I have been reading and lurking around since Feb of this year. This is when the garage reno started. Most of the projects that we have done, have been researched one way or the other here on GJ. We built the house in '91 and it was time for a makeover. Well its finished enough to start posting some of the things we have done along with some information that may help out anyone just starting a garage project. Thanks to all who have posted information on this journal as it has been very helpful.
The first thing we did was replaced the two 8 foot fluorescents with two T5 4 bulb fixtures from J 2 Lighting.
Next was the paint. Filled holes and repaired drywall screws that were popping and then sanded everything. Drywall repair and sanding was all done twice. We used 5 gallons of General Paint Semi Gloss. Covered up Latex eggshell.
Next was the floor. It was in rough shape. We sanded and scraped and then cleaned up everything with a pressure washer. Then we filled in all of the spalling with a product called Cement All. Next we sealed this area with a mixture of weldbond and water. Then we cleaned up and painted the entire floor using an Alkyd floor paint from General Paint.
