    Great job Jamie. For another $20 to $30 thousand you can implement all these suggestions!

    I have recently put an addition on my garage. A post and beam structure I built about 20yr ago with 20ft long 8by8 timbers that were being discarded from a large steel mill expansion I had the privilege of being involved in. In 2 words, free stuff.

    So now I've got a floor too. I have had a garage for 20yr and swept the floor for the first time last month. Now I sweep it even if it doesn't need it, just because I can.

    I started planning shelving and storage and came up with this very unique stylish and cost effective solution.

    Living in a big city does have some benefits.

    I went to Craigs List and searched 2 tabs, furniture and free stuff. I set the search pera miters in furnature tab to 20 miles and 100 dollars max.

    I ended up with 14 china cabinates for a total combined sum of 460 Doolars!! No typo. Some I got free, 1 I did give 100 for. That top one I paid 40 bucks for it.

    I've seporated the upper and lower halves and only used the uppers. Mounted them up on the wall high enough to have room on top to display collectibles and mounting them on the wall, the floor is clear.

    They have glass doors glass shelves already lit. I could not have built shelves out of 1 by for what I paid for this beautiful eclectic assortment of china cabinates.

    All being glass doors makes projects sooo much better and often with others helping leading helpers to stuff is really good now.

    My tools and my hardware r now displayed like good cuts of salami at a fine Italian deli.

    These larger heavy items r frequently just given away. I love seeing the reaction of many when I show up lay them on their backs and seporate the 2 halves to facilitate hauling them away. Most have no clue.

    Okay, I'm a newcomer here, and I will enjoy reading this thread. My wife and I just acquired a 2004 Liberty Elegant Lady, and we are looking at building a barn for the coach....
    and the ski boat,
    and the Seadoo,
    and my tractor,
    and the trailers,
    and the UTV,
    and the Gator,
    and the 4-wheeler.


    Looking into a 40X60 with 16 foot walls. Probably will have a U-shaped loft for the two side lanes. Aisle for the bus will be 50 X 16. It will give us storage above the tractor, boats, etc, with a lot of headroom for the coach.

    I look forward to reading through this!
