Re: Working on my Garage

This is getting to me now..I am still working on this by myself as my helper still hasn't showed up and I was literally RUNNING to get stuff done today... I was hoping to have this done over the weekend...I got ALOT done today. No more pics until I am doen though It will be one hell of a turnaround. Detailing is what were about and thats what I am doing with the garage too

Re: Working on my Garage

So for now...I am done...I am waiting for the electrician to come back and finish up wiring the outles for the ceiling. There are a total of 5 going in....I added a 5th since my last decision... So I can't spackle and paint the ceiling, well I won't until everything is done up there...

Remember the befores? Ingore the beer pong and car cover pic...Its just to show HOW BAD it really was before...







On to the garage...I had these extra handles from a sub zero fridge that is in my kitchen so I decided to utalize them. I added one to the front of the work bench, and one to the wall next to where I will be detailing cars....I know the one against the wall looks like a ballet bar But there is a reason for them...





Perfect for spraty bottles while I am working on a car...


I recently got my business cards made up...And decided to get a matching banner....I thought it came out pretty SICK :thumbsup:





Another thing I did was I had a discharged fire extinguisher....I pulled the handle from it and added a pump to its...It is now my pump soap dispenser..Citrus clear...


Throughout you can notice all the little details that were done in the theme of cars and garages....I have some more paiting and some finishing touches to do...and a bunch of other pictures to put up....

Took me a good two days to do it, but when you are done you will be so happy!
do you have any pictures with the black floor?
