My gf's dad got kicked out of his shop (management didn't want automotive in their complex anymore) which is actually very ******.

On the upside I got some of the stuff he didn't want to haul home or store.

I got the bench and shelving unit from him which cleaned up my garage big time. I got a few other odds and ends from helping him move out, but the bench and shelves are what made my day.

Just my tiny apartment garage. Nothing special, but I'm pretty lucky to even have a garage in this area.

Nice score. Now you need to get some paint on the walls to finish the space up.How do you like your toolbox. Is it a Costco or SAMS?

Well, since it's my apartment's garage I won't be painting their walls. :)

I like my tool box very much. It's a Craftsman 304 Stainless series. They go from discontinued to available constantly...I dunno what the deal is.

Check with the complex management. They may be up to providing the materials. If it is a large place with a permanent maintenance staff they will most likely have basic white latex on hand. Won't take long to paint and it will really dress the place up.:thumbup:
