    Just curious, but do you think there would be any interest in a free web site that just contained images -- with brief descriptions -- of people's garages and sheds?

    I'd like a single location where people could go to see garages/sheds that others have built, improved, or are just simply proud of. I know there's a garage forum out there but searching for pictures of completed projects is tedious. I was also thinking of having a sub-section for specific aspects, like cabinets or lifts or lighting or ???

    Thoughts/opinions? Suggestions?

    The Tuff Shed we just had built (and I moved all the g/f's stuff from paid storage into it...oyi, my back!):

    Here's what I've got so far:
    http://garages.icbm.org/

    I'm using software that comes free with my [remote] web server so what I get is what I get (free cost and mindless installation process...I don't do Unix). It's a PHP photo album and I'm not a PHP programmer (yes, I know it's supposed to be an easy language) nor a MySQL db admin so there are some things I can't do e.g. the color scheme is a 'theme' and I'm only using a pre-made one...I don't have time to take on the task of making my own.

    I'm using Coppermine because it worked out much better and easier than Gallery in terms of the permission process for strangers uploading pictures. Plus my personal albums are in Coppermine so I'm more familiar with this software.

    Anyway, if you have any pictures to add then please do so. Suggestions/comments as well. This is my beta version so I may keep it or if it becomes too much hassle I may kill it.

    Check out www.garagejournal.com and check out the forums. Its not the same thing as in a photo album but it is the same idea.

    Edit: I just saw your webpage. I like it. Only thing that bugs me is color.

    Yup, I already know about that site.

    Color scheme is a bit funky for me as well :(
