Spicymeatdong's Garage! Now with cabinets!!

This is the begining of the garage renovation. Taping *****!!! If it wasnt for that... the whole project would be moving along a lot faster. Got a coat of Killz on the wall and then went with cieling paint and sem gloss exterior for the walls. Had the rest of the fam over to lend a hand getting the plates on the wall.

Looking good. Keep the progress photos coming.

I t looks you are planning on having a really nice place there. I see a small fortune in Al diamond plate.

1/2 Cup · Sep 7, 2013

Nice one! love the diamond plate. :thumbup:

rday78 · Sep 7, 2013

$70/sheet. A little expensive but it def makes the garage pop!

I love the diamond plate wall covering.

dubber · Sep 9, 2013

Great team effort, your son really seems enthused haha.

rday78 · Oct 20, 2013

Havent added to thread in a bit. Got the garage floor done and got some serious work done on the work bench! Got the floor grinded... waterproofed and then put on an epoxy coating with quartz in it. Seems to be very tough so far!

rday78 · Oct 20, 2013

Here is the work bench coming together. Thanks Steevo for the blueprint.

rday78 · Oct 20, 2013

Some more pics!

I like everything your doing there. Diamond plate is cool. Shop bench looks like something i'd build. Very nice. I'm curious about the MAX-jacks? Have you used the lift yet? Any good? Whats the lifting capacity of those and lift height?

rday78 · Oct 21, 2013

Havent gotten the lift hooked up yet but it lifs 48" max and is rated for 6000lbs

rday78 · Oct 28, 2013

Boxes installed in the benches!

jbdaya · Oct 28, 2013

nice idea the diamond plate !!! nice look !!

rday78 · Oct 28, 2013

Thanks... but not my idea. This idea was stolen from Steevo's thread... He did something very similar and I just modified his plans for my use. Check it out!

Where did you get the round pads for the MaxJax??

I HATE The square ones that came with it because of how they can't turn and get bound up on the arm because of the angle that the one part of the metal raises up...

Garage is coming along! Looks great!

Thanks,
-Nigel

Round pads came with the lift... Might wanna call them up and see if they can send ya something. Here is the plate that will mount the pump and diverter to the wall. Tack welded the bolts in the holes so I have solid studs in the front. Getting paint now.

Johnny chaos · Nov 6, 2013

What type of material (the black) did you use along the top and bottom of the diamond plate? It looks awesome by the way

rday78 · Nov 6, 2013

The black border is 1/4" x 2" pine. I routed 1/8" x 1/2" out of the back so it would lock the diamond plate into place rather than just sit on top of it

Johnny chaos · Nov 6, 2013

aha.....it came out real nice

rday78 · Nov 7, 2013

Thanks... Finally got the pump and diverter mounted on the wall for the lift. Should have an operational lift this weekend!

sunsation288 · Nov 7, 2013

You fab/skill is there , nice job sir !

rday78 · Nov 7, 2013

Thanks... getting everything to line up is a lil tricky... That and drilling 1/4" steel with a hand drill is tough

akdiesel · Nov 7, 2013

rday78

Nice progress.

NewShockerGuy · Nov 7, 2013

Dang your pump looks different than mine too and others that I have seen here... I love that you have a drain plug on the reservoir...!

-Nigel

rday78 · Nov 7, 2013

Wow... it is different

rday78 · Nov 10, 2013

ok... lift is in and it appears to be working well except for a couple issues.
1. Lowering is slow.... real slow
I noticed there looks to be some adjustments on the side of the release block where the lowering handle is but havent found any info about it yet.
2. Had one side get stuck while lowering.
Gunna pull the lift apart today and make sure everything is greased well.
Other than that... Looks pretty pimp.

rday78 · Nov 15, 2013

ok... got the compressor shoehorned into the last bay of the work bench... also had the countertops routed and slotted for biscuits. should have the top cabinets in on tuesday.

info2x · Nov 15, 2013

Is the one line running up into the attic?

rday78 · Nov 15, 2013

No... I wish but there was too much wood bracing in the wall

rday78 · Dec 2, 2013

Ok.... a little update. Got the wood to mitered and mounted. Cabinets and led lighting is in. Even got a quad outlet in the center cabinet for phone, laptop ect. Just gotta get the back splash in.

Woodman11 · Jan 29, 2014

Very, Very nice!!!!

dubber · Jan 29, 2014

Looks great!

rday78 · Jan 29, 2014

bonecrrusher · Dec 17, 2014

I need to lookup those round pads for the MaxJax as well.

We have very similiar taste in tools - love the lights below the Gladiator cabinents!

rday78 · Dec 17, 2014

The round pads came with the lift. Lights came from superbrightleds.com Been happy with them.

dubber · Dec 17, 2014
