New (to me) Garage

[Stylinhonda]

Yeah I just read on the site, they give you about 6lbs of flakes lol. Ha yep, I have not got a chance to race the S2000 CR yet though



Got some bulbs tonight, when you just have one light on, they don`t look like they produce that much light. I hope when all 10 are up on the ceiling they are bright enough to light up the garage.



Here is a pick of the exposed brick on the left wall. Can`t decide what to do with it.











Also looking to clean up around the garage door. The wires and such.







You can see there is one, t12 with 40 watt fixture up now. Not much light at all when the garage door is shut. Pic`s takin with two other H lights on.

Got the Ceiling painted yesterday and installed the first 2 lights out of 10. These 2 are on the main switch from inside of the home. A switch in the garage by the new box and breakers will turn on the rest of the 8 lights.



Next is to hand the rest of the lights, fix small holes and the big ones you see by the new box, and smooth out the old dirty walls.



Any ideas on a trim piece I can use to go from the drywall to the floor? That bare concrete and how the drywall is all chipping away at the bottom looks ehh.

Got a little progress!



After: Floor sucks, but once it`s warmer the coating can go on.























Crappy Wall Socket Cover, but it`s the only thing that would work at the moment.







The 10 T8`s.....Going to have to think of a way to clean up the wires.







Any ideas on a trim piece for the base? One wall has a gap as seen int he second picture. So I was thinking of a flexible rubber type molding, but my dad thinks it will look like ***. Also the floor slopes down the whole way to the garage door for drainage.

Some evenly spaced staples or clamps would go a long way to cleaning up the wires.



I would try painting the concrete baseboard the same color as the wall untill you find something more permanent.

I would fix any chipping drywall with mud, caulk the seam/gap and paint the concrete base same as the floor when you do it. It would look clean and hold up better to stuff bumping into it then base or trim would.



For the wires staples as mentioned above or those plastic hat channel covers for hiding power/cable wires would work well and you could paint them to match the ceiling.

Wow. Looking good so far! What brand/paint color is that on the walls/ceiling? I love the way it looks with the black window trim.

well, you can drill up into the attic and hard wire them, then you can even drop them onto a single switch, or as someone suggested, you can use staples and paint the cords to match the ceiling.



looks nice and bright.

Staples would be your best and easiest bet... Unless you have an outlet in your rafters it wouldn`t look good if ran your wires through the drywall... they look good, but next time with a more permanent light set up I would recommend getting some hard wired lights.... Other than that garage and cars both look great... love to see some nice man caves like that!
