Man that looks great, dubber! You've got me really drooling now at the thought of finally getting SwissTrax for my setup. Order will be placed 1/31, aka, bonus day! :)

Props to all the progress you've made in a relatively short amount of time.

That pulls it together nicely, one would never realize how blah the osb looked, now combined with cabinets and race deck it looks like where a great day could be spent and soon with heat!!

Another major milestone has been reached, and arguably the most exciting.

Spent Sunday installing my new RaceDeck FreeFlow design with the help of a good friend. New design allowed me to amalgamate my tile inventory from dubber's double and expand with the new selection. Final detail cuts were finished last night. Ordered these tiles on Black Friday prior to actually living here so its been quite the wait for me :bounce:

Sunday Morning:



Sunday Afternoon:


Glamour shot:






Now onto trying to finish all other storage solutions to rid the space of the mess!

I love that you made designated spots, haha. This is something I need to keep in mind if I go that route, that looks great!

It does look really great!

I know that you have put a race deck in your previous garages. What about the race deck is it that you love? Not being critical, I actually want to know what you like about it because I have no experience with it.

“Glamour shot”. :bowdown:

Glad it wasn’t a “money shot”.
That place looks great! Amazing transformation. When I first saw OSB, I was like “bummer” but really looks great.
Keep rollin.

Thanks! Yea i'm quite satisfied with how the OSB has turned out with several applications of a special primer and paint.

Yea crazy that its only really been a month of working on it. Looking forward to seeing your space. Although its already nice, you will witness how it can transform it.

NOW it looks like your garage!

Hahaha, well said. :thumbup:

Significant progress for sure. And still lots to come! Thanks for following along.

Yea this was my first time using that type of design and thus far i like it. Also needed to account for the existing tiles i had while incorporating a fresh look.

Looking awesome Dubber!!

To be honest, the "look" transforms the space more than anything else. The "style" is very complimentary to snow melting through and wicking water for interior car detailing. The "function" allows the space to become more in the house compared to an outside nice garage.

Oh, wow! Very nice. So much progress in little time.

Being super motivated has certainly fast tracked my timeline. :thumbup:


Love it! The race deck design works really well.

:bowdown: It was fun as my wife was a large contributor to the design, fun using their online design tool.

floor looks fantastic

Many thanks!

Very nice, looks great! Wish I could do something like that but we live on a dirt road with a long dirt driveway so my garage without constant attention becomes a dirt pit. It appears all these modular flooring products have too much "texture" and would make my dirt issue worse and harder to clean. Especially when I rains and the trucks come in literally dripping mud.

Are they textured or are they smooth and broom and washable?

Whoah, great work, super happy that you've been able to upgrade to a TRIPLE!

Thank you. Very thankful wifey was on board with the move. Had to find a nice house to match :)

Wow, putting in WORK!!!

Non-stop, well between non-working hours that is.

Yea for your application it likely wouldn't be the best product. They are textured. Surface can be easily moped and vacuumed.

What a transformation.

Looks awesome.:thumbup:

Cheers! :thumbup:

Man, the transformation of that place in such a quick timeline is great. Even if I didn't have kids, I procrastinate so much, I still couldn't get that much done that quick.
Great job.
I'm going to steal that color for the walls in the cubby in my garage. Whenever I finally get around to putting the drywall up...
LOVE the black around the bottom of the walls also. Nice.

Keep up the great work man. Soon enough, you'll be sitting there, drinking a beverage in awe at your finished work.

Holy **** you work fast. If I get an hour or 2 in the garage without the wife nagging I'm lucky.

Hahaha. Thankfully my wife is on board with both my obsession and the actual fact that i need to put in hours to actually transform the space the way i want it.

Thanks man. Definitely use the colour. I obviously really like it. Thankfully I had my other thread to reference the actual name to be able to reorder. The black touch is one of my favorites. Dual purpose of helping to seal the area (in addition to the floor sealant also applied) and cleans up the space while also allowing a visual continuation of the flooring.

One of the items I had been the most excited about was finally setting up my New Age bold cabinets. I have to say I was happy with the quality of these. I ended up scoring these for a great price from my local Costco which is always a bonus when shipping gets included. Bang for buck I would have been hard pressed to find a competitor, and I tried, priced out buying individual new Husky pieces from Home Depot and the numbers didn't make sense. I was a little hesitant initially after selling all my old Husky pieces, but once I had time working with these my hesitation faded. These provide several options for install which I enjoyed. I opted to not mount the bamboo top, and only mount the uppers to each other and the two exterior locker cabinets. The fact that I’m only using the three uppers for microfibres sealed the deal.

Took the longest to just ensure they were level and mounting them to each other is a challenge with one person. Doable but a challenge.



Getting this little guy in the perfect spot took way longer than i could have guessed.

Very nice looking. I have been considering those as well.

Recommend them for sure. Interesting as Costco definitely is able to leverage their buying power and pass on those savings. You can source this package at a number of retailers but the prices are all higher. Also benefited from their price honoring as a couple days after purchase they dropped $300 on a cyber monday sale.

Great work, you should start a garage rehab business!

My wife and a few others have also made that comment.... Would love to explore the possibility. I have been enjoying being a consultant on a variety of projects belonging to friends and family.

Finally decided this would be the spot for the compressor and mounted the reel above after reinforcing with an extra piece of wood. I'll be adding a 20 amp plug there to power the unit.

Tackling more and more.....

Found a home and mounted my brush hanging solution. The area to the left is also coming together well. This one has really morphed since my original plan, but i'm liking the natural progression. Very functional and in my opinion still looks great.

I like the brush hanging rack. Are those from Ikea? I hate waiting on all of my stuff to dry before tossing it in a bucket. When did you do the floor?

Yes sir, sourced from Ikea. Easy, cheap, and clean solution to handle both storage and drying. Kudos go to Rick for inspiration as he uses the hooks on a straight bar. I like this rack as it does create a little buffer between the brush and wall.

Installed the RaceDeck FreeFlow tiles about a week and a half ago. Pics are a page back if you want to check that out. :beer:

That's freakin sweet, dude. I am trying to avoid that level of detail and just get insulated and organized but it's tempting to have it look so nice. I did not think about the fact that the RaceDeck flooring can come with you to the next house whereas painting/coating the floor is permanent.

To be honest its one of the top reasons i have continued to use their product. Beyond the look, function and cool factor hahaha. Being able to take the flooring from my last garage likely saved me near $2,000

I am surprised the buyer of garage 2.0 did not request that you leave the flooring. Or was that stated right in the listing?

The amazing by-product of the current real estate market here right now. The seller has all the leverage. When I sold "dubber's single" we only had one solid offer and he really wanted the garage as is, which meant we left it as such. As for "dubber's double", we had a sense of the possibility of multiple offers (ended up being seven) and as such we listed flooring and all cabinetry as exclusions.

Installed and organized a couple of my Husky Track wall panel sections. Current plan is to have five around the perimeter but like anything the plan is always evolving. Current organization layout also shown.

Just saw your link to cleanwagen.com and took a trip there.

Very nicely done.

Who knew that Ottawa has Palm Trees? ;-)
