You do have a bed/shower there for those "late nights", right

You really need a shower so if you get dirty working on the car you can get cleaned up before you go home--shower is on my dream garage list! (for a dream garage that's not at your house, that is)
I remember one time changing the trans fluid on my TH350 out in the driveway and I tilted the pan the wrong way or took the wrong screw out and wound up lying in a puddle of Dexron...sure wouldn't want to have to drive home like that. Of course I see you have a lift so at least you wouldn't be lying in it.

I only have a single stall garage at the house and always wanted to put up a 3 stall. The wife likes our backyard too much, and I like leaving the house. Great compromise.
Yeah, that sounds like it works out perfectly for you. I can't add onto my garage because of the way my house is and besides the backyard issue I think I'd run into zoning/variance issues trying to build in the back yard. If I did, I would want some enclosed walkway to it so I could go out there in my pajamas, lol.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Applied 1 coat of CarPro Darkside before the Michigan game and afterwards I went out there and leveled it out, it was still glossy enough, before leveling, to see myself in the sidewall

Loaded up the SPTA cordless foamer with Griot's foaming surface wash and went to the self wash. This was the first time using it since I replaced the foaming insert with some IK felt discs. It worked well. Didn't sputter like before.

I would love to do something like this one day, just a matter of motivation. I plan on having a large open plan detailing workshop and car storage area, and an upper loft with living amenities. Off the side of the building, I want a semi enclosed space for storing my messy gardening tools away from the cleanliness of my detailing space. I would then service and repair equipment out there too. I'd also like to install an inground/flush fit scissor lift before pouring the concrete floor. Swisstrax through the detailing space and a more integrated cabinet/work bench/sink arrangement. A wash bay would also be on the wish list, either inside or outside.
My dad is a retired building estimator and designer, so I do have a foot in the door, I just need to get motivated.
I mapped this out on an Excel spreadsheet to visualize what I'm dreaming of. Maybe one day.

Make it slightly bigger and your wash bays can be inside. Just like mine will be. If I win Powerball.
