I've added on to my attached two car garage. The only way I could add on was to extend out the back.  
   I now have a 20X42 four car garage that I have decided to make more than just a place to park cars.  
  Here are some of the current and planned features.  
     
  current features:  
electrical outlets every four feet
ceiling fan
stereo/tv
covered overhead and under workbench storage
insulated and white melamine panelled walls
insulated ceiling
removable stairwell insert(allows driving to back stall)
access door to 12X16 under deck storage area
1 part epoxy white garage floor paint
Modine 50,000 btu natural gas heater

planned features:

ceiling panels to match walls
lots of overhead lighting
car lift system

  I applied two coats of Behr 1 Part epoxy Garage Floor Paint. I am disappointed with the results. I was expecting more of an epoxy finish. It went on like paint, it looks like paint, and it feels like paint. I wish I would have spent more for a better epoxy product. After all the preparation work and three gallons of $23 per gal. paint I feel like I wasted the time and money. All white looks good. But I don't know if I'm going to do the same to the front half of the garage. The arrows are pointing to the scrap lumber I used to lift and hold the work bench top so that the legs are actually off the floor. I could then just push the legs aside to paint underneath them.

  I bought some cheap carpet for under the Chevelle and Camaro. The work bench area is back together.

  The Chevelle looks good in its new surrounding. I received a Modine 50,000 btu overhead natural gas heater for my birthday from Tim and Saundra.

  With some help I now have a heated garage!
