You can see the front side, theright side and here is a pic of me and my dad working on it. You can see the two garage door openings in the last picwhich are on the left side of the garage. I still need to get some good inside pics of the garage but these are all I could find.

Hi `Matt, thanks for shar'in your pic's of your
Dream Garage. WoW, you are lucky, 4-Sure.
Did you, and your father build the whole garage together ?
Looks like `hard work, but it sure would be worth `it.
Your lucky to have a dad to work with, and learn from.
I've met to many in our age group that don't. :
From the pic's I've seen on the Web ofPA, it is a beautiful state &
the area of your garage, looks super nice.
I dream of having a garage like that someday, (Filled with all
the tools that I would need : )
Now I understand why you have a plan for auto tech college.
I wish you the best in obtain'in your dream.
Oh, the BeachBum's & I want to know `if we can live
in your garage ? LOL

Thanks Space. We did everything except stand up the roof trusses. We have a relative in the roofing business and they came out and stood them up for us. Everything else was done by me and my dad.

PA is a super nice place to live and Im glad I live here.

The loft is about the size of a bedroom and has a door and a window, so you would feel right at home up there. Just dont sleepwalk or you might fall! It might get a little hot in the summer tho being right up there against the roof and all. A little window air conditioner and you would be set.

My little garage space is filled with motorcycles I have restored and the spare parts needed to keep them running. If I'm going to do any heavy wrenching on the Monte, I'm going to have to do it outside, when the weather turns nice.

I've got a complete set of tools, standard and metric, in three stacked Craftsman Boxes that I can roll-out to where I'm comfortable doing shade-tree work. I don't plan on having to do too much wrenching on the Monte. But, in the event there is something, like a thermostat swap ... there's enough room to nose-in the Monte and work close to the tool boxes.

I have a mix of Snap-On and Craftsman Tools. I only need a Code Reader to complete the set for OBD-ll servicing of the Chevy and Honda.
I'm good to go!
My motorcycle set includes mercury Carb Sticks and a ColorTuning Plug for Pilot Mixtures setting and Carbb Syncing.
I also have the Yamaha YICS Tool needed for engines with the YICS Induction Passage.

I have parked my Monte in the garage a couple times, but I've only had about a quarter inch clearance between the front bumper and the tool box and a quarter inch clearance between the rear bumper and the garage door. Also there is a damn support beam in between the two spots in the garage that's holding the master bedroom up so I can't open my doors. So basically no I don't have a garage to park my Monte in.

If I had my Dream Garage ... I'd already have the U-Bend Delete done by now. It's amazing what you can get done when working in a professional environment or just working and not being uncomfortable by being too cold or too hot or not having enough room.

Before my daughter filled my garage with her furniture from a recent moving ,,, I had the room to restore two motorcycles in there. Now, I can't walk around and have no place to put parts. They even stacked a few boxes on my workbench. But, she has a new apartment now and I should have all of her stuff out of here before the end of the month.

That's when I plan on doing my Brake Calipers and getting the rusted ends of the hubs wire brushed-out and painted. Maybe a whole brake system bleed and flush; too!
