I took a few pictures with my phone during the 11 inches of rain that we received in the last 48 hours. sorry they are not the best resolution.
How many VCA members does it take to fill a 22 foot bar?
All the wood is Alder and the bar paint is Copperhead!
The display case is 6ft wide by 8ft high. The paint in the garage area is a medium tan, not green!
Ordered two lifts from SuperLifts (American steel). The owner of SuperLifts is my neighbor. I also started the design process on graphic cabinets from uniquegarage.com.

Let me know if you are interested in selling a copy of your plans.....
my wife would love this for sure.

I have a question for you, how high are the garage doors, they seem to be about 8 feet high ? If so, were you planning on putting a trailer in this garage, I put my doors at 10 feet high, just for this reason just my $.02...good luck

The doors are just 7ft high and for cars only. I kept them as low as I could so I could raise the doors straight up. I have a 5 car on the house and a 5 car shop for trailers / tractors and that kind of stuff.
Plans are always for sale (very cheap).
Probably won't have any new shots until the outside is complete and the tile is going in. Slow but sure.
Thanks for all of the great comments, this has been a fun build and I like looking at these sort of things so I thought I would share as well.

PS - please tell Amy that for the next KC outing in your neck of the woods, that I will be sleeping in your garage. In fact, we may have the entire Club sleep in there, and party in there, and.............
heh, you didn't think we were going to let you build this just for yourself, ha!

We could put plenty of beds in between the cars and create a VCA bunk house!! We are all about having a party there but you will be the headlining comic. Bring lots of jokes about locking keys in your car, using a leaf blower to clean a rural highway....etc.

I'm curious. What is the plastic pipe for? Is it for exhaust fumes (you know, shoving a hose up the exhaust pipe so you can run engines inside the closed garage without asphyxiating yourself) or is it some sort of internal rain gutter?
Inquiring minds want to know.

dammit, that is a good idea but it is just simple drain tile. This is a 'show room' style garage that people (Bill Pemberton) will sleep in. I have two other garages for the messy stuff. We are pouting concrete on the patio today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS --- the design flaw of the entire place is the bar. You asked how many Viper owners could fill it, and since we know half of them will be in a prone position, you can only fit 3 on top of the bar. Please expand to 24 ft, so we can have 4 6ft bodies laying end to end.

Maybe if you alternated male-female-male-female you could overlap and squeeze more on there. Just a thought.
Damn, SkyBob, you need to be Dave's General Contractor ---- great idea and no need to expand the bar, now!!!

I need more drinks to ponder the schematics. There is room under the bar as well. We can fit lots of bodies in there.

Here is the design for the viper cabinets that go next to the display case.

After seeing this is in person pictures do not do it justice.
Simply stunning and it's not done yet.
Thank you to Dave & Amy for giving us the personal tour.

Here is the fireplace. Tile has arrived in the USA and is ready to be put down. It is hard to put a shot of the 14 ** T5 lights that make it bright on the 2500 sqft floor. My big shop has 22 T5s on 6,000 sqft and is well lit. Not much else to report until it is complete. It will take 4 full days of concrete pours to get the approach and driveway poured.

My computer crashed during my last big update, I'll make these in multiple posts to avoid that this time.
Ok, tile finally got released from customs but came in the wrong color. Plan B - redesign the floor and start scrambling to file other tiles in the US that were from the same lot. It worked out ok, here is the new floor design starting to take shape.

the weather has slowed us and these subcontractors really don't seem motivated to actually work anymore after having been laid off for so long.
