So jealous. I'm living in the city at the moment (on a 2 year escape plan) and the garage is only being held up by the crap my folks have stored from wall to wall in there. I wouldn't be able to build big enough for what I need so I'm hoping it just stays standing.
The trailer is part of my plan to ditch city life and the first thing I build on whatever land I find is going to be a garage/shop! Until then, I'm searching for somewhere I can store it and work on it.

But I knew my progress would be slow and the cost would be rather steep.

I volunteer at a farm animal sanctuary on 65 acres. It's only 15 minutes from home and I head out there at least 2 if not 3-4 times per week as it is. I'm considering asking them if I can park it there and pay them rent of some sort. Seems like a win win. Only consideration would be that I'd have to do some extensive tarping over the winter. But would rather give them the $ than a storage facility. And this way, in the spring when it's time to start pulling skins, I can have easy access to power, etc. Fingers crossed on this idea.

Yas, Beautiful garage. I want one in a big way. What size is it? Something like 32x24? It works but tight. Why didn't you go with a 9' door and slightly taller ceiling? Garage is 28x28. It's on a fairly small city lot. We thought of making it a little bigger but we ran into the code restriction for how much of the lot we were allowed to cover with building. As to taller - we thought it would be close but OK and we were working on having very complimentary aesthetics with the house next door, which belongs to our builder. And we were tall enough - just. So all is good. The trailer has to come off the truck when it's stored in the garage anyway, so it doesn't matter if we take it off once it's in or when it's sticking out in the alley a little. We epoxied the floor before anyone even drove on it and plumbed it for a gas heater so we can work on trailers and other projects all winter long :-)
