I'm in the middle of a $200K (and counting) barn redesign to be able to accomodate my also growing car fleet. Today was test fitting of the lower level which as you can see now can hold 5 cars but getting in and out is a bit of a nightmare with a single door. Have to decide whether I sacrifice a spot so I can get some cabinets/workspace and just put more cars upstairs and reduce risk of scraping one getting in...

What it looks like now (before deciding on layout, cabinets, adding epoxy flooring (concrete is still curing) and $8K worth of lighting from Obsessed garage:



What the lower level used to look like:


What the upper level still kind of looks like (there will be 4-5 cars on the right off screen (with one lift that I already have).



And what it all looks like from outside:

Did you get rid of the stall doors/walls, etc.? I have the same materials in my barn and could always use spare items, horses(younger colt/filly) are not easy on my poor stall doors.
Looks great, beautiful views.

Wish we had connected earlier - I sold it all off for barely anything to some Amish people who could use it.

@RudyP. Just remove that thing from England in the middle, that‘ll solve all your problems🤣
Seriously, an impressive setting that is. As also stated by bonehead, for the floor, I would recommend tiles - if your budget allows. That’s what I have in my garage, and it doesn’t matter what you spill, you can remove it easily, and also clean easily, with a broom, or wet. Tires only leave a trace, when a car was driven in the wet. Tiles have no wear

Well, the barn above is a tough act to follow. This started as, “I’m just going to paint an accent wall” which lead to everything in the garage getting paint, a side-mount door opener, hex lights and misc other items to tidy everything up.

thank you! The crest was laser cut from a black piece of acrylic and the negative (remaining pieces from the cut) was glued to a piece of MDF cut in the shape of a crest; it of it resides inside my house (pool table room). The color is “Mountain View” by Bear paint which is the closest I could get to Agate Grey. I’ll let you guess why I chose that color 😜

Wow! All the others are more than I could imagine, but the simplicity and ceiling lights have a fantastic look!!!
