Only picture I have is actually a quick video when I fired the 390 thst captured a bit of the shop
https://youtu.be/KyMvrm2o77Y

Nothing fancy, 28x24 detached garage.  Wanted to be close to town recently which meant no big shop could be found.  Working on a plan to move outside town and build a proper shop.  Got as much equipment wise as I can without taking up too much footprint.  Air compressor,Mig welder, plasma cutter, drill press, 6x48” belt sander, parts washed, little welding table, 20t press.  I put a buffer and grinder on receivers I can slide into the welding table when needed.  I park two cars in the garage so it gets a little tight but it’s better than the typical 20x20 suburban deal.  12x24’ shed holds all the parts and lawn stuff so the garage stays uncluttered

Got a tiny pole barn, small attached garage, and a small separate garage.

Larry’s looks like the entrance to some weird underground lair or grow op.

LOL...size doesn't matter, right? ;D
I've got a 32x60 Morton with 4 overhead doors, and it took me a week of cleaning and moving just to have the room to pull the engine in my Galaxie ::)

I went from 24x24, to 24x48 and still not enough room.  Of course the Mack took one stall, so that really cramped my style, but it is nice having it inside.  I still have to walk over stuff to get around.  My buddy gives me grief.............and that comes from a guy with NO garage?  WTF.  Well his new residence is changing that with a 40x80 going up soon.  Then we'll see who gets grief!!!

I'll play along.... Top photo is my place after we got my Dad's gold Galaxie engine/transmission complete, so I started ripping into my '62. Bottom is a picture I like from my uncles place. He's got a lot cooler place with a lot cooler tools. Coincidentally my Dad's Galaxie made it into both pictures.

What shop looked like when we bought the place. Roof leaking and end wall on left was completely rotted out. And yep, it was painted pink with brown trim



On one end of shop build a bathroom/shower along with Hot Water Heater room.




Other side of original shop



Repaired the bad wall floated complete shop and added 4 2' x 8' Skylights so I would not need lights during daylight hours.



A rendering i drew up what I wanted it to look like.  No such luck health issues killed it. That would have been a DREAM shop!



Inside shop as I was putting up a ton of lighting. Daylight at night . .






Added a 12k lb hoist outside



Tool Storage



Built a privacy gate 16'







Instead of large shop planned I built a much smaller one on opposite end







Bathroom shower on opposite end



walls going up





18' door going in original shop
