Is there a way to make more room in a garage so i can actually park two
cars in it? I have 2 welders, tool box, sand blast cabinet and several
other things.

I'm only going to say this once so listen carefully... "GET RID OF THE
CARS!"
A car at home is a bad thing, as it can only take you away from your
garage full of tools.
If I were you, I'd sell the cars and use the money to buy more tools,
and build an addition on to the garage.

Sell the 2 cars you have and buy 2 Smartfor2s. Then trade the 2
welders for one that will do everything you need to do. Get a small
enough one so you can store it INSIDE the sand blasting cabinet

No no. Buy 2 motorcycles. They can live in the garage, and if you
choose the right bikes can provide endless reasons to use the tools.

Just don't worry about it, no matter how much shop space you
have, it's never enough !

I agree but the motorcycles can be in the living room. Get dark carpet
to hide the oil stains.

"Stuff", when put into the dark of a garage is like mice or cats. You come
back, you got more than when you left. It will be impossible to manage, as
"stuff" will propagate to fill available space. Case in point: If you added
500 sf to your garage this evening, it would be full in two weeks.

I would consider a shop, or doing something with those pesky cars.

Try using the cube. Mount the welders on a shelf and store" other things"
below them. Jim

Sure. Two ways. Add a basement or a second floor.

Cars in a garage...theres a concept Ive not thought about in years....

Only problem is, those multiply too!

Plus a pickup truck, all in the garage - except for
the oldest bike which is due to get its frame powder
coated soon.

only if they are made in milwaukee

Carefully disassemble the front of the garage. Add 10 feet to the building.
Put the front back on.

Sure, wait for a nice day, call up some friends, and painstakingly move
everything outside. Keep your eye on the weather and make nice stacks
of everything so you can move it easily. Now right around midday, break
for lunch and have fun looking at all the great stuff in the driveway,
on the lawn, whatever. Then, drive the two cars in gradual-like: one
at a time. If you've got a friend with bagpipes, this goes real well.
Maybe someone else can even bang the drum slowly. Take a picture of
the two cars in the garage, print it up, and have it framed to hang
over your workbench in the garage. Next, pull the two cars out quickly,
and jam all the tools back in.

Yes. Give all the stuff to me. Or, at the very least, give me the two
welders, tool box, sand blast cabinet, and several other things.

Of course! You can't stop at just one.

But as someone else said, they can live in the house, try getting a car
through the back door...

Build a shed. Move stuff from garage to shed, park cars in garage. Drag
more stuff home, 'cause now you have room for it in the garage. Continue
until garage is full and cars are parked outside again. Repeat.

Clearly you don't have enough tools if you are even considering this.

For shame.

Besides, you can't park a mill out on the curb.

Either get an industrial sized box stretcher, or shrink your measuring
tape. And get smaller cars. that, or get a bigger garage.

Otherwise, the only "practical" suggestions I can offer is to think
"up". Look into some manner of "stacking", securing stuff "up" over the
cars when not in use. Make sure it is secure, nothing less fun that having
something fall on the car just before you have to go out.

Well think of the alternatives. Would *you* want your car or
truck falling on your 10EE?

Lathe goes on *top*!

Consider using the space high up on the walls for storage. Welders,
air compressors and shelves can all be hung high. Although the
compressor is better placed in a "dog house" outside to help eliminate
the noise.
