Brian's ///Modest garage

[Brianphi]

So glad to have found this forum, it's helped give me a lot of ideas! We moved into the home 3 years ago and went through renovation of most everything along with a 620 sq ft addition for my inlaws. It wasn't until the last few months I was able to get the garage in shape.

It is a 20x28 ft space (with another 3 ft in length on the left side where a work bench and the door to the house are... with 2 single garage doors but enough space for 3 cars, so I use dollies to store one through winter.

So far I've mostly just painted, got some cabinets and flooring...

list of to-do's still:
install projector I already have and speakers do my daughter can watch movies while I work/detail cars etc
maybe change the old T12's out to LED can lights? Still researching how many of the 1200 lumen LED's I'd need.
paint the refrigerator black or grey

Wheel dollies to store the M3 over winter and still fit the other cars in

added some cabinets and painted the walls

Found some BMW dealership posters from yesteryear

Heavy bag hung on a barn door rail with pins to hold it in place or against the wall when not being used

Putting in the racedeck

Car stuff readily available, wife's useless junk nowhere to be seen.

Added storage racks above the garage doors

MyQ app for chamberlain garage doors, I really like not having a door opener in the car that sits outside so there's less change of theft. Also curious if I can use IFTT to sync some smart LED lights with the garage door going up... i.e. when I open the right garage door maybe automatically have the LED lights turn on, to a color, with a timer to go back off after 30 seconds...

Great job setting up the garage. Nice ///M too. Sick playhouse for the kid.

Awesome tree house, that's some true craftsmanship!

What wheel dollies are your utilizing for the M3, and how well do they move across the RD flooring with that kind of load resistance? I store my third vehicle the same way, except right now I just parallel park it into place. It would be nice to be able to move it around if needed during storage months.

Great looking garage, the RD flooring really made come together!

I knew there was a BMW involved when I saw the title. I have a few of them myself.

You have a nice wide 2 car garage (3 really!)..lol I like it a lot! Looks great! Wish I had that extra width in ours!

That tree house is freaking awesome! Wow, more pics of that please!

I noticed that your middle light for the exterior of the garage is smaller than the left and right... did you plan that or it was like that? I only ask because that would drive me nuts that all three lights weren't the same size...lol

Newshockerguy the lights are identical, just the angle of the camera lense i think
