Hey guys. We're planning on moving to Charlotte, NC soon. The houses in our price range have small garages (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The one we are really interested in is a 2 car, 18ft wide, by about 21ft long. The gas water heater is the corner, and a built in gas heater is nearby, which is nice. The garage is finished, and has pretty high ceilings, looks like 10ft or so. There's two built in over head storage shelves that are made out of wood, and hanging from the ceilings.

So, if we get this house or not, it doesn't matter. All the garages are about the same size. So, how do you guys make the most out of a small space? If there is enough ceiling height, I'd love to build a loft, to give me room for some of my larger, bulkier things, like the compressor and tires and stuff like that.

This house is going to be a stepping stone for us. We'll be in it for roughly 2 years, then we'll move to a larger house, where hopefully I can build myself a huge detached garage.


Anyway, I just wanted to get some opinions/pictures.

Thanks guys!
Steve

THE CAMARO IS HOME!!!! I drove her from my parents house 40 minutes away this morning to my house and it was a little bitter sweet, that was my last time driving the car on the street. I'm going to miss my weekend car, but racing in CMC will more than make up for it.

So, progress on the garage....not a whole lot. Getting the Camaro this morning and NASCAR this afternoon kind of killed the day. I did build the frame for the 2nd under garage door light, painted them, and moved some stuff around. I've been packing stuff on the shelves that don't need to be there. I need more storage. So, that's my plan for tomorrow, along with hard wiring the under garage lights.

I'm going to build shelves up relatively high on the side walls and hopefully that'll give me enough room to store all the crap that I don't need to get to every week.

Oh, and I cut the pole out. I was surprised how fast this came out. Only one semi used cut off wheel and it was out. That gave me a lot more room.
