truly impressive project with a beautiful result! Must be very rewarding!

looking good!

100% done now! I added some final touches, put in my drill press and band saw, cleared out the old 12x20 structure enough to fit my tiny car and a motorcycle in, and then it was time to take the "glamour shots" lol Arranging and re-arranging all the tools, shelves, carts, etc. was such a...

I ran out of labels for the label maker :)

No, I didn't see that until now! Awesome!

Thanks everyone! I got the workbench all organized finally: After a year of doing projects on the floor in a cramped 12x20 garage with a pile of tools scattered here and there, and a pile of tools inside the house (******* off my wife). Worked my *** off to get to this point. Started...

I will not have a "beer fridge" in the shop. Here's one reason why: The lithium battery charger automatically shuts off when the batteries reach the right voltage. Otherwise they could explode!

Wow, thank you so much everyone! Last night we had a holiday party that was also like an open house for the workshop. All the guys that helped me build it got together and I handed out some tools as thank-you gifts. Then we broke in the new patio. Onto the garage now... This is...

Wednesday was the big day! FINAL INSPECTION! I passed it, of course :D As a reward, and also a birthday gift, I went to Harbor Freight to get a toolbox. Long story short, Home Depot had better prices and had what I wanted in stock. I then installed the wall panels, a power tool organizer I...

I think the floor is getting a little better Used Rustoleam Rocksolid Wet-Look Concrete Sealer -...

I used a water-based sealer on the floor It does not look great. I don't think I let the concrete dry out enough before applying it. Is there any hope that it will even out?

Thank you very much guys! Finished painting the ceiling Used some cheap vinyl coating mdf molding because the corner seems were so ugly FINALLY TIME TO BUILD THE WORKBENCH!!! With the bench built I could move all the stuff on the bookshelf onto the bench and then move the bookshelf...

I finishing the trim around the windows and doors. I'm going to try to get everything done by my birthday, the 15th! Good idea! I did something similar for the LP lap siding on the gable end, and for the 4x8 sheets, I pounded stakes into the ground so the tops where the level with the top...

I finished hanging all the drywall on the ceiling last night. Hung it all by myself! I was able to hang it on the ceiling without any help by first screwing a 2x4 to the wall, 3/4" lower than the trusses, and then then I could use that to the support one end of the drywall while I secured the...

Just bought some water-based sealer yesterday, and a cheap pump sprayer (Miracle Grow brand). Or should I have gone for the $50 model?

Thank you for the wise words! I think I'm pretty fortunate to have a wife that is fairly understanding, but everybody has their limits. Oh, I found some pics of my PREVIOUS garage. Only 209 sqft yet somehow I managed to fit a (very small) car, a motorcycle, a workbench, welding cart, air...
