I'm sure some of you long time JD'ers remember back to the days when I was remodeling my freebie shed into a little shack to store my 99 Indy 500! Well, my parents 2 car attached wasn't cutting it anymore and as all young adults I wanted to be out on my own. After a stressful couple months trying to purchase a home without any realtors and not exactly having a clue what the heck I was doing, I closed today on my first home! It has a 4.5 car attached garage that is finished off/insulated and has a natural gas heater, the 3rd stall is 40' deep with a garage door going out the back! I guess the 2k sq ft house is nice too :) I'm renting the home back to the current owners (I've known them for almost 15 years) for a short period of time, so will have to hold off on some "garage mod" pictures & updates.

Way to go Indy! Good move and it looks like a sweet sled shed. There is going to be a lot of wrenching and talking smart in that garage before long. Looking forward to the garage mod thread too! :) No need for the Z71 seat now that you have a house to use. It's time for carpet burns. ;)

You have always performed beyond your years and this is another example of that. Proud of you Indy. Cheers!!

Welcome to home ownership I see less snowmobiling in your future. You have made a very wise move I had a friend buy a house very young he brought in friends/renters to rent rooms in the end it cost him about $400 a month to pay his mortgage out of pocket.
Good luck enjoy

Well done. Cheap money right now. I am planning my house building project right now and that is about the right size garage. When I was your age I bought my first shack and it had 26x32 garage detached. Guys came over for poker night twice a week. We ended up drilling a hole in the wall and inserted a large funnel for a redneck urinal pissing station. Good idea then.... lol Have fun!!
