Finished Garage Pictures - Lots of Pics!

Alright, well the garage is completed! And I decided to create a new thread so people could see the work done. I don’t think the other thread was being followed as much because my camera cord to upload pictures got chewed up by my puppy so I had to order a new one. Here are the pictures…Comments/questions welcome.

Floor Before:


-whole garage standing back



Left side standing by electrical box straight on



-right side standing back



-Corner where the 27" tv will be mounted above the cabinets to hold recyling bins

Looks great! You sure do have alot of 'stuff'!

Can the TV output sound to an inexpensive amp, with at least two speakers? I think sound (everywhere) in the garage is SOO-o important. When we do this for 10-12 hours, we need several kinds of help...

Wanna run thru the application procedure for the floor paint? Inquiring minds want to know!

Me? I'm about to do a 'major' project on the floor of our "B" Shop.

I'll try to do step by step photo review. Soon.

Jim

Thanks for all the compliments so far! - ^ not pictured in these pictures, we have 2 speakers mounted in those cieling beams, I will take pictures tomorrow for you. So far we only have them hooked up to the radio sitting next to the tv, we are still seeing if there is some way we can run them too the tv as well, (they are a little older). It sounds good with the radio on with those speakers where they are placed, hopefully we can hook the tv up as well.

For the floor we simply used Quikrete Epoxy found at lowes, it comes with the acid to clean the floor. What we did was fill in any cracks/pitting in the floor with a vinyl cement repair, we then proceeded to clean the floor with the acid, scrubbing, scrubbing, etc...then for the epoxy it took about 2 1/2 hours. Very easy process, simpler than I thought. Laid down very easy..This is a real basic run through of what we did...if you have any specific questions feel free to ask. The floor was in rough shape stain wise before we started...even though all the stains were not removed, the epoxy easily covered them all up.

As for my "stuff" are you referring to the products on the shelves or the crap on the floor. If its the stuff on the shelves..It looks like Im going to have my dad make more shelving to put up on the pegboards for the order I just placed
