may even try calling cabinet installers and see what they do with the old
ones they remove. It's worth a shot.

Matt,
That's exactly what I have in my shop, the guy who built mine
(previous owner) used the old kitchen cabinets and countertops. So I've
got my big heavy bench for doing heavy greasy work, and nice smooth
surfaces to work on carbs, electronics and other bits of what-not. I
even had a nice space for my stove so that I can do some small
powdercoating. Plus with under-cabinet lighting, it makes things so
much nicer to work with. Never skimp on lighting when you get to that
part.

Jim,
I think that is my plan. The extended space is actually 10x20 which
is plenty of space for what I had in mind....all my tools, air
compressor, fridge, cabinets, and a workbench. What I've seen at
Sears or similar places is that cabinets and workbenches are
expensive. I'm thinking about building my own or finding someone's
old kitchen cabinets to recycle.

Matt,
I was just in one of those type garages last week..very handy to have
all the roller boxes and such out of the way of where the cars
park..his was probably 24 wide and 36 deep on the long side...so the
extended space was maybe 12x12...room for the tool boxes, bench,
fridge, closet..etc..only thing better would have been 3 cars wide,
like maybe 36 , then that space would have really been usable for the
4th car in a pinch..
I can't tell you how excited I have become over doing radiant heat in
the floor ...if I get a chance to do some new work...that is gonna go
in for sure....no more cold feet...

Jim, thanks for this web site.
I'm in the process of buying a new house so I get to start with a
clean slate for my garage. It's an unusual configuration (at least
I think so). It is as wide as a normal 2/2.5 car garage, but it has
a tandem space. So one side is two car lengths deep. Kind of cool,
but it's not really wide enough for the Chevelle, so I'm going to
make that my work shop area.
This web site is going to be great for ideas, but if you guys have
any ideas for me for cabinets and a work bench, let 'em fly. I need
to decide whether to build something myself or buy.
Thanks,
Matt

I'd go with a single 18...worth the extra money over a 16 if you
are going to park 2 cars on a daily basis...and a 20 would be even
better...I've got the 2x9's and like most everyone , wish I had a
single...1 less opener to buy...
check out
www.garagejunkies.net for other guys that are building and
remodeling stuff..I have already gotten some good ideas from it..

I am in final planning for my new garage. Gonna be a 24x36x10
D-I-Y pole barn. I'm buying attic/storage trusses for the front &
rear 12 feet. Then scissor trusses for the middle 12, give me
enough
overhead room for a lift IF I can ever swing it.
I'm stuck on what to do for garage doors. 2 9x8's or 1 16x8???
(BTW - gonna have a 9x8 back door too). I'm thinking that 16x8
will
be easier for entry & exit and PROBABLY more practical. Any
thoughts
on that? Thanx.
