The cabinets are just under 2', like 22 inches. I went with the width that would accommodate the stereo receiver without it being too narrow/too wide. Thanks for the suggestion...however it looks like your photobucket account has run out of bandwidth to see all the pics in your thread...

Not too much has been done recently, but still a few updates to post. Technically not part of the garage, but I consider my shed critical in keeping the garage tidy, so I'm including a couple pictures of before and after. Before: After my homemade shelving brackets and scrap wood from...

Thanks for the feedback! The shelves are from Ikea. The metal ends cap the board, while providing mounting holes that are drilled down to the OSB backing. So no, the end caps are not attached to the wall cabinets, though they may look so because the spacing is pretty slim and I aligned it...

I decided the mounting height based on the amount of wall height I had, along with proportionality to the tool boxes. This resulted in my inability to reach the highest shelf without a little stepstool (and a bit of difficulty without a step for even the middle shelf). I was ok with this as I...

I certainly enjoy and use my garage a lot differently now than I used to...it's now a very pleasant place to spend time in, and as in the case just yesterday, to detail the car in the garage was night and day from what it used to be! I used Behr's concrete stain...

Thanks. Going for the plain and uncluttered look made for a reduction in storage ability in the garage. I'm now working on organizing the adjacent backyard shed that will house a lot of the stuff that would otherwise have been in my garage. Just building shelves and such, so nothing complicated...

Mounted the Gladiator wall cabinets. I had to use a backer as the stud locations were not close to what I needed. Mounted with a lot of screws and lag bolts. I cut the OSB with an extra strip underneath the cabinets, which will serve as the top of the frame of a pegboard I intend on putting...

Glad I can be of any help. Anything I can do to return the favor on this forum. If I found gear track cheap I'd do it...but haven't come across a deal (Canada is not ideal for deals). I have not had a chance to live with the RaceDeck for long so I reserve judgment till after the winter slush...

Just wanted to say your 911 looks amazing. I track too, but with a car that is a good 1000 pounds heavier. I'd love for my next car to be a 911...we'll see :)

Absolutely agree. No luxury of having a side nook or anything. Though, I do have a sizeable shed right beside the garage, so my next project is actually to put a ton of shelving to optimize that space and minimize the need to store stuff in the garage. Your garage is awesome, and I will take...

My garage is still in progress, but here's a pic of my Mustang's first night in its new home

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. @Gentle_Ben- the garage floor crack goes across, creating a bit of a dip a quarter way in from the front. So unfortunately, regardless of the pits in the concrete, a bit of water would still pool :( It is not a big dip at all, but just enough to...

Re: Rick's Audi Double Chad, your garage certainly is the 'big boy' edition. It's awesome. I'd love to have a 3-car garage! Rick, as requested, here's my new thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251599 We should make a club for those who have black/red/graphite Freeflow...

Racedeck time! I wanted to avoid the extra $300 to have Racedeck shipped to my home in Canada, so I had it shipped to the States and made it a little weekend roadtrip. Who said a Mustang isn't a practical, spacious car? :lol: Admittedly, some strategy and unpacking of a couple boxes were...

We decided on a grey overall look; the sides are a bit lighter than the front and rear walls. Put on door casing on a previously uncased door. So much easier and fun using a brad nailer I got for $5! Used concrete stain for the lower footing portion. We also painted an inch or so of the...
