I have been afforded a blank palette, in terms of workspace, in my empty garage.

Since I've been a renter for the entirety of my adult life, I've never had a workspace.

The wife and I bought a house back in May, so I'm trying to get motivated to get organised, and put together a garage workshop.

Let's see some setups. I need workshop porn.

Congratulations on your first home. I am also getting ready to buy and am having the same thoughts about my workshop. I'd love to see some pics.

Thanks. Best of luck. It took us over a year, and the wife almost threw in the towel after getting into bidding wars. It was ridiculous. Ironically, we bought the very first house we ever made an offer on, for less than we originally offered, after the guy who beat us out in a bid war renovated it. It was a year later, but it saved us a ton of work, and money. Not bad. The collapse of the economy hasn't been a total wash...

Some of the garages on the website rjacobs linked to are insane. I'd just like a place to put my guns 'n gear, in a tidy and organised fashion.

It is a way to spend lots of money for sure. There are guys on there who have many thousands of dollars into the damn floors of the garage let alone all the other toys.

thats a great Man Cave, but it's not a shop- you wouldn't grind/cut/paint in there.

my Man Cave ain't nothing to look at, but it's where things of beauty get made.

Thats actually one of the more tame ones on there, hes probably only got 5k-6k total into that setup.

Look in the section on the different flooring materials and see what people talk about spending on the floor. Tile floors with epoxy coatings=$$$$ I think a cheap tile job with a cheap epoxy is like $2500 and thats if you do the majority of the work yourself.

Good deal. My wife and I moved from Seattle to TN late in 2007 and bought a house in February 2008 for considerably less than what we sold our place in Seattle for. The timing worked out just right.

About workshops - we have a bonus room over our garage, and I set up in there because of the climate in TN during the summer. I like having the A/C. I can't post pics at the moment, as I'm overseas, but it's nice to have my own room for projects. When my wife asked why I got my own room, I told her that the rest of the house was hers, and that was the end of that, haha.
