Got the idea to get a little momento of each of our cars, past and present, to decorate the garage with. Since I’m a Euro car snob, that meant a whole bunch of Euro plates and 1 JDM. With wall space at a premium, I decided to place them on the sides of the cabinets with magnetic tape. Plenty...

The past year has flown by, but the garage has been great. Back in July, I finally just mounted the project center to the wall and rested it on the curb. Also got a PHEV so picked up this juicebox for charging. With the lack of wall space left over, the only place to hang my poster was in...

Picked the hottest few days of the year over Labor Day weekend to work on the garage but got a lot done. Decided to put up the 2nd 4’ x 8’ saferack so the overhead storage is complete. Also finished installing the missing section of insulation in the ceiling. While The ceiling was still...

Installed a 16’ x 3’ section of FlowWall. Now there is lots of configuration options for hanging items up on the wall and off the floor.

Thanks. They used a local company... Westcoat. Primer, epoxy, and PU clear coat.

It's been a lot of work since the last update, but I'm very happy with how the garage is turning out. Installed more electrical outlets along with a 14-50 plug for EV charging. Was also able to keep the unused dryer 10-30 outlet, so could charge 2 cars simultaneously. Hung the remaining...

So in the middle of the garage upgrades on the inside, we noticed some dry rot in the eaves of the roof. After consulting with a few roofing companies we decided to replace the entire section of the roof. The rest of the roof was replaced 6yrs ago so it was something we knew was coming...

[emoji106] I’ll put more details here since this thread is all my own. Now for the cabinets... I can’t even begin to count how many NewAge cabinet configurations I measured. Since the inset is 2.5’ deep, I wanted the pro series on that side. It seemed like a waste to put 18” deep bold cabinets...

OK, now the fun stuff. :D After some deliberation we decided to go with epoxy for the flooring about 5 weeks ago. It took 3 days with one coat per day: primer, epoxy & chips, and finally PU clear coat. I waited 5 days to park any cars in the garage and everything seemed OK. Really pleased with...

2 months ago we installed a 4' x 8' saferack which really helped get some sparsely used items up and out of the way. It came in a 2 pack from Costco, so we're leaning towards installing the 2nd one as well.

I just hung base cabinets over my washer & dryer with no issues. The pro base cabinets come with the same hanging mounts as the wall cabinets. The only issue I ran into was having to drilling new holes in the adjacent locker.

Great minds think alike [emoji6] I updated my posts above, but we actually changed the door and opener last year and got the Liftmaster 8500W. Luckily there was already an outlet on the side so it was plug and play. The app is intriguing because I’d like to know if I left the door open, but on...

Hey Glen! I had a W211 E55 for a little while which I had to sell last year. Currently have a MK7 GTI and a B8 A4 avant, but I’m on the hunt for a 911. Hopefully I can finish up the garage in time for a new arrival. How’s your garage looking these days?

Well the garage door and opener were actually upgraded last year. It took me a little bit to find the before and after pictures but here they are. It went from a cheap, non-insulated, painted door to fully boxed, insulated, and wood textured. The door gets full sun in the afternoon so we...

After many years of "this is more important than fixing the garage", the time has come. The garage is 20'x20' with a 13'x2.5' inset for washer/dryer, sink, and water heater. Overall, it's about 430sqft. Plans(in no particular order): 1. Garage door and opener upgrade 2. Flooring 3...
