Sorry to be digging up an old thread...I somehow missed your question. But this is a good time for a 1+ year update. The grinding and epoxy did cure my dusty floor. :thumbup: Ended up using my Milwaukee 7" grinder with a griding wheel (no diamond cup or anything) to knock off all the loose/weak...

Good news- momma got a nice new (to her) Toyota Venza for graduating law school and starting her new job. Bad news- It's a lot longer and wider than her little Toyota Yaris was. My old corner benches were just to wide to comfortably park the Venza in the garage. The shelving used as the base...

HotDoggin - By "hit my head" do you mean that the bikes will come crashing down or that they will hang too low for you to pass underneath? I have an unfinished ceiling so I went with the Harbor Freight rope/pulley bike system. Can't beat it for $8 apiece and it pulls up nice and tight to the...

Havent done much to the garage lately, but I've been working in it. Just finished making some ******** boards for a friend, but that's not too exciting or interesting. However, I do have an addition to my woodpile that is pretty exciting...at least to me. We are having some termite damage...

I agree, thats a lot of space for a condo :thumbup: I like the bumpout work area. I just saw your intro thread...did you move from Wadmalaw? We're on Johns Island..I think I might have talked to you on the 67-72chevy site before. (jcramsey over there) Good deal on getting to a better school...

Very nice! Looks like you've got ample space for parking all the cars and working which is really nice. I've got room for parking and working......as long as I'm not trying to do them at the same time! :lol: Looks like you are familiar with Subarus.... I've been itching for Forester as a DD...

Looking good man! Cool score with the anvil...I like that.

Thanks jktruck150! Still inching along. I cut a couple of pieces of tin to make end panels for the corner bench. Still working on ideas for some kind of doors for the front.

Excellent execution! Love the stained concrete and the tin on the walls. Night and day difference from where you started. :thumbup:

Thanks Mr. 360. I think the tops should last me a pretty good while as I dont do too much heavy fab work in my garage. And you're right...I could probably replace it for next to nothing when the time comes. Had a neighbor come ask if I wanted some treated 4x4 posts the other day and I actually...

Came up with a little frame to cover the base of my newest bench. Nothing fancy or expertly crafted, but I think it helps clean up the look a little bit. The free lumber pile is slowing getting smaller and smaller!

I've been working for the .gov for six years now, and from time to time I think "There's got to be something better out there, something that I would LOVE to do". Then I snap out of it and remind myself along the lines of what HAY YOU said above... I got a good job, working from home, great...

Used up some more of my free lumber this weekend to make an L-shaped top for my shelves-turned-workbench. Think I'll work on framing up around the shelves to make it enclosed with a couple doors on each for access.

Great job so far! The workshop area turned out really nice and the epoxy helps out a ton. Can't wait to see where you take this. If you've got the dryer 220v hookup out in there, I'd say most folks would be jealous of your set up. I know I am...I still have to weld in the driveway off an...

Well done! The artwork turned out great.

We bought our first house 3 years ago when I was 29 so hopefully that makes me eligible for this thread. Most people think I'm 21 or so anyway :lol: Heres my humble 20x20 when we first moved in. After EpoxyCoat and a few storage additions. And the most recent iteration of my workbench.

Looks like a nice bench to me. Prob won't take heavy abuse, but I'm sure it would work well for most folks. Here are some more opnions on this particular one from the GJ http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125381

You've obviously got skills and a serious work ethic.... you'll definitely land on your feet, and be successful whatever you're doing. Glad you stopped now before it all caught up with you though. Enjoy this new time with your family and friends!

Sounds like its gonna be a nice space. Can't wait to see it come along!

Nice place! Will be cool to see what you do with it.
