[spekterg35]

Hey guys, thanks for the inspiration. Unfortunately i have no foresight, so i forgot to take some before pics. Here is where i'm at now. I'm hoping to get more decorating done soon. Enjoy the pics.

Nice! What did you do to your floor?

 

[spekterg35]

Just the Behr 2 part floor coating from Home Depot. So far it is holding up (3 Months). We'll see how it is in a year.

Looks like the majority of the budget went to filling the parking spaces

How much was the Behr and how much area does each kit cover?

The Behr Kits were $75 each at Home Depot. They are supposed to cover 250 sq ft each. I used 2 whole kits for just over 400 sq ft.

how do you get the bikes so tight to wall

 

[spekterg35]

Rear stands and practice.

I like the accent wall and love the Z06! I don't recall seeing very many garages with ceilings that follow the pitch of the roof like that.

Digging the two wheeled rides, very nice! And the color matching wall is great. Kinda makes me think.
..which usually hurts.

Do you think you have adequate lighting in a garage that size? My garage is about the same size and I was planning on using 2 2-bulb fixtures very similar to those.

That's the one area I'm not really happy with currently. I'm planning on adding more lighting eventually, I'm just not really sure where.

That's what I was going to ask...

Where's all your junk? Surely you're a collector like the rest of us..?

I've got another garage with a motor, trans and a bunch of fluids. Also a shed full of car/bike parts as well. And a couple of storage containers in the back yard. I'm still in the process of organizing all of my stuff, so it's not all in there yet. I am trying to maintain a "minimalist" atmosphere in this garage. Tools, some entertainment, necessary equipment. Just the stuff i need to comfortably work on mine and my friend's cars.

Really good. A good bench would finish that 100%. Sweet setup.

Thanks! Still working on the bench. The small wood one will end up in my shed once i clear it out. I'm trying to be careful about maximizing my use of space which is making decisions on things like workbenches difficult. Any recommendations? I plan on building a shelf along the back wall which should clear up some space. Something like this:

That's about how my setup looks like now that I've built a bench, except the roller toolbox and the water heater are swapped.
