Oh that looks awesome. I think I'll try that before I box them out totally.

Thanks for the kind words. I like the idea of spray painting the springs and leaving them as - is. I think I may try that before I box everything in. That front wall is a real pain, because everything sticks out in a different spot and it will be a nightmare to make look presentable. But, as...

SO this weekend opportunity, ambition and a paint sale all intersected and I was able to finally paint the garage. Friday night, I painted the lower portion of the walls with two coats of the darker colour. Saturday afternoon, I painted the upper portion of the walls with two coats of the...

I hadn't even thought that once covered I'd get bleed through, but it makes sense. I'm just happy to have a bright space finally! Well then it seems to be settled, I will go get some Kilz tomorrow and apply a liberal coating all over. I used that in my last house and loved it; but the...

A major project milestone happened tonight; my first coat of primer. After sitting exposed for nearly 13 years, the drywall was thirsty. The walls and ceiling sucked up 2 gallons like nobody's business. I haven't yet decided whether or not to put a second primer coat on yet, but I'll decide by...

Well guys, it's been about 7 months since I last updated this thread. The Canadian winter was horrible, so as I didn't finish the mudding of the garage prior to winter, I didn't really have a reasonable opportunity to do anything. My two excuses are: I have an unheated garage, and I...

Nice! More on the car if you please.

Thanks, unfortunately this project has taken a bit of a back seat lately due to some family issues and such, but I plan on sanding the second coat of mud tomorrow. As for the pot lights, I need to go see my local hardware store about them tomorrow as well. Rona has LED pot lights, but given my...

I read through your thread last week, and I just wanted to say that I love your workspace. Beyond that, however, your rigs are gorgeous and remind me of old-school Breezers and other high end custom fabbed bikes.

Thanks for the kind words guys, after 5 years of hearing me bleat on about wanting one, my wife finally had enough and told me to just buy the damn thing. This just blows me away how people just pop holes in their walls. Dubber, I think the only things that will be in the garage are car...

Thanks, I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one whose PO liked to poke holes into the wall like it was his job. As a funny coincidence, my great-grandparents lived in Freelton when I was a kid. This weekend was mostly busy doing family stuff as it was our Canadian Thanksgiving, however, I did...

I like that idea, I think I have some left over from when I did my workshop floor in the old house. This project is shaping up to be a lot of work. I sanded the mud on Monday night, and the condition of the existing room was deplorable. I am going to try to get some mud put on tonight and...

I like that idea. I'm going to wait to see what kind of space we have when we get into the garage and live with it full time for a bit, but that sounds like and awesome idea. Now a question for the gurus: What have you done at the foundation/drywall interface to hide the concrete? Drywall...

I know what you mean about the walls. We paid extra at the last house, and it was worth every penny. This house, being 12 years old, we didn't have that option I'm afraid. Tell me more about race deck. How easy was it to install, and how we'll do they treat us Canucks? The most important...

I've now attached the drawing directly, and you're right, the red doesn't show up very well but I will be putting the NSX in the left bay. I like your other ideas about storage though and will be liberating several of them for my own use. As I said earlier, the only thing I want in the garage...
