Garage is 26 wide x 30 deep with 12’ ceiling.  18’ wide door centered in the 26’ wall.  If you make the garage 34’ instead of 30’ you can get two Mustangs end to end on each side. That is why I purposefully made it too short for two cars.  I did not want to get tempted to bring home another project and have it stored in there.

MSteve has PLENTY of garage space. Take the 3-car in the Main house and add the second larger ‘boat storage and whatever projects’ area, and you get some garage-like ‘man-space’ about the size of a football field. 

Trying to develop plans for a 2 car DETACHED garage.  Big enough for a lift on one side and the other side for work bench....tool chest...welding machine... my wood working projects.......TV chair/man cave stuff like that. Deep  enough to walk around car with garage door closed.
Gonna have an attached 2 car garage for Ms. 6s6 car and lawn equip. and stuff.
Planning stage stuff.

Something like this but BIGGER is what I would suggest for the cave.

Especially by the time you have parts, tools, engine stand, cherry picker, both engines and transmissions out at same time and then pull out the interior while your at it.

At least you won’t have 4 to 5 feet of snow outside your doors for six months at a time.
Let’s not forget to shovel the roof off too.
Have fun!😁

Soooooooo  Lt. Dan......how big is yourz?

I would build the garage first making sure it’s big enough for everything you mentioned then if there’s any money left you could maybe build a house.

Like SteveG did.  Two 40’ containers, parallel and 20’ or so apart, then prefab trusses across the top. Or something to that effect.

Go 20% bigger than you think you need and then increase it another 50% and you still wish you had gone bigger.

Mine was supposed to be 30x40, but had to shrink it to 28 deep x 38 wide to deal with zoning issues and I really miss those 2' in either direction. By the time you add tool boxes, work benches, welders, hydraulic presses, shelving, racks for random stuff,  extra engines, blocks, transmissions, axles, a few motorcycles and other stuff you have on hand, not to mention 3 or 4 cars, there isn't much real estate left.

You had to go to the Glen Rose, TX  Bash to see it.  Maybe someone has pics?

Something that size should show up on google earth, any chances of co-ordinates or general area to peruse?
One of my pastimes is checking out where you guys live on goog earth. Some places like MS shop is too new to display although I have found his  gated community .
