Bump to close out my garage renovation thread:
Furniture: top Ikea, bottom Craftsman. Pegboard painted black behind
Build custom shelving with bumper protectors all around.
LED lights above
Wired for 220v
Polished epoxy with non-slip surface (sand mixed in)
Super happy with the end...
Bluedodge thanks!! That is an awesome idea!
That is exactly what I will do. Can't believe I didn't think about it before. This is why I love this place. So many great ideas!

Quick update
I've been taking my sweet time between work and Business School.
My parents and in-laws came over to help with spackling and sheet rock. 5/8 sheet rock went on the ceiling (up to code). Decided against recessed cans - bought three 4FT long LED panels - will provide sufficient...

I've got 110V outlets on two breakers.
The three 220V outlets are all on one, but only one will be used at the same time...depends on where our future electric car will be parked :)
Okay quick update.
We connected the hot/cold water piping (tested - everything is leak-free), ran 240V lines and insulated the garage. We also fixed faulty return lines that were sucking air from the garage ceiling insulation (poor design)

Total 110V outlets: 7
