Ok thanks very much for the advise! So I guess I should power wash the floor first, paying attention to the areas where the water beads up. Then clean those areas specifically. How is an acid wash performed, and roughly how much would that cost for 1000sqft of concrete? Your advise is...

Alright, so we've just gotten ourselves a new house, and it has a full basement underneath, which is 25'x42'. The house is 25 years old, and I need some advice concerning the best way to go about coating it. I see a lot of people coating their garage floors, but usually the concrete is fresh...

Sweett garage!! :) Love the character of your place! And sweet collection of cars too! Between all the french cars, and the pictures you've shown us, it almost looks like france! I myself currently live in the UK, and have owned a couple of french cars, (from the early 90's, so newer than...

Hmm yea the idea of making sure the house is sealed off from exhaust fumes is a good valid point! From speaking with dad, i think this is going to become the 'everyday use' garage, as well as home to our Fiat Spider and Oldsmobile Curved Dash until we get the big detached garage done. In my...

Wow good stuff, didn't know something like this existed!! Thats great to keep in the back of my mind, even if we don't end up enclosing the area underneath the deck for a workshop! If nothing else, it would make for a nice dry patio/ BBQ area in addition to the screened in porch! Thanks, yea...

Alright, so a while back I posted about some plans my dad and I had for an 8 car garage with a loft/apartment above it. At that point we didn't have a house in the United States, however my parents just got back from a house-hunting trip to the US, and we've now got a new place! I'll skip the...

Sweet idea, we did something similar to this in our motorbike shed, had a shelf about 4 ft off the ground about 4x12 that was big enough for a go-kart and a few minibikes, then we could back motorcycles in under the shelf as well. The only thing is there was no ramp, so all the bikes and the...

Haha I'm from NC, lived in Greensboro most of my life (moved from Atlanta GA but consider myself from NC) and its a great place to live. Your only a few hours from some great beaches in N and S Carolina, and only a couple hours from the mountains with some of the best driving roads in the...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Wow! What a beautiful garage! You did a beautiful job with the planning, construction, fit, and finish; everything is gorgeous! :bowdown: I think I speak for everyone when i say this garage is really an...

How bout one of these: Thats the only kinda hook you need right there! :bounce: Someone took something so simple and thought waayyy too hard about it. :headscrat

Haha thats the one thing that keeps me from being extremely sad about his passing is knowing he really enjoyed his life! So yes, he certainly did enjoy his cars! He was 86, and still living life to the full! I've never known another person who enjoyed life like my grandfather! He was living...

Haha yea the cars are nice. I've driven many of them before as well, my grandpa was always very generous in that respect. Ah right yea I get what you mean. Hmm yea I could just have tools kind of up against the front and back wall in the center so that its easy to get to. The only problem I...

I figured while I was at this you guys would appreciate seeing some pictures of my grandfathers garage(s) He unfortunately passed very suddenly in January, but he loved collecting cars very much, and had two attached garages on his house, as well as a separate garage/shop about 15 minutes from...

Thanks for the welcome! And yea, I'm moving with my dad, I still live with my mom/dad/sister. I'm starting at a community college next year, and then after a year or so I'll be moving out to go to a proper university, so I've got a couple more years to enjoy the garage. :bounce: Can you...
