The Garage 2.0 is officially complete. There are a few items I have left to find a home, but the goal is to maintain a much more clean aesthetic where everything has a place. There are still some items I have to find a home for, but they shouldn't add too much more to distract from the clean...

The last week has been long. I'm in the home stretch though. The floor was resurfaced and cleaned. Primer applied, but took an extra day to be dry to the touch. During the first coat of epoxy it got really gusty and leaves were being cursed, second coat went well except for the heavy rain last...

Thanks. The house was repainted last year and although the orange looked better with the blue (house used to be red), it was times to add a mores cohesive look to the whole package. Thank you.

Fast cure epoxy primer Corotech V156. The can said 2 hours to touch dry, and 5 hours before recoat (72 hour max recoat without abrasion). I was hoping to start the first of the base coats last night, following up with the second and flake tonight. Now rain is in the forecast for tonight and...

I’m curious what ever happened with the floor. Did it eventually cure, or was a regrind needed? I applied my primer this morning and while it said 2 hours until dry to the touch, I’m still waiting on it. I started the Google search and found this thread. Now I’m getting anxious.

Just a few more to bring it all up to current date.

So far we are a couple weekends in and have seen major changes. We stripped all the concrete sealant off the side walls and reapplied a sealant in a couple coats, and then a durable paint to the floor. I get lazy and hose out the garage often, and this has led to the sealant popping off the...

So here I am, five years later and I got the itch to redo the garage. Over the years I've moved the cabinets around, and rehung things, but no major overhauls. In the last five years we redid almost the whole house... Literally. 1 bedroom, 1 Office, Family room, Living room, 4 bathrooms...

Thanks a lot. Thus far I am very pleased with the results. Funny you ask that, because I just got a quote to have the flooring done. I usually like to do things on my own, but for that project I figured Id get quotes. I'm looking at a Floortex product. It's a Polyaspartic coating. I'm...

I'm in need of some creative (small garage) ideas on how to declutter a corner. I have the welder, jack, ramps, stands, and a material pail all jammed in a corner where the door wants to be when open. I guess I need some inspiration on how I can optimize this space. Garage again by Duane...

I’m in the NW. I mostly work on the car and auto cross it all summer. There is a pretty big race community here. Beyond that I dabble in home upgrades, electronics, cosplay, and rc cars. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks. The paint is a 10 ft job, but it’s in a garage and a garage that gets worked in, so I have no challenges with it being a bit rough. Going from what it was though... night and day. Thanks again. The Scion is the practical one. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks Muchly! Thanks. Bianca has been good to me, but she is on the block to be sold right now. In Autocross she's a bit on the heavy side, and to stay in more competitive classing I can't do much to compensate for that (Currently in BSP). Currently looking for something a bit more...

I'm still looking for the best solution for my race bag. Currently to not take up any space on my benches, I have the bag sitting on a fold out table under the window. I'd like to free up that space as well. The race bag is the size of a med/large duffel bag containing all the things for a...

An immense amount of patching was needed to make the walls even remotely straight. Garage 6 by Duane Jacka, on Flickr ... and with every wall at "good enough", the paint gets laid down. Garage 7 by Duane Jacka, on Flickr Garage 7 by Duane Jacka, on Flickr Garage 7 by Duane Jacka, on...

It's an attached garage to a home built in the 80's. It's deep enough, but very narrow. I measured it at one time, but the measurements escape me now.

First thing first. Need lighting to even be able to see what I'm working on with the garage, let alone in the garage. I found some great LED lighting with 4K lumen each. I'm no lighting wizard, but I know with the lowered roof section of the garage, I wanted a low profile light. These...

Just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. I've been a member here for quite a few years, but never had a reason to contribute, or even make a post. Finally wanted to start a thread on a new to me Garage, and thought introducing myself would be a good start. Hello everyone.

I'm kind of cheating here, as I can't post picks until I have a post count of five, I'm padding my count. My post 5...uhh... posts edit; Of course some pics are always needed on a garage thread, so I'll post a few to get the ball rolling. Here she is shortly after moving in. Beat up...

I've been a long time reader and member of the GJ, but have unfortunately never had a garage project to post here. Well, I can finally say that I do. It's been tough the last 8 or so years since moving away from my last House/garage (still own it, but my dad lives in it), and started...
