1. and you're going to park the car sideways???
;) Just kidding. We can't fit a bike, no less a car, in ours.

5. Heh, which is more than I can say for us. We have taken to calling
our garage, "The Giant Shed". :7 Very nice though!

11. The Giant Shed is right!!
That is what our garage has become. Everytime I get it cleaned up and organized, my wife decides that she has some more things she would like to store out there. Then I have to move things around and re-organize to find room for it. Drives me crazy!

Original Poster, your garage looks great! I am jealous.

4. Judging by the size, even if all the workshop stuff wasn't in there
a car wouldn't fit very easily :)

I think it looks pretty damn nice, I wish I had a work area like that. :)

6. Oh, I was just teasing. I am too ashamed to post a pic of our two car
garage, in which we cannot fit even a Yugo if we wanted to...;)

20. Excellent work!
My father was a civil engineer and general contractor. I appreciate how much skill and commitment it takes to create those vanity doors and drawers.

Looks like you have a fall back job for when the economy goes to hell.

(Did your wife (I'm surmising here) expect you to hold off on the garage remodel until the bathroom was done? Like, one for me and one for you?)
