23 x 21 New Construction

[kyle@hcb]

I just moved to my new home a few days ago. The dimensions are approximately 23 x 21, with 10.5" ceilings at the highest points. Going with a 2 post lift in the near future. I'm wanting to finish the lighting and paint first (painter is booked for the next 2 weeks). I sadly sold my Lotus Elise prior to the move and regret it. Looking at a few SRT10 Vipers in the coming weeks though

Still trying to decide on whether I want to go with metal pegboards (like I have in my previous houses) or rolling storage. Flooring will be RaceDeck (colors/pattern still undecided). Thanks for looking! Comments/input welcomed!

Whatever you do, paint it now, before it’s full of stuff.

Oh for sure! I'm going to pull the TV back down before the painter gets started. Nothing else is going up (besides the overhead lights) until paint is finished.

 

[kyle@hcb]

New LED lights. Such a big difference!

Picked up the Viper! Scary drive home in the rain though

Are you planning on doing any floor treatments, tiles, etc?

Nice looking space. Looking for your Racedeck flooring installation pictures, i'm going to replace flooring during next summer.

I'm 99% sure I'll be going with RaceDeck again. I used them in my last garage and was really happy with the look/quality!

Nice! The viper will be right at home in there, good stuff!

Do you work at Red Hat? I have a family member who works there.

I was looking at using a tile but wanted it to be watertight due to snow melting or water rolling off. was it a problem at all having water and dirt building up under the tiles, or did that not happen at all?

I'm not able to comment; after installing RaceDeck in my last garage, none of the cars saw rain/snow.

Cool! Though I guess I should ask if you work for IBM now haha.

Moved everything out of the garage. The painters are coming later today to get started on the finishing mud. They're hoping to have everything wrapped up in the next 3 days

will be following. I have a similar space. I want a lift too, but space is tight.

How tall are your ceilings? This is most likely what I'll be going with:

Ceilings in mine are just shy of 11.5 ft, but i have taller vehicles (older SUVs). I have had my eye on the same lift.

 

[kyle@hcb]

Sanded and ready for paint tomorrow

 

[kyle@hcb]

Painters did a great job! (paint still drying in the pic). Can't wait to move everything back in lol

 

[testwerke]

Looks great! Still looks bright in there despite being a shade of gray!

Thanks! Yeah. Really impressed with the LED overhead lights. Lift shopping begins tonight!

 

[kyle@hcb]

Time to start organizing. The clutter is killing me

Ceiling mounted extension cord/reel

 

[kyle@hcb]

New tool storage! Super happy with the quality

You have all the essentials right there on that wall! No you just need a viper logo next to the lotus one.

No new garage updates, but finally got around to installing the new coilovers on the Viper

 

[Jarch]

looks good, i like the height! garage looks nice and clean still.

 

[kyle@hcb]

Slow progress. 240v/30a circuit for the lift (junction box will house a cutoff switch when I install the lift) and a 120v/15a circuit for the jackshaft opener. The opener and a torsion spring conversion should arrive next week!

Old extension springs (and ancillary components)

Torsion spring/bar/plates (spring is not wound in the pic)

 

[kyle@hcb]

Installed the Liftmaster 8500 today. Also switched to a smalller spring (the other spring was a bit too strong for the door (which only weighs 99 lbs)):

The factory hood is now garage art

 

[Jarch]

OOOoo pretty Carbon. plus the updated hood vents is a nice plus

Thanks! Couldn't find a factory Gen 4 hood, so this was the next best thing. 12 lbs lighter than the factory hood too!
