Another Garage Build thread

Curious about the floor choice?

Floor is finished and I am finally moved in

 

[PE 316]

Looks GREAT Dan.

(Now lets see some photos of the Brad-5 in there)

 

[dubber]

woweee, great results!

 

[CoconutPete]

Wow!

 

[KULIWOBBY]

Very nice looking set up there. I really dig the floor!

 

[nmcqueen469]

Looks AWESOME!

How slick is that floor when it's wet?

I have had epoxy floors in the past and I don't have kids and walk normal without running and they were never a problem but 99.9% were never "wet" since being inside...I did mop them but stayed off until dry.
Due to the slight texture of the VCT I think it might be more slip resistant than epoxy...but why walk on a wet floor?

It's not that anyone would intentionally walk on a wet floor, I was more referring to an invisible spill that would blend in on a lightly colored floor.

Adding silica into the top clear coat is a measure I've heard about to fight against this. It still remains smooth, but adds just enough grip.

Yes on the cabinets under the bench and no I didn't make it to my favorite race

 

[Boosted1]

Nice looking garage.
Wow! 5.23", really!?

My Favorite....

I painted a skin for one of my Nascar PC games way back based off that one with the stars. Sweet looking boats and I absolutely love your floor! Garage looks great as a whole!

Any garage I've had has always been white. The more I see multicolors the more I think I'm going to do that as well. Looks great!

 

[Ch3No2]

Well we finally got the old slab broken up, hauled away and repoured

 

[Arps]

Looks great!

That looks like Ted Faggert in the right lane in Superstar? I know Ted and actually use to work for him when I was younger. My dad and I have had boats over the years and have been to many races. We were building a drag boat at one time but where to busy with other hobbies. We still have the Top Fuel Flat, "Panic Mouse 007".

 

[Ch3No2]

DONE!!!!!!!!
I would like to thank all the members that contributed the many ideas that I have absorbed while spending hours on GJ
This place ROCKS!

 

[jimmie jam]

Ch, thank you for sharing this build with all of us. You have a beautiful result and must be thrilled to say the least . Enjoy the "fruits" of your labor and money!

p.s. Anyone who completes a "build" is OBLIGATED to continue updates with the "furnishing" process, just an FYI in case you didn't read the "rules".

 

[Crackerballer]

Looks great. I would have done something in the middle of the grass patch. Gazebo? Fountain?

I thought about it but chose to mount a golf ball washer instead....

Just shy of 2.5 years on the build. Beautiful design. That is just not enough grass for me. I love mowing. Probably the only thing stopping me from building the 30x30 garage I want.

Thanks for the compliment on the design and yes it took all of 2 1/2 years...hard to expedite a build when you have a 6 day a week job, do everything on your own and build out of pocket.
I like mowing too...my front yard...and for the back I would rather have a 1300 sq ft garage and 700 sq ft of grass for the dogs to....instead of a 700 sq ft garage and 1300 sq ft of grass...

Magnificant place inside and out, magnificant view you are one lucky fella !

Just stumbled across this garage build. I know it is an older thread but I just had to say what a great job you did and how nice it turned out. Great job.

Mike.

 

[Ch3No2]

Thanks Mike,
I have paid attention to some of your work as well...off the chart to say the least!
Whenever you finish a project I always look back and ask "what could I have done different?"...have to say I am satisfied.
Thanks again

Keep the pictures coming of your work, I LOVE it.

Ditto. Was directed here from the "recessed lighting" thread.
What a beautiful workplace. I hope to get mine to this level of finish one day.


P.S. that is a big retaining wall. The engineer did not overkill the rebar
I would of used even more, LOL.
