It definitely has potential. That's an interesting location for the garage door. Can you make the turn into the larger space?
 
Nice! There should be a show called "Garage Makeovers." The lucky owner receives

a 2 week vacation while Chip Foose and his team completely renovate the place.

I have never seen a garage layout like that before. It will be interesting to see what you do with it.



That has to be Barry's work garage, in some sort of building. It's got too many doors to be in a house.
 
Very interesting layout...



Looks like you should be able to make that turn... Backing out might be a little interesting...

bufferbarry- Glad you're doing well enough that you can spend the time/money on your shop, you deserve it.



I'll be looking forward to updates.



Oh, and nice to see the fire extinguishers :xyxthumbs
 
well guys unlike car transformations i took on a lot here. so far i got some plumbing that need done. i installed a water filter system in the basment of my hause and piped it threw the garage which ill show you some pics later of. right now im trying to get some of the out of seen problems taken care of. my house is old and years ago someone ran a body shop out of it so to answer a few questions its kinda of a weird set up but im gett ing there. as far as the front part i deceided to texture the walls this really helped hide some flaws in the wall so the mudd is still drying but i snapped a few shots. ill be working on the ceiling next but the first shot is a general photo and the second is a closeup of the texture. i went for the swirled look lmao! i plan to do some paint this weekend but enjoy and ill kepp you all updated thanks for the support.

I like the checker pattern. That's a pretty great workspace, just waiting to happen.



But I'm guessing by the looks of things that you're not an electrician, either. :)



(For the record, my electric setup is much worse.)
