Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for months now and have finally decided to come out of the woodwork and show off my current meager garage.
I started two years ago with a single car garage that proved to be quite insufficient. At one time, 7 bikes were in it and I couldn't move an inch. Close to Christmas last year my wife and I bought our current single family home. The entire reason for the purchase was the garage since I had grown out of my previous one.
Here is the single:
I don't have any pictures of what my current garage looked like when we first bought it, but it was essentially just an empty garage. To clean up a lot of clutter I had, I built a shelving unit. and quickly grew out of that.
I work on and build a good amount of bikes along with vintage racing a 1982 Yamaha Seca 550. It came to me as a last resort in order to go racing this season and proved to be an awesome bike. I am now going back to the bike that I was building for last season, a 78 CB550 with all the goodies that I can throw at it. I'm looking to make about 75 WHP when I'm done.
As you can see, there's 6 bikes in the garage now, 3 in the shed, and another 3 at my dad's place. You can never have enough space!
After a long time of looking through a lot of the inspiring garages here on GJ, I have decided to clean up the garage and make it into something functional, presentable and above all else, a place I don't mind cleaning!
2 days ago I decided that a reorg was needed. My shelf I built was quite imposing so I decided to move it and reposition my black cabinet where the shelf was. Some before, during and after shots. In all of these photos, nothing was removed from the garage. Shows what a little organization can do!
It's quite cold here in Ottawa during the winter months. I have a gas heater, but the walls are not insulated. On my list of things to do so far are the following:
1. Insulate the walls
2. Insulate the attic
3. Run air lines to my work bench
4. More lights!
5. Run more plugs along my work bench ( I currently use either an extension cord or plug directly into the plug under the bench which is a PIA)
6. Install the second garage door opener
7. Install doors on the shelving unit
8. Choose a paint scheme and finish the walls
Number 7 will wait until the spring when it has warmed. The first snow came yesterday and it's ****** cold out there now!
Cheers for now!
