For the time being I'm working out of the house garage(It's a little more cluttered now).
This is my shop 24x24 with a 12x15 office and all the truck parts, Tools and equipment. I'm in the process of adding another 24x24 to it so i don't have to walk so far when i forget a tool.

Truxx - I will have to put some thought into your idea of the open area above the lift. I was also planning on installing a rolling hoist in the other bay so some additional height would be good. I also need at least a 10' door to get my superduty (with ATV loaded) inside the garage so then I would have at least a 12' ceiling height.
Just as you guys say that no one has ever complained about making their garage to big, has anyone ever heard someone say that the ceiling was too high???? Just a thought

I'm late but here is my shop
<CENTER>This is the corner of the garage where the wife lets me keep my toys. I think it is 24,000 sq ft. How do you like my 3 ton engine hoist? We actually use it as a vehicle storage buisiness. There are two F-7's, a VW thing behind the restored F-7, and whats left of a 1930 Ford AA Tow truck. Another AA truck is on the way. I have added a gallery with a few more pics of my shop. With a pair of F-7's and soon a pair of Ford AA trucks, size matters.</CENTER><CENTER>John</CENTER><CENTER>NNY</CENTER><CENTER></CENTER><CENTER>

Ok, here's a couple of picks of my overstuffed, cluttered garage. Its an attached 2 car garage. I have to do at least 30 minutes of the infamous "crap shuffle" before I can actually do any work

Hey Bobby, it's about time!!!! We thought you forgot about us! Anyway I dig the Coca Cola sign hangin up in the background! I also dig the Miller welder I see by your Harley. One thing about Miller makes the best welders in my opinion! When I get ready to weld in my shop it's Miller Time!! I love my big Millermatic 250! I also have a Miller TIG, and a Miller plasma cutter!! If I can get it up the BIG hill and into my shop, it's definately got a chance to get done!
Of course that also depends on time and money too, but you get the picture. I love your truck! My little bro is lookin at one right now! Are you goin to paint it?
Anyway COOL shop!!

Terry,
Thanks, In the back corner behind the truck is my 60 Gal air compressor, drill press, and the obligatory big red Snap-On box. The favorite and most used tool in the shop? that would have to be the old Pepsi machine by the bench. Its a heck of a deal, you can get a frosty long neck for a mere 15 cents! (I think I'm losing money)
I love my Miller! Its just a small Millermatic 135, 110v but it will do anything I need it for. If I need big stuff welded I go over to my buddy's fabrication shop and I have access to the big welders, Ironworkers (punches), shears, etc (and most important...scrap bin and drop pile)
....someday.....I want to build me a shop out in the backyard for my stuff. Then I would be able to use the garage as a garage (maybe the wife could park a car in there too...lol).......someday........I have to remodel my kitchen first
