Freqent lurker/reader, but I deemed this project post-worthy. Hopefully the pics will work.
I finally got the time, materials, talent, money, etc all together to get my garage the way I`ve always wanted it.
Sorry, no "before" pics, but think standard 2-car garage. 2 common walls finished, otherwise bare studs, 1 light bulb, 1 electrical outlet...a generally unfun place for an enthusiast and his cars.
Today`s garage: Insulated walls, 10 outlets, 6-48" lamps, epoxy`ed floor, painted masonry, slick clean walls, tons of storage space, open floor space, a big work bench...etc.
On to the pics!
The whole thing:
Closeup of the work/storage area. All Coleman brand cabinetry. Reasonably priced at Lowes.
Gotta have a lot of light!
Epoxy floor from Rustoleum. Standard Lowes/Home Depot kit. Working quite well. If you`ve done one, 90% of success is in the prep.
Painted masonry and rubber cove molding to protect against water.
Storing, jacks, ramps, polisher+supplies, bits/drivers, electrical cables, floodlamp, helmets, air tank...
Detailing gear anyone?
Wheel storage (ahh, blessed floorspace returned!) posts from Griot`s Garage
Also note wall-mounted Shop-Vac, tool storage, and cheap radio picking up Sirius from the indoor device, so plenty of music
Water, cold and hot pumping through anchored reel unit. Ridiculously over-engineered ball-bearing stainless German quick connects on hoses too!
Also note heater. We have season in Ohio, but it`s always 80 in here.
Any enthusiast garage has to have some checkered flag action
