Paste and street view this if you want to see it.

I thought that was a townhouse or condo when I 1st looked at it. I thought all the garages were for multiple tenants.

My attached garage is 30x46, and has 2 levels. it works out to 2400sqft, of garage. I also put in attic trusses, and have 600 sqft of storage space above. When I first moved in, I thought there was no way i"d fill it up. 13 years later I have to park my daily driver outside... I do have cars in it though. Some of them not mine.

I'm guilty of having a shop larger than the house. Our house is about 2600sqft or so. My shop is 145' x 120', which works out to about 17,400 sqft. We are on 20 acres, though.

I didn't think about it until I saw this thread that I'm living this lifestyle now even though I'm a renter. The garage/storage space I'm renting is almost double the (sq ft) size of my apartment, BUT my apartment rent is double of what the garage/storage space costs. no

My kind of garage, but after a few years it’s full so another one in the south 40.
Mine is 3300 looking to make bigger (might have t move my shop business down) house is 2300 two story with 2 car garage and packed. One man should not keep this much stuff.

I hear ya! We bought the property with the building - I didn't build it. I do use a portion of the shop for my small engineering business. I like having a 30 second commute in the morning.

Beautiful set up 19swinger!
I used to work in a garage shorter and 3ft wider than my current enclosed trailer. I’m fortunate to have a 2 car garage and a 54x15 rv garage along side that. Still have to shuffle stuff around but I’m not complaining! Coolest part is the 12x18ft shed next to the garage. We insulated it and it’s the “machine shop” where all my tools are kept plus work benches and other engines. Keeps the big garage looking sanitary smile

You guys have some awesome and huge shops. Hell, I squeeze 3 cars, 5 quads, a golf cart, tool boxes, work bench, 2 welders, air compressor, refrigerator, some cabinets and a whole wall of shelves for parts all in a 2-1/2 car garage.

Organization is the key. If I cleaned mine up I’d have twice the space lol
