Garage Expansion
As you may have noticed, I love to work on cars. Nothing is more frustrating than having your long term project car sit outside and have rodents destroy the electrical. (Been there, done that.) Our house had a 3 car garage, and with some clever re-engineering of the roof structure, we were able to accommodate two 4-post lifts for storage, and a single 2-post lift for working on the projects.- Garage-Remodel-v2.skp (20M) SketchUp 3D model of the garage.
Wine Cellar
We like to collect wine, and had grown tired of the growing collection of wine fridges filling the dining room. We decided to build a cellar, and go down to do so. I designed a ~2000 bottle capacity basement wine cellar which we built under our house. We use a mix of metal and wood racking, with granite counters, and used wine oak barrel staves as a false ceiling to add to the aesthetic.- new-cellar-layout.skp (4.7M) SketchUp 3D model of the cellar.
