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

I built this above garage storage, which is nice because its about 40 sq ft and is nearly hidden with the door up.

I still need to finish organizing, but at least the garage isturning now a two car garage again. It actually feels pretty big inside. I think keeping as much stuff off the floor as possible is the key. All that stuff on the floor will have a place to go on a shelf or in a cabinet.

And at midnight last night...

I'm done building for a while. Just need to make legs for the folding workbench and wire up the remaining under door light and she's done (for now). I just want to focus on selling parts that I don't need and starting to build the Camaro.

Next week I'll probably post a finished pic of the garage once I'm organized.
