Six bays, organized. The tool wall is a discipline.
A six-car garage is not an indulgence — it is a shop, a staging area, and half of every project on this site. One bay for a car, one bay for work, one bay for what is already on the table. The other three are for the Porsche history, the heavy tools, and the long lumber rack.
Organization is not decoration. Every tool has an outline, every bit has a hole, every extension cord has a spool. If you have to look for it, you have already lost ten minutes.
