Almost done with my garage ...

A while back I started working on getting my garage in decent shape. Well, I'm almost there.

Here are some before pics:

(Bear in mind I did not keep my stuff like this but due to lack of storage I had quite a bit around the perimeter of the floor)



Ugly wall


Stained floor

Working on the floor stains ( I was able to get most of them out, those that didn't come out were almost unnoticable)



Floor covered with Rustoleum Epoxy



Getting there

Still have a few minor things to do but I'm almost there. I know my garage does not look as professional as some others have done. It may seem as nothing really matches but given that the whole thing cost me $120 ($60 epoxy + $60 shelf rack, everything else I've had from my previous life) I'm satisfied.
And I finally have shelves that aren't overflowing

Any comments (not too critical) are welcome.

I love the indoor water spout!

I think it looks great! Just fill up those shelves with your detailing products and your all set to go!

Thanks Bill. Most of my detailing stuff is in the enclosed hanging cabinet, rubbermaid boxes and .... in my trunk

I like bicycles and I would suggest a bike rack. Keeps the bike out of the way. You can get a wall mouont one for <$10 from home depot or a nice pulley ceiling mount one from Target for $20 (Racor brand).

if you don't get a bike rack, atleast turn it around so if it falls, it hits the wall instead of your car.

LOL I figured that. That's how the bike was positioned when I was taking the picture. There is no way I would allow anything to touch my car, especially my current car
