Same here but my garage or perhaps I should say workshop is a double garage front with room for 4 cars in theory. Realistically only room for one and there is an inspection pit too although I have to syphon the water out of it before use. Water table is rather high round here. Back half is workspace with a bench, big vice, press drill and a lathe. -- Martin Brown
