    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Yes they do! Since then I did upgrade the garage door opener light bulbs to LED so the color temperature would match. Not much else has been going on in the garage because we are concentrating on remodeling the rest of the house. What started out as a simple project of painting the walls has...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Finally got around to doing something with the garage! While getting random household items I took a stroll down the lighting aisle and walked out with a pair of LED light fixtures! Can't believe I didn't do this sooner! Left side is the original, right is the new LED fixture: Both sides...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Not too many changes or updates for the garage. I finally got some posters from a friend of mine to put up on the walls. Although I might look into printing images of my current/prior cars instead, frame and hang them. By far the biggest change since the last post took place in the car...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Sorry it took me a while to reply. I don't know the name of them, but they were in the kitchen section of IKEA. They seem to sell similar cabinets, but the doors are different. Another thing to note about these that I didn't think about before: hinges are set up to open the door all the way up...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Yes, and they sometimes makes a world of difference too! This weekend I didn't do a whole lot in the garage...just filled the holes for the hooks that used to hold the black net on the ceiling. Since I had all the paint buckets out, I also went around the whole garage and filled all little dents...

    The Depressing Double Downsize

    It's small...but I drive a GTI, wife drives a Forester. If we both had bigger cars, there's no way we could squeeze past them. It also helps not to have anything along the walls :D

    The Depressing Double Downsize

    Nice to see another VW owner on here! Your garage is similar to mine...(I have less than 20x20' with low ceilings). I have a hanging rack that stores 5 bins and wife's Forester can fit underneath it with no issues. Rolling rack is a good idea on the back wall. I have to second or third what...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Did some more work this weekend on the garage. Learned how to splice into existing power outlets! Countertop power outlet is now live! Also started painting some of the random bits and pieces gray. Have to figure out how to do the garage door rails without removing them. Before: After...

    dubber's double

    Nice work! Have any plans for the R? Seems like it might already have aftermarket springs installed (VW Racing?).

    Thank you. This weekend I will install the rest and hopefully run power to the countertop. How are you liking your RaceDeck floor? Especially when the time comes to clean it? Winters tend to get really rainy here in WA, and I like the idea of the water draining down, but seems like keeping the...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    I must have a 6th sense because this morning on my way out I finally decided to measure the space. Rounded up it's 20x20...although actual concrete patch is smaller than that. Wife and I are planning on going through a bunch of the items along the sides of the garage and either tossing them or...

    My newly finished garage (Paint, New Age Cabinets, Racedeck Flooring, etc.)

    I feel your pain. Although one of my neighbors was able to get a shed approved. It is shorter than the fence and not visible from the road. HOA would not approve anything taller. Could be something worth exploring. Thanks for the RaceDeck info.

    This garage looks awesome! :thumbup: What type of racedeck tile did you go with?

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    I have come up with a rendering of what I want the back wall to look like when I'm finished with it. Main changes include gray color in the cabinet door's indentations (same gray as the bottom of the wall). Above the cabinets I want to build a shelf that has a vertically hinged door painted same...

    Pavlik's suburban 2-car garage

    Wifey does understand and lets me play around with them. Although I don't know if MK7 will see any mods before I sell it. Had it for 1 year and haven't done a single thing to it. In regards to the floor...white might be difficult to keep clean and I hear people say that hot tires do tend to...
