tbops are you still planning on the glass divide between the lounge and garage? Will look fantastic.

Damn!, I had the same idea for my new house, but I was going to use that glass that in its normal state is clear but once you run a current through it it goes translucent

[tbops]

Yeah, theres a 6 car garage with a clear devide in to the gym or cinema room. It will be awsome, its got its own rotation table and maybe even reg recognition to open the door and lower the cars in to the basement.

OHHH, I like the sound of the rotation table, I am hoping my new build will incorporate some neat tricks in the garage. The the great a thing about building your own house, its a lot cheaper to do something cool than buy something cool.

Here's mine. It won't win any prizes and is still full of crap from when we moved in but I am hoping to tidy it up before the end of the summer.



My mini hydraulic ramp.

With a car like that your garage should be a shrine. I can see it now, chequer board floors, white walls, racings pics on the walls and an old 40's or 50's petrol pump in the corner.

Spent all day yesterday clearing out all the unwanted crap. Just need to get the floor levelled on the left as you look at the garage where it was extended.
Then it may well be chequer board flooring time.

Here's mine:

The existing garage had room for 4 cars but we robbed it of some space. Now has room for 2, 3 at a push.


The new garage is still under construction but will house 3 cars. I've got room to put a lift in the middle bay as well.

Chris Foster had quite a good one, does he count?

[stuttgartmetal]

Very nice, the one Id like.






They're tiny those 308's.
Selleck couldn't drive his with the roof on I gather.
The crest on the floor could only look right with that metal on it.
Or maybe a baby FIAT 500 in the same colour as the 308

Big tick,

Got any more details on the ramp Rob? Looks interesting.

[67Rob]

Hi, the ramp works via a compressor.
Total length inc ramps: 76"
Total length of lift plates: 49"
Total width of ramp: 71"
Total width of each lift plate: 18.5"
Total lift height: 22" inc pads

This sits nicely under the wheels when flat between the front and rear wheels. When in the raised position the ramps stay on the floor. You can then lock the ramp into place and leave the car on it in the raised position for as long as you wish. The airline can be disconnected.
The pedals are for UP. DOWN. AND LOCK/RELEASE.

If the car has been left in the raised position just reconnect the airline and raise slightly to release the pressure on the lock.
Rob.





There are similar ones for sale on ebay. Not cheap though.

I bought some of these GaragePride cabinets a few months ago, they look fantastic and are nice and slim to hug the walls.

I fitted some PVC tiles too off the same website - a combination of light grey and green to go with the cabinets. My digital camera isn't working at the moment due to it being dropped , I'll see if I can borrow one.
