I did that with a motor once. Started at midnight when I knew no one would see me and had the car running by 7am ..... Apartment ppl never the wiser. Dmax might be a little more complicated to do that too though..... :D


My garage has upgraded lately from a bathtub to a 20x18 two car. Mostly storage right now.

We finished off our 60x80 storage shed and made it into a shop. Our old Shop is the small door on the right. We still mainly use the old part because the new part is full of machinery. I'm hoping to buils a 50x100ft storage shed in the next few years and then I'll have more room in the shop. Not use to working on anything but farm machinery but hopefully I'll get some things figured out on the Dmax before long.

Wow Dave thats nice concrete floors and everything.

My garage is "L" shaped 19'Wx24'/40'. Its the biggest I could fine in town that was long enough for my truck. I would like to add some more lights, coat the floor, and maybe an exhaust fan, but other then that I'm happy. Not that I need much I don't intend to ever do more the a turbo myself on my truck.

Cant go wrong with Morton! May be a little more expensive but that SHT is built to last ;)

My last name being Behlen I ruffled some fellers when I got the Morton, Behlen buildiings buils sopme amazing shops and buildings check out there site or goole them, but man I was pushed to the back burner with them Morton said they could start in a week so I picked them. As for Mortons prices it wasn't really all that bad the concrete cost me more than the shop.
