We made great progress today. Goofball helped me plan and layout the masking for the accent stripe. As with any painting project is the preparation key to results. We/I spent about two hours testing and layout tape. We settled on what is below. We found this little youtube clip, and it...

It was a week ago and I was roasting in the garage. The heat and humidity has passed, now I can work outside again. Made some progress yesterday with paint. Put on a second coat of white for the top of the walls, and I got two coats of grey on. Today I plan to mask and paint the blue accent...

Well summer is here. Really not fond of the heat advisories this past week. Yesterday I made it out to the garage about 6am. I starting painting the walls. I was done at 9:30am. The idea was to do the same today. But that did not happen. I got sucked into F1 qualifying and watched the race...

Thank you Marty. I wanted to share the masses my bad ideas for this project. I work in excel a bit for work so I know my way around it. I tried to find a layout software tool, but gave up. Excel to rescue to mimic old grid paper. One square equals 6". Winter configuration. Summer...

It never fails, too much to do, and too little time. We starting off with the plan to paint the ceiling and then start painting the walls today. That did not exactly happen. Goofball was able to help, but only for a little bit. She had other plans for the better part of the day. With no...

Yes, it is more comfortable. There is no insulation above the garage yet. The attic is a common space between the house and the garage. The house has almost 24" of blown in insulation. We are going to see how the garage is this winter and maybe next year we will blow in 12" of insulation...

So today I weaseled a half day at work. OK, not really. I asked, they said ok. I went home to paint. Why am I taking off of work to paint? This might not be one of my better ideas, but it is to late now. So I got down to business. Only after gathering the proper supplies. This was...

Here is the update at the end of the week. My electric guy finished the last of the lights. Then Thursday my drywall crew started insulating and hanging rock. Today left with the first coat of mud on and to dry over the weekend. So I have the weekend to go and play on the bikes...

Hello massive internet population of garage nutz. May I again be so foolish to entertain you all with a useless documentation of our garage build up. Yah, I did this once before. You know how the story goes... You outgrow your first home and move to new home with great big ideas! That is...

Looking good! Snowy.

Very nice! I dig the wall colors! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68942 Snowy.

Take a read of my build here. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68942 This was with Kilz primer and then Behr paint. The total job was one can of primer and I think one can of gray and white. I still needed two coats of color to get the results I wanted. Snowy.

Here are few more photos! As promised, a clock photo! It looks real slick and classy in the photo. Don't the pixels fool you, it is plastic! You can get your own at Kohl's! I also stuffed the cage into the garage today too! 2007 Pontiac G5. It is not a "Pony" car, or a "Toy" car, but I...

Tomorrow we will get you a photo of the clock. I also will get a photo of my car in the garage. Snowy.
