Seen your garage setuo before (and there is more than that cabinet) - outstanding for sure. Even though my garage is pretty organized I would need to throw out a lot of stuff like bikes, garden tools, and all parts of my son's and wife's car to make room for such a nice setup.
Anybody needs new in the box F80 M3 fenders...😳

Very cool. Can you provide some details on your setup there?

Thanks. Yes my wife and I came to an agreement years ago that we don't really have a typical garage that holds a bunch of stuff that isn't mine. My solution was to build a little mini garage in the backyard that hold all the other stuff that would of been in a garage. I get the garage and the theater and she gets the rest, it's always worked well for us.

I think it's called Sheshed 😁

If I would propose that to my wife I would have to start building tomorrow.

Ah yes the she shed, forgot that term but in my case it's pretty accurate.

Sure. Most of the items in my set up are available via Obsessed Garage, from there it was mostly a matter of designing it all to fit in a 36 inch wide cabinet. Plumbing and electrical in the right spots and a 50 foot hide a hose vacuum that comes out just below and to the right of the pressure washer. There is also a car drying blower mounted under the cabinet and I keep the hose for it in the cabinet. It’s essentially a full set up within a cabinet, I can be up and running in 60 seconds and put it all away in 2 minutes.

I figure if I wash all four cars once a week the system will pay for itself in 2 years, but since I don’t do that it’s not the most economical route to keeping the 911 clean, but it’s as close as I can get to enjoying the process.

I've seen the pics of your setup. Jealous, but unfortunately my house is not set up for something like that, so the SunJoe is my best bet. If I move this year or next, one consideration will be a garage equipped like that or some version of it.

We built a new garage (it just doesn't have a water source in it or that I could feed to it for a cabinet) but we built a 3 car. 2 cars and then the 3rd bay has bikes in part of it. The other part of the 3rd bay is drywalled off and has patio doors to the backyard, and is my wife's she shed, or what I call her garoffice.

i need to figure something out. I have an oversized 3 car garage that leaves enough room to open car doors, have shelves and built in cabinets…problem is I have 5 cars, 6 bikes, lots of tools, and to top it off shelves full of car parts for 4 of them. Argh.

5 cars as a problem. Interesting premise.

We have 10 foot ceilings in ours but 9 foot would work as well. I you don't have any drop rack shelves, install some on your ceiling so that you can get some of that stuff overhead.

yeah, already installed wall shelves that take things off the ground (floating wall shelves) but still not enough. Ceiling shelves would help some. I just need to get rid of more stuff, sell some bikes, move garden tools…my built in cabinets are basically the sheshed…

PS; can’t get rid of cars. My wife and sons (college age still) are also into the car thing - but they’re more into the JDM scene. When they get their friends (and girl friends) over my driveway looks like a cars and coffee meet.

I'm in the same trap. Can you put some lifts into your garage? Besides that, if you figure something out that's cost effective please send me a private message. I can't put a lift in my garage, and anything else I've come up with is ridiculously expensive-which is money I could spend on another car. First world problems I know...

sure first world problems. I can’t install a lift either but would also not be practical as we use the cars regularly. I like things clean and tidy but some items are just best stored on open shelves and some tools, like garden tools, hang on walls. I tried to get everything I can off the ground but some things just need to stay on ground like rollable tool chest, generator, shop vac, miter saw stand etc. My nexts step is to negotiate with the wify what we can remove from the built in cabinets so that I can store more itools in there. Ceiling hanging storage is okay but when you need stuff hard to access. Also makes the garage a bit more claustrophobic looking. I rather want to remove things or put them where I can’t see them.
