First house! Garage makeover!

[qballjr13]

Rest of the house - I`m not single....that should answer the question sufficiently

Doesn`t anybody like my new car????? T

Gotcha, Love the new car, very very sweet! Where in Mass are you?

I am trying to sell my house and the house we have a deposit on has an oversized two car garage and I can not wait to set it up!!! Thanks for the insperation!

[imported_DieselMDX]

I looking into getting that floor covering and lighting

thanx

Great job man...congrats on your first garage

[Way2SSlow]

Looks awesome. That`s what I`d love my garage to look like when I buy a place. IMO, that garage would have even been nice if you left it alone and just parked the C6 in there.

Great makeover! Love those cabinets. I appreciate the SCCA sticker on the Vette.

Are the floor pads floating or are they stuck to the concrete? If they are floating is there any chance that at the seam line in the middle or at the end where the garage door is moisture can enter, especially in the NE winters where things can get quite messy?



Oh yeah and it all looks great, I haven`t seen a cleaner 1 car garage as far as I can remember.

I was going to ask the same thing about the cabinets!! Very nice and I bet spendy but I would really love to have some like that! Did Sears build them up as well or they came together

[Floorithoney]

Nice Job! You really made that place shine. Obviously a lot of time and effort went into your makeover...



Two Questions for you:

1) can you give us a ballpark cost for the total renovation?



2) What did you do with all the stuff in the before photos?

No way in the world did you get it all to fit into those few cabinets?!?!?!!?



Again - GREAT JOB!

Floor Covering: Bought it at costco - $169 for a 7.5x11 foot roll. Lights were purchased at home depot - I forget the price but they are nothing special - basic shop lights. For detailing I use your usual halogens and incandescent work lights.



The floor pads are NOT stuck to the concrete - and for a reason. I can easily remove them if there is a moisture issue, and for periodic cleaning. They are VERY easy to work with as they are a nice soft, flexible rubber. They can be glued down, but I don`t see the benefit. As I won`t be driving the car in the winter, slush/mess isn`t an issue for me. Even if it were, you could just pull them out in the spring and give them a good cleaning.



The cabinets are NOT expensive relative to the cost of "gladiator garage" and other brands. I think total I paid around $650 for the cabinetry. I put it together myself, and it wasn`t a hassle - total work time of about 3 hours.



All the stuff in the before photos wasn`t mine - it was the previous owners. I took that picture the day we made an offer on the house. You can see the disrepair that the garage was in.



Total cost of the renovation was about $1500 (cabinets, paint, flooring, lights) and alot of time spent cleaning and rewiring. The "stuff" in the garage NOW is all stuff I had before buying the house.

Quite the transformation!

Danggggggggg! Nice turnaround!

If you did as much in the rest of the house as you did in the garage, We`ll probably see it in Architectural Digest.
