Last spring, we bought a house with a 3 car garage plus an RV carport. My immediate reaction for the carport was a future shop with a lift.
Following is a brief history of the build from early fall to the present.
House before we took possession:
Carport employed as a wash bay in the early days:
Varying stages of build:
Finally inside, just in time to beat the winter rain (and snow):
Our next item will be the lift, most likely a 4 post. After the lift, we can complete a few finishing details. The shop is 26 x 12 with a 13 foot ceiling. We end up with about 12'-6" clearance when the door is up. We have a Liftmaster 3800 operator, two 1000 watt baseboard heaters, water and phone. A basic shop, but very nice to have in the winter.
Over the winter, we will get rolling on the 3 car garage using the same theme.
