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.

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.

Nope. You have run into the Law of Nature that says "You will always have 20% more stuff than room".

Carefully disassemble the front of the garage. Add 10 feet to the building. Put the front back on.
Steve. Who is just finishing up the design for a new shop at the house he just bought with a two car garage.
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. ERS
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.
