Hey man good on you I grew up in a family who built fancy new homes every 5 or 6 years and it was
"car ports" ...all the way..I woulda killed for a garage as a kid..
Nothing wrong with a "shade tree set up" sometimes you "gotta run what ya brung"...
Mostly one doesn't start out with a shop..but its nice once it finally happens.
Its a real treat to get out of the weather and have a concrete floor too.
wow, a couch in the shop !!! I think I could fit one in if I cut it in 4 pieces and maybe stuff it in that corner over there... maybe
When the kids were younger (~10 years ago), it worked out great to be in the shop and they had a nice space to hang out with each others or friends. Gave mom a break at home. They weren't interested in vehicles too much when they were little (except my daughter, she is 6 in the pic below), but they loved being at the shop with Dad. Now that they are much older they are all coming into their own on liking / working on vehicles.
My daughter is the opposite, now that she is 16 she had discovered boys and has no interest in Dad or vehicles.
Guys,
This shop thing. I have been working out of 1/2 of a 2 car garage for 35 years. Did a lot of projects. Last spring we decided I needed a shop. Began the process and currently have it dried in. Much work to do inside to be a functional place to work.
Started as this somewhat open spot in the front yard in the middle of the U shaped drive way: Attachment 280634

South west of Erie. Thanks on the shop. Was able to roll around on a creeper under the old 2015 tonight. Nice to have a good smooth floor! Yes 53 Jubilee. Its nice. Mine does most of the work and lawn mowing and snow plowing too.
