Why is it when I start introductions I feel like it is a 12 step meeting? Hi, my name is Scott, I need help with my garage....
In all seriousness, I'm from Illinois, well south of Chicago. My garage is an attached 24 x 25. My plans are to slowly redo it as time and money allow for better storage, modular working area/shop, garage gym, man cave and can still park a car in it. I tend to be very optimistic with great plans on paper.
First project is a set of shelves in one of the corners next to the overhead door. I designed it to fit 17 gallon HDX totes from Home Depot. We have a lot of totes from the years, but I need totes the same size instead of trying to make them fit. Apparently I'm a little on the OCD side too.
All of the wood cut and I started to assemble the sides with pocket holes. Final product will be painted the 1960's/1970's MOPAR Go Green. The rest of the projects from additional shelving, conduit, anything else that stands still long enough, will be painted in the MOPAR colors from that time frame. I don't have a car from then and currently no plans for one. But I do love the looks and colors.
I will need to do something with the floor as well. It is sealed concrete and it is very slick when wet. I'm leaning towards a floor tile of some sort that way I don't have to take off the current sealer to put down a floor coating.
From what I have read, this looks to be a great forum with a lot of knowledge. I'm looking forward to it.
