Great little beer fridge. We bought a similar looking one for my bro recently but had to return it as it couldn't keep things cold very well. Looks great in your space.

I was worried about that too and heard that issue. So far so good. At least I like wine and will use it for that at worst.

ya sure like your red things :D awesome Garage and some awesome toys there too.

I really do love red. I really try to get myself to buy nice blue or black cars but I just can't seem to get myself to do it! Oh well...

Loading a few goodies in the fridge. Sure was nice to grab a couple while mowing the yard this evening.


Nice shot. (just a quick one from the iphone though)

Thanks guys. I put my pic over there in the night thread. I ordered my neon sign and anxious to set up my tripod for some nice night shots.

Today I'm planning to finish the track lights and the last tread plate riser.

Progress Update: Got my neon sign up and of course had to hide the cord which looks much better. I have it and my led undercab lights hooked to motion sensors so they kick on when I walk to the work bench. Looks so cool at night with just the neon and undercab lights on. :rocker:

Also got my top piece of tread plate on the stair riser. Really ties nicely with the backsplash.

Track lights are all up too.

and the best news is I ORDERED SOME RACEDECK! That 4th of July sale snagged me. I already had good quote but they gave just enough more to pull out the wallet. Should be here in less than two weeks. That will really put the main finishing touch on the garage.

The whole build is phenomenal, and the Hopsecutioner is a great way to top it off!

Thanks!

Well done, all aspects!

Thank you!

Yep this makeover has truly been addictive and impossible to stop! I really can't wait for the RD to go down though. I bet it will make a bigger difference than I realize. It should arrive next Thursday so you know what I'll be doing next Saturday morning (if I can actually go to sleep friday night ;)

Might have missed it, but where did you get the under counter lights and how do you like them?

Hi I got the LED tape lights on ebay and bought the transformer from Home Depot. HD sells these strips lights online too but they were out at the time. I really like them and they were super easy since you can cut the strip to length and adhere it to the bottom of the cabinets (has a backing tape on it).

Put out pretty good light and I don't mind leaving them on since they draw so little energy and especially heat. Here is a link to HD or I think "Superbright LED's" on ebay has them.

And here I was all excited to see your fri night racedeck install when I saw you post. The suspense builds.

ha ha no kidding. The truck is now showing up tomorrow between 10am and 12pm. Still won't do a ton of the work until the following weekend but you can bet I'll be opening some boxes and dropping some down every night this week!

If anyone is debating between RaceDeck and epoxy, let me ask you this: when was the last time there was THIS much anticipation and excitement about someone throwing down an epoxy coating? 'Nuff said!

RaceDeck FTW!

AMEN RICK!!

Couldn't help tearing into boxes and after 20 minutes and my boys helping we had a lot down. This going to look so freaking good. I keep going out and flipping on the lights. The red is my favorite. It looks SO good in person.

Really looking forward to seeing it all laid down. It's going to be my new favorite for sure. I agree about the red, it's a great tone.

thanks and thanks again for the great idea you had of running some red down the middle to border the single and double bays. That is going to be my favorite part having more of that great looking red down the middle of the garage.

No problem, I'm glad you ran with that idea.

The light just seems to dance of all the "ribs" in the tiles. It will be spectacular.

It looks like you and your boys are sure having fun putting the RD 'icing' on the cake!

So, are they bugging you yet to have RD on their bedroom floor? lol

Oooooh! Great idea for the next project ha ha. Yes tonight they begged me to go let them put more down when I got home. Pretty cool. I guess this Racedeck company is pretty good a pre-brand brainwashing the next generation!
