You need to contact HGTV or at least DIY and get your garage on TV. IT'S GREAT!

Would you ever consider adopting a college aged student? Jeez, im pretty sure my house could fit inside your garage. Beautifully done though

Yeah, I wonder if you could get some floor covering company sponsor to do your garage floors for free, then we all could see it on TV. Wouldn't that be the shizz??

BTW, what are you planning on covering the floors with anyway??

Thanks again for all the encouragement. The floor is going to have an acid based treatment called "Staincrete." It's supposed to be more durable than epoxy, and costs about $2.50/ sq ft.

Here's a picture that I recently took while on vacation at SeaWord. This appears to be a clear-coated, acid etched concrete:

Dean, your garage is becoming the "Dream Garage" of Autopia! Looks fantastic!

Hi there.

I have just seen this thread, being a newbie to this site and am amazed at your construction project and the speed in which the house is being built !

The house looks fantastic and being a Building Surveyor over the atlantic in the UK, it's very intersting to see the differences in construction methods between the USA and UK. One thing I have noticed is the differnce in efficiency between the two countries......the same project in the UK would have taken a lot longer to get to your current stage.

Anyway, all the best and I will keep tuned into the future developments and update pictures for the new build.

Regards

Nick M

Nick M,

Thanks for the compliments. I'm surprised how quickly things are going also. My builder seems to have all his suppliers and subcontractors streamlined for efficiency. Hopefully we will be moving into the new house in January.

UPDATE (Nov. 8 '04)

The semi-custom cabinets are being installed into the 2 car garage. Notice the washer and dryer connections. No more washing car towels with the baby clothes!

The cabinets were surprisingly affordable (about $1700 installed) considering how expensive "Gladiator" garage cabinets are. Can you believe that this workbench is $500 ?

Here's a few pics:

Oops, almost forgot updated exterior pictures. I won't bore you guys with mundane pictures of the kitchen, bedrooms, etc.

Thanks Dean. I always enjoy an update of my favorite super-garage.

My wife and I, sad to say, watched that new cheesy show last night on luxury lifestyles with the ubertan George Hamilton. I think this automotive palace may qualify you for a segment some day.
