Workbench space: Again, I have to live with what I designed. The corner workbench is used heavily, and when necessary I spill over onto the bar counters trying to not make a mess of them. Not sure if I will have the space if I need to do some of the rebuild stuff I am thinking about...

Long term usage update: Signage/bar: I've made some small changes but nothing major, mostly signage/etc. Bar is fully stocked and has become well used especially since COVID. Due to health issues and COVID we find ourselves stuck at home most of the time, and the setup has been a great place...

Its been a while but from what I recall it was purely the height of the door. I found another house with a very unusual attached garage with what looks like a 10' high door. The house has been there a while so my guess is the rules were changed at some point.

First time using the 2 post, lifted my fox mustang for a look underneath. Fixed a nagging muffler bracket issue, found a coolant leak, then I found an oil leak!

Thanks!

Lastly - I got my lifts! I went with a 4 post Bendpak HD-9 along with a 2 post Bendpak XPR-10S. I have the Mustangs stacked on the 4 post, and I cant wait to start wrenching on cars under my 2 post. I purposely offset the lifts to the far side of the garage to allow for more room to work in...

I also added a desk area along with Newage cabinets. I went with the Pro 3.0 10 piece set in gray, and I also bought a corner cabinet to help it span the corner of my work area.

I wanted to continue the hockey theme so I utilized old hockey sticks to trim it out. I also hung some of my old hockey jerseys from the ceiling. For the backsplash I used license plates, some old some newer.

Its been a while but I'm back with an update. We decided to go with a kitchen/bar area in the corner. The base cabinets and wall cabinets are standard Ikea box frames with Ikea dark Ash full overlay doors and trim. The elevated bar portion is simply a 2x4 frame covered on the front with...

These pics show the rest of the garage with the cars and wall stuff. Phase II (coming soon) will include a lift and Newage cabinetry.

Phase I of my build is now complete. Pretty much built out as I wanted with a few exceptions as with any project. These few pictures are of my "lounge" area with couch and hanging TVs along with a desk, pinball and centipede.

Lighting plan: I don’t know about the rest of you but even after reading tons of posts I was still completely confused regarding what I should do. To partially compensate for this I had my electrician wire way too many outlets in the ceiling, just in case :-) As per the earlier diagrams my...

Bathroom: I originally designed in a 3' wide bathroom under the stairs. I found some long/narrow bathroom designs on the internet and thought it would work, especially as this will not be a main bathroom. Luckily for me, my builder screwed up and actually made it bigger because I needed the...

Thanks for the kind words! Thanks Chateau! Thanks! I will keep posting. I will put together a post on the HDMI over Ethernet stuff as I learned a lot about it.

Thanks Drive! The heat is all hooked up and I have been enjoying it!

Here are some pics of the finished product. Some of the pictures came out quite dark - its not that dark in person. I am very happy with it!

Garage Flooring: I went back and forth between tiles and a floor coating. At one point I was 100% sure about going with RaceDeck. In the end I was more concerned about the uneven nature of my floor with tiles so I ended up going with polyaspartic type floor coating. The look is similar to...

I wanted to make sure that I had a nice level line for the stripe. I've been wanting one for a while so I went out and got myself a Bosch laser level and mounted it to a tripod. I used some good quality painters tape and followed the laser to form the top and bottom borders for the middle...

Painting the first floor: I saw a lot of nice garages with a 3 tone look, one top, one bottom and a stripe in the middle. I also didnt want to go with a stark white due to durability. I went to the paint store and did some color matching and came back with this: We liked it so we went with it.
