Agreed - still need to tone down the orange by adding other color into the mix. This is all by design though too though - as my wife & I both own blue cars. So although there is no blue on the walls - it all still works together when the cars are parked inside. :D

Being 21 years old - some of these cars need a decent amount of gaskets replaced - mine's due for an upper oil pan gasket, intake manifold gaskets & valve cover gaskets... ALL leaking! Then there are some cars experiencing dying heater cores... Leaking radiator fluid into the cabin of the car...

It is a '91 - 850i. I've owned it for nearly 5 years now! Luckily it has been good to me during this time, though I do have a laundry list of things that need fixing. Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk

One side of the shelving is done! I now need to finish the opposing wall this coming week:

It's coming along! Slowed down a bit unfortunately as we've been painting the basement floor, but should be done one side tomorrow! Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk

They did enclose the gas on the wall not shared with the interior with that bump-out. Our blue & black bins luckily still fit alongside there - so that is where they live. I have yet to do anything with the ceiling as of yet. It is the only surface not coated in the garage I think!?! I may...

Various Zellers locations across Canada are closing out & selling retail display fixtures as well. Mostly shelving, lots of pegboard, & a bit of slatwall as well. Might be a good deal or two for someone's garage! Not sure of pricing - though would be best to visit your local store(s) &...

This week's addition will be to put up some overhead shelving lengthwise across the sides of the garage walls. I bought some 2x2's and have been busy priming & painting them with the wife. Also bought some white 16" x 72" melamine shelving @ Home Depot too. I'm looking forward to getting a few...

For sure... VERY small world, as I'm 5 minutes away in Aspen! I wouldn't be surprised if we built the same damned model of home with Morrison as well now, lol! Definitely check out the unit, if you are looking for a stand-alone one. I would have certainly bought it over the one I already...

Re: Rick's Double Garage in Calgary, CAN Jumping over here from your comments on my thread. Our garage layout is very similar as you mentioned - although I do like your staircase better than mine. Due to the curved nature of mine - I have nearly killed myself a few times stepping past more...

Thanks! You can definitely see where the walls are :) just like hazard lights, or a road pylon, haha! I intend on putting up further slatwall as it goes on sale, and the shelves I am putting up will be white like the staircase & the 2x4's above the stemwall. So eventually it won't be quite as...

Yes - I am actually in Calgary as well. Most homes tend to look the same around here ;) My brother in law did a 4' extension on his (lengthwise) and that is really nice - so much extra space to work. I really wanted a sink in the garage for washing my hands after working on the car or for yard...

Yes! We could not extend the length of the garage unfortunately, since we had already extended the length of the kitchen. Our house would have been too big for the lot in adding any more sqft to the garage lengthwise. We were able to add width though, and I'm sure glad we did. Much more room...

Cabinetry Installation: I purchased some NewAge Products metal cabinets from Costco.ca as the pricing was right for metal cabinets. These are RTA (Ready to Assemble) 24 gauge metal shipped from China. Assembly was relatively straight-forward although much faster & easier with the wife...

Found some great garage art here on GarageJournal from a member (COLT ZANTOP) who makes custom license plate signs. Also made another for my brother in law for Christmas while I was at it. Check out his Etsy store @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThePlateFactory?ref=seller_info Garage Art hung...

Prime & Paint Time! With the floor out of the way, it was time to put some paint on the walls. The garage already came mudded/taped - a terrible job mind you, but just fine for the garage overall. We still took the time to sand off some of some mud to make things even where possible. Color...

Epoxy Time! No progress photos of the process, as my father-in-law, myself & my wife completed the garage all @ once. I purchased an EpoxyMaster kit from Costco.ca (no longer offered through them unfortunately). I also purchased an additional 10lbs of flakes online, to achieve a 'heavy'...

I have been frequenting this forum quite a lot since I moved into new home ~1.5yrs ago. There is so much great advice & so many great examples to work with - it has been a tremendous resource. I come from a background where my father has always kept a very neat & tidy garage, one that rarely...

Re: Need for Extra Help Without a doubt. Even doing 'heavy' coverage as you did, there is still opportunities to throw TOO much flake. It is an art & I certainly underestimated how much 'throwing' was involved... I did 11lbs for my 440sqft garage. After doing 440sqft of epoxy @ once with...

Looks great! Appears to have a nice gloss finish.
