What a great story of sheer perseverance. I admire you for sharing that with us. As far as the garage, WOW! Setting up garages could almost be a side business for you two. No joke. Your finished product is every bit as good if not better than what I see from the commercial outfits like Complete Garage, etc. However, it will bring tears to your eyes the first time you smack one those pristine white walls with a buffer or other piece of equipment! Best of luck – we definitely want to see some new threads when you get into high gear.

Thanks so much. I don`t have a lot of time to Click and Brag anymore because I am so busy and it does take some time, but I told my fiancee last night...these guys would want to see it. I`ve been around these boards a while and while I don`t post that often, it`s been a part of who I am today in a detailing sense.



Believe it or not, I posted the pictures first on my Facebook profile and business page and I got three requests to do garages within 12 hours. It`s something we definitely started looking into.



The white walls are great. I went with Valspar high gloss interior/exterior and believe me...I kept some for touch up.



I laughed this morning when we got into our car and my fiancee said, don`t look down...the floor is covered in winter residue :D I told her don`t worry, the mop is always in the corner.:chuckle:



Thanks again......

That was the exact idea and I`m glad it comes through . I wanted it to look like a cross between an automotive salon and a studio (something like that:think:) I went through 3 different floor designs and even a last minute change. I couldn`t have been happier. Sometimes I just sit in the office and look at the pictures....over and over. I am freaking out on the inside like a kid with a new trick bike (I remember getting my first GT Pro Performer in 1988 when I was 11 and that`s exactly how I feel). I definitely feel blessed.

Those cabinets look great and are nice and sturdy once installed, but were such a pain. I ordered a total of 12 cabinets. 10 of which are installed. The other two in the basement. But, I had to return 7 of the 12 (4 of them more than once) because they kept getting damaged in shipping. Of course they had to be repacked everytime and on the phone with HD for hours. It was I would say a nightmare and I don`t recommend them. They are great now, but for the same price I could have had wall units made and none of the headaches. But I am happy with them now and if we move, I can take them with me.

garage looks great, once I get my place, I will be converting the garage into a detail shop, then have everyone drop off their car to me so I can spend a couple days on it.



Looks good, good luck with the revamp!
