Maybe look for a way to hang shelves up high that way you can keep the lower parts of the walls clear. You'll have more clearance for opening doors, walking around the car and detailing that way.

Well, not quite a single car garage but a single car in a garage ;) I had a small single car garage at my apartment and it was still enough space to do a full detail with a Porter Cable so you'll be fine. Since you have a smaller space you can consider some of the more expensive flooring...

The previous occupants of my house left me with a Bose satellite system which I quickly relocated to the garage :) They're really too small for that amount of space tho and I think I'm going to add a second smaller sub to fill in. I've got a portable MP3 player hooked up to a cheapy Yamaha...

Thanks Jim, I will take a look. I don't want to permanently box them in because I'm thinking it'd be better if they had some air circulation and for servicing. I'm thinking I could probably do a temporary partition with the peg board tho. This is a fantastic site and now that its here I can't...

That's a thought. There is a bathroom on the other side of that wall that I really don't need.

I'm trying to setup my garage primarily for detailing and some minor maintenance work and I'd like to keep the place looking as clean as possible. Unfortunately I've got the furnace and hot water tank stuffed in the one corner and they're a bit of an eyesore. I was thinking about getting those...

Great info guys, thanks!

Hi all, I've noticed quite a bit of light (and water and bugs) around the edges of my garage door and I'd like to add some weatherstripping of some sort to seal it up a bit better. I'm not too worried about losing heat thru it but I'd like to keep the bugs and dust out and seal the bottom better...

Well hello Mr Pope, that's a purty yellow car but what about your garage? ;)
