Hello Mark=2C I have for years been limited to a one car garage and it is pretty full of airplane=2C motorcyles an other projects and parts. I do have another bedroom I also use for a workshop.

Lots of variables here and generally speaking, it just requires some thought...Dad got his Hatz onto the gear and the wing panels made in a two car tandem garage,with a little 10 x 10 workshop area in the basement...Got a friend who's building his Hatz in his living room...I rebuilt my fuselage in a two car tandem garage.Not perfectly parallel, but to give an idea of what I mean by thought, or thinkingout of the box, at the Naval Academy I built my model airplanes on my bulletinboard, which we were required to have. And it was the only thing I had Icould stick pins in. It JUST met the requirements of what we were allowed tohave on it... A vertical "work bench" has the benefit of NEVER being over cluttered!Of course there's the other tangent, all projects beget more projects. Considerbuilding a replica of Bernie's hangar and building your plane in that. It'sa pretty efficient little structure, easily studied at Oshkosh. Or more mundanelybuilding a shop where you find a suitable house and lot. Like renting ittakes money away from the project, but adds value to the property done correctly,hopefully enough to recoup materials at least. These days this isn't agiven for sure. My entire hangar project (40 x 72) is being built from reclaimed materials givento me for the asking. The poles from the local electric company for free. The trusses and tin from someone who was otherwise going to have to pay someoneto remove a chicken house from his property.Could make a shop structure "knock a part" and take it with you in a couple years.I'm not sure how far along you are in your project, but LOTS can be done in verysmall spaces. Perhaps you could split a hangar with another builder or two who's in the samesituation, contact local EAA chapter perhaps. Have the added benefit of toolsharing (which can be good, or bad...).Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: How many of you are building/have built in your 2car garag

Mark,Just a thought. Put an ad in the Beaumont Craigslist that you are looking for garage/workshop/warehousespace to rent. You might be surprised at what pops up.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
