[njsteve]

Started the project a year ago last August. Have posted some pictures before but this winter finish the ceiling. My buddy came over and took some new pictures. Here a few:

Also found a before pic.

great improvement! I like the battery chargers all lined up! I need to do that with mine one of these days....

I love the fan! I looked at that one for my out door kitchen project I still have yet to fininsh. Only problem I had it that it is not out door rated.

You did an excellent job with that space. I like the choice of colours too. It flows very well. Nice work!

 

[hguerrero]

very nice work....killer fan...floor looks fantastic!
what do you think you spent total on this project?

 

[cobymedic]

Wow! What a difference, great job. You got alot of stuff in a little space and you still have all kinds of open space.

I love the fan to!! That thing is probably the nicest fan I have ever seen. I have a fan in the roof of my garage, but it is just a normal white indoor ceiling. I was planning on ditching it, but now this gives me ideas!! Were did you find something like that?

 

[tatra]

fan fan here too..........post a link to the manufacturer please.........looks good the reat too........

 

[goodfellow]

That is an excellent job!! Looks like part garage and part home office -- very good design in maximizing space! You should be proud, that is good work.

Great work with a small space and for those of you looking for that FAN Lowes is where I saw it hanging today . I like it but its too rich for my garage .

Nicely done!

 

[UN4GTBL]

Nice job man!

 

[ProGun3400]

Looks way cool. I need a month or so of two day weekends to finish mine. I'm going to try and get the rest of the Garage Deck tiles down this weekend.

Is that your wifes PP Cruiser?

Seriously I had to rent one for a trip and I for sure parked in teh back back 40 and made sure no one was looking cause I felt uber gay with that thing.

 

[CarWashGuy]

Awesome garage!

 

[Topcat]

Mighty impressive

I am about to start mine, some smooth work!

 

[porschedude996TT]

HUGE IMPROVEMENT! Where did you find the fan/light/fan combo?

 

[ELS]

Looks great, where did the snowblower and bikes go?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Looks great, cannot even tell it is the same garage!

 

[njsteve]

Thanks for the replies.

what do you think you spent total on this project? I am not 100% sure but roughly $ 3500.

Where did you find the fan/light/fan combo? Bought at Lowes @ $ 160.00

Where in jersey are you? Wayne / North Jersey

where did the snowblower and bikes go? Put up a shed out in the back

Is that your wifes Pt Cruiser? No / since I am pushing 280 HP in the convertible / Been a PT Cruiser Addictic since 2001 / my daily driver is also a GT both turbos

Here's a pic of the cars

 

[shopking68]

That is the nicest 1 car garage I have ever seen! good job.

 

[Omphaloskeptic]

Great redo! The fan/light, neon clock, and the PT's all have that 'retro' look to them. Did Chrysler ever make a 'delivery sedan'? The closest I could find to be a grandfather to the PT Cruiser was this:

Thought the old Chrysler picture(s) might look good hanging on the garage wall watching over their 'new fangled progeny'.

 

[Lamdog]

wow ... is that same garage? Great job!

 

[nate379]

More power to you on that one. Even if they made 1000hp I wouldn't drive one by choice haha.

Rental was from the Dodge house. They told me they pretty much couldn't give them away so they turned them into rentals.

Thanks for the replies.

Nice PTs...I almost bought one. They are fast little buggers

 

[nate379]

Have to admit it did some mean burnouts.

 

[EDEX]

Great job. What kind of heating is that? I have a garage about the same size and looking to see works. Gas ?? Thanks

 

[njsteve]

I have a 45 k gas Big Maxx heater. A little oversize for my garage. But the heater from Northern Tools was much cheaper than a 30k. Had to put in a Ranco thermo so it would not cycle so much. Got the info here on the thermo from one of the members who was using it.

Got the thero here:

here's some closeups

Very slick little garage! It gives me hope for my own.

 

[tpshotta]

Nice looking garage. What do you think of your Craftsman hose reel? I've thought of getting one of those myself, but there are quite a few negative reviews on Sears website regarding that product.

I purchase the reel before I saw the reviews and before I mounted it. So I was a little concern. But I don't think its that bad. It works well coming out. Going in gives a little bit of trouble. I probably use it once a week but if I use it every day I would get something better.

Good to know. I'll keep my eye on it for a sale price - currently $79.

 

[Stargeezer]

very cool single-car make-over. Shows what you can do. Looks like you are all set up. Nice.

 

[Old61]

Nice clean space!

 

[patrick66]

That is a kickass little single-car garage! Looks very efficient.

I, too, am a PT fan! Owned an '03 PT GT, then got an '06 Touring Convertible. Both were/are the wife's car(s). The '03 was black, and the '06 is Cool Vanilla.

 

[EDEX]

Hey NJSteve,
Thanks for the response about the heaters. I'm here in NY, a bit chilly and need to add one.

 

[fomocoforrester]

From the Chinook fan to the MoPa clock, that is a really neat little space.

Congratulations on the trophies - what are they for ?

What's the mesh on the lower panel of the interior door for - from the scratch marks on the door - maybe some sort of animal control ?

 

[TejasBimmer]

Bad ***!

Great job.

 

[njsteve]

Congratulations on the trophies - what are they for ? Trophies are for the 2001 PT that I use to own and a few for the convertible at various car shows.


What's the mesh on the lower panel of the interior door for - from the scratch marks on the door - maybe some sort of animal control ? For my Boxer has a problem chewing the door if he is left in the garage and someone comes home and does not let him in. Still a pup but getting better.

 

[Topcat]

top job you've done there!

I like the blue carport to

 

[Airat]

And what is the floors? what are the names? and where can I buy them?
