Well here it is...

[RHM]

Here is my new garage. The downstairs contains 1,200 sf centrally heated and cooled with vct flooring. The upstairs is a finished loft containing approximately 600 sf which is also centrally heated and cooled.

The garage has 200 amp power with 220 available in the garage. I used 18 can lights but do not feel like I have enough. Anyway, this project was started prior to hurricane Ivan and I am just now getting finished.

I am glad I found this site, I never knew there were guys out there that enjoyed their garages as much as I did.

Very nice garage! Do you plan on adding some more lighting in addition to the can lights?

[RHM]

I have some Gladiator Garage Works stuff on order that I am going to install along with my existing tool boxes, etc... I am going to see how the lighting is once I get everything setup.

If I find the lighting deficient I will add lights for specific work areas like over the workbench, sides, etc... At this point I am going to just enjoy it for a while. The Gladiator stuff is two weeks out and I am in no hurry. I am just glad to be finished with the project, I started in August then Ivan blew through and put everything on a standstill for a couple of months.

I don't even have a sports car to park in the garage at present. I've owned three 911's in the past but have three teenagers driving now so I am waiting till they get weaned then it is back to sports cars again.

I did buy a Suzuki DRZ 400 and 250 for my son and I to ride. Those will reside in the new garage along with my 03 Chevy truck. I have another detached garage that my wife parks her Honda Odyssey and CRV in. In addition to that, I have a 4 stall barn with three sides on it, that is where the kids park there cars.

Regards to all,

Looks killer!!

Did you do the floor yourself? How long did it take you?

[RHM]

Hello Hot Rod:

No, I didn't do the floor myself. I got the name of an installer who charged me $.50 per sf. He got here today (Sunday 3/13) around 8:00 am and was out the door by 12:00. He also installed the base mold and put a small amount of roll vinyl in a bathroom I have in another detached garage. Basically it cost me $600.00 to have the floor layed and another $100.00 for the sheet vinyl in the other garage for a total of $700.00.

I was happy to pay it. I am in Pensacola and all the contractors are extremely busy due to work from hurrican Ivan. They got here when they said they would and did a great job.

awesome garage! is the blue strip also vct?

[RHM]

Hello Lucky:

I see you are in Fl so you probably got some dust up from some of the hurricanes too. All the floor is vct. I actually miscalculated how much yellow border I would need and was 6 tiles short on yellow. I had the "T" the blue. I am now trying to decide whether to go ahead and order the additional yellow tiles or just leave the blue "T" in.

Beautifull garage. Great start. I would of used 2x2 groups of colors instead of every other one but is still a sharp looking space you got!!!
