Re: Garage Mancave
 

Would have to be a city ordinance. I'm sure there are some city's that have one like that, I think Richardson might even but code enforcement deals with that stuff not the pd. If it is an ordinance you can still get fined but it would just be a civil deal not criminal most likely.

This is Jareds garage a yr ago.

What do you guys think about this? Almost bought this last Christmas.

Too much clutter in there for me personally for a garage that has been "mancaved". I like a more clean, sanitary garage. There is no cabinets in there or counterspace in there for workspace.

Re: Garage Mancave
 

I want my living room to double as the garage.

That's pretty badass, but if you build your garage tall enough you can get the traditional style 2 post for much cheaper.

My spare bedroom serves as large part storage from time to time, I think the cowl hood for my wife's car is in there now, lol. We're trashy like that.

Who makes a good quality 2 post lift for cheaper than $2,300 new?

A guy that used to worrk on Dsm's out of his garage had this mini lift. It would lift the car about 4ft. Enough to squat underneath it. I thought it was the neatest damn thing. He said he paid around 2k new. It was also movable. :gasp: You would have people wanting to come over all the time LOL!

Yea that's the link I posted above the Dannmar MaxJax. Would help a lot with saving space.

Some of you guys' idea of a kickass garage is quite a bit different than mine. Personally I'd hate to look at a vinyl-wrapped Camaro convertible in a garage with checkerboard plastic floors. I like neat old stuff.

As for the lift, I would prefer a two post.

I like the neat old gas signs and stuff like that, but I don't want all the junk parts and clutter around. Everything has it's place and just sitting around cluttering up the joint just makes it junky. I rather have it all put away in cabinets and having clear space on counter tops to work. Plus, having all the junk sitting around isn't exactly safe for the little ones running around either.

Ok so let me ask this. What are the must haves in "your version" of a perfect garage/man cave? Mine would be (space providing)
Wall mounted Flat Screen
2 Post Lift
Pool Table
Couch
Tools for working on the car
Cabinets for storage
Toolbox(s)
And last but not least a small bar area

Space
Good lighting
Attic space for air compressor
Cabinets with counter top space
Easy clean Racedeck flooring
Surround sound stereo
Flatscreen TV mounted on the wall
large hideaway toolbox
Lift of course.

You can get a normal sized two post lift and instillation for not much more than that. The only down side is you need 12' ceilings if I remember correctly
