love my little "shed". Affectionately named Jakes Place, that was the name of the last dog that lived there. Jake was a Brittney Spaniel.
I've added some steel shelving, and a pretty nice 4 spkr stereo system after most of the interior pics have been taken. The natural gas unit heater is the best, click on...set temp, turn on ceiling fan...and warmth right there.
Modest by many folks standards, but a true four season space for us. The summer when the C4S is in the main garage, the shed has air hockey and a ping pong table in it for an outside play space for my daughter and friends.
Cost a fair amount, lots of detail both inside and out...but well worth it. The original shed was 16 wide, by 12' deep. I added another 12' of depth, and bumped the roof up to allow for the rear overhead and lift.

levtron, No garage at all? Truly we have to all have a moment of silence here.

I saw them at the PSDS and asked someone there where I could get them. They asked for my address and four days later they were on my front door stoop! I wish I could be more helpful, but that's the truth.

Cool thread! Well, I have a little story to tell...
I live in Manhattan. Where an outside parking space is considered a luxury and paying $300/mo to park your other car on a gravel lot next to a bridge is considered a bargain.
We've also had this place in the Catskills for some time now and I always wanted to have a garage. Unfortunately, the house didn't come with one, just a shed.

Which, as you see posed some challenges for a car guy...
![](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb432/ilko44/Garage/IMG_0202_zps5e153a61.jpg)
So I decided to have a simple garage built - 12x24 slab, no frills. It was mine and it was beautiful:

And my dog liked it too...

After I crashed my first 964 I disassembled the whole car in that place over one winter. I can't believe I was able to do that with so little space, 2 floor jacks, some stands, and a dolly.
Then the RSA came along... We had good times in the garage.

And for the past 3 years it's been home to my C4S. My son loves hanging out there too...

I've had so much fun in that garage over the years, it's been a really rewarding experience along with lots of cursing and busted knuckles along the way!
