Its only a 1 car, so my 1 car gets to sleep outside, But sometimes I pull the front end if I am going to be working on her. I can fit her in, its just not easy. And not worth the hassle, or loss of work space. Its the best lil shop I have at the moment. The other wall is even more packed. With so little floor space I had to resort to wall mounting things I am dreaming of a 2 car garage.....Soon my precious... lol

I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to leave your garage, with a home theater i wouldn't either. Nice set up

Its like a house for your car, I love it! I wish I could get my garage that clean! Even when I clean my garage (its clean in the photos) it still looks cluttered because I have enough stuff to fill a 2 car garage and a shed and I have crammed it all into a single car garage!
