I would be the happiest guy ever to have a garage anywhere near that size.

Lol it was literally the only thing I had input on while designing/building the house.
I wish I could've gone 3 wide, but the lot just didn't allow it with what we wanted to do for the house.
I could fit another car in front of the Bronco, and probably one in front of the GTI if I had it up on casters and could spin it 90 degrees.
4 post is going where the GTI currently sits. So there probably won't be room for a sideways car at that point, but then that's the purpose of having the lift.
such high ceilings are screaming for a) lift or b) ceiling storage

Since I couldn't make it wide...had to make it tall lol.
The plan has always been to put in a lift. I even ran 220 on that side of the garage to accommodate.
Not totally necessary, but figured it wouldn't hurt to have.
Yes, just rub it in lol.

Don't be too jealous, they are just cheap ECS reps (Alzor). Think they were around $400 for all 4 wheels back in 2016
I've driven in some pretty heavy snowfalls, like 5-8" unplowed roads and blasting through 1'+ mounds from snow plows, and I have yet to get stuck. The thing that really gets me is when the ice ruts build up in my alley.
Not as much traction as my wife's AWD but it's totally doable!

I accumulated some HD gift cards for Christmas and got a rolling packout rig for car wash stuff. The cabinet fits my ryobi electric pressure washer and soap, middle crate has chemicals and brushes, buckets and the rest of my stuff in the top.
What are the tire specs on those?
Nothing set in stone yet, but it's starting to look like this will be my new garage.
When you pull around the right side, there's a 3rd garage door that leads to this
Garage is heated (not cooled... yet) and insulated.

So this was my dad's house, and the garage was built by my stepfather who was a mechanic. He retired and sold the house to my dad who lived in it for a few years. My dad passed away recently, and everything is trending towards me buying my sister out of her half of the house and moving us in.
I will end up loosing access to about half the garage though. Prior to him passing, him and my uncle started converting one of the front bays (the one on the left in the first pic) and the loft into a separated apartment for him to live in. I said I'd still be fine with that plan continuing on, he's family. I just warned him he might want to factor in some sound proofing
So I would still have the bay on the right, the back bay with the lift, and that lower roofed back section... still plenty of room to turn it into a bitchin' garage. He planned on using a dual zone mini-split in the apartment section for heat and A\C, I said I'd be willing to kick in some money as well to go with a 3 or 4 zone system, so I can have one in the 'main' area to cool it in the summer as well. The apartment plans also include installing dormers on the non-solar side of the roof; he (my uncle) planned on sinking $100k - $150k into the renovation. Since he's paying out of his pocket putting equity into a house he doesn't own, the agreement was he wouldn't be paying 'rent' per se, but splitting the utilities\taxes\insurance. So still a win.
