<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SS427</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Cal (zapper68) asked me to post this of his garage. He recently just completed it up in the mountains of Vancouver, British Columbia. I don't recall the square footage but it is A LOT. He also has a party/meeting room unstairs as well as lot of extra storage. Quite an interesting garage and shop on the inside and nicer than my home. </div></div>

AND..................it's on a lake! Whoopie! What could be better?!!??!

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

The garage has a garage . . . that even has it's own garage.

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Cal sent these this morning. The house is off to the left in the one photo and over looks Lake Okanagon. The photos of the inside of the garage show it empty but they were taken several months ago just after completion. It now contains lots of cars, wall art and beer. Lots of room in there!

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Wow...Nice!

Cal, I'm going to move into the garage [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Everything went well for us. We are 20 minutes from a plant so that helps and knew the crew leader. The lumber Morton uses is better than you can get at a lumber yard. We did have wind get in the country craft and bend the side doors and they took care of it. Seems to be good warrantee.

That guy needs no introduction at all.

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Thanks Bill. I sent the Rep a drawing with some additions to the original floor plan I had. He should get back to me this week with a price. It doesn't take long to shoot the price way up there! Impact fees and permit fees in Florida are ridiculous! It's going to cost me at least 10 grand before I stick a shovel in the ground!

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Man you guys have WAYYYY too much money!!!! I only have a simple garage with barely room for two cars, no special flooring other than big cracks, and my wife constantly stealing my tools for house jobs.

Not a show shop, just a working shop but.....it's my shop. I think 10 of mine would fit in Howard's.

Beautiful cars but you forgot the most importants aspect...the beer fridge.

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

EMMMM the garage beer fridge! I may not have as much bank as the rest of you; but I **** sure have one of those fridges!

This pic is old and it is stocked exclusively with dark German beers these days.

Very nice. I have depleted Rick's many times since we met. LOL

I spent an evening catagorizing my Photobucket Albums not realizing they would alter the previous posts I made.

Here is a link to the Garage portion of the album and some of my memorbilia.

Here is a garage of a friend of mine in Tulsa; not fancy but well stocked.

Thanks Sam, Reorganizing Photo Bucket created a can of wirms in other areas as well.

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

&quot;but honey it's a pool house&quot; She didn't buy that. The pool was a trade off (aka bribe) for the shop

Shop vs Pool.....we both won!

I got one of them too (sort of) and here I am getting scolded for using 'her' tools at home.

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

NICE!

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Looks like you handed her a metric wrench

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

I think she is chewing him out because he was truning the wrench the wrong direction.

Nah, she just discovered he put dishes in her dishwasher. Anybody knows you use a dishwasher to clean seatbelts! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

I'm not much into photography but that's a great photo of the red Chevelle. It looks like something that belongs in a calendar!

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

HAHA... that is kind of funny [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

But I agree that is one fantastic photo of an even more fantastic car.

Two thumbs up to Rick and his wife!

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Great shot Rick!

<span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="font-style: italic">&quot;Or hopefully on the cover of a upcoming new Chevelle book........ &quot;</span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Do tell more!!!!!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]</span>

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Ha, couldn`t you think of something else other then the brake proportioning valve bracket bolt to fake the picture with?

Plus where are your non scratch FENDER COVERS????? Plus your dog needs to be in the pictures next to the tools, looking up at Rick.....with a caption &quot;I heard you say, you were NOT fond of Cranberry Red?&quot;

Ann and Rick, great picture!

Dan

Re: Lets see your garage/shop or any dream garages!
 

Ha Bill. Sears tools for the little lady so she has her play set at home but MAN is she fond of them especially if I forget to put one back....

Thanks for the comment Steve. This car was completed and shipped to Florida where it was sold only a few hours later (he received an offer he could not refuse from a client of mine).

Sam, I cannot say anything about the book yet other than the author is very well known and most of us have his other books in our libraries already. We supplied hundreds of photos and technical information for it. No guarantee on the cover but they told me we had a pretty good shot at it. All shot with a cheap digital camera by a local friend and part time shop helper. The publisher wanted to simulate a home Chevelle enthusiasts working out of his garage on his Chevelle with limited tools so there you have it.

Dan, no fender covers because they did not want the shot to be too busy. Hence the lack of dog as well.

You are quite correct <span style="font-weight: bold">jasonL78</span>, about different spaces for different purposes which is why...

I initially bought this old wreck of a shop.

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...tRm09Sm1-1.jpg


It was built in the 1930's...

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u..._0080_sm-1.jpg

...and restored by my son and myself...

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...NovaFwdsm5.jpg

...as a place...

...where I could...

...work on cars...


http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...67/FabRMsm.jpg


... not store them...

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...orthRoomsm.jpg

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...p/IMG_3637.jpg

A couple of pretty quick Pure Stock drag cars have come out of there.

For car storage I had Morton build...

...this barn a few hundred feet away from the old shop.

Inside it's primarily...

...for storage but I also...

...have a modern lift...

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...S/IMG_0840.jpg

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...G_1347copy.jpg

...should the need arise.

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...G_1229copy.jpg

A place for everything and everything in it's place.
