My cabinet,workbench and floor project on the cheap..MORE UPDATES.
well, I finally got the new garage built and have finally got to do my cabinets,workbench and floor. I did this for what I think was a great price(minus the toolbox)
First, I found 12 steelcase office cubical cabinets on ebay locally for $85 but I only used 6 for the project. I then welded a mounting brace to the back of each. I then had paint matched to the mac toolbox and painted them(cost of $120 for the paint.) So I ended up with basically $200 in the cabinets, and as a bonus they all inclded the under cabinet lights.
For the workbench, I bought 6 sets of shelving(i cant remember the name brand, edsel or something) when they had them at sears marked down from $80 the $35(it might have been $39) per box. I used 3 of the boxes for the workbenchs and then painted one half of one set blue(which is on the top of the toolbox for my tv).
Countertops cost me $220 from lowes after 10% coupon.
The flooring I found on craigslist and I got 720 sq ft.(not enough to do my whole floor so when you enter the overhead door there is still 9ft of concrete before getting on the floor which worked out great becasue i keep the bikes and stuff there when they are dirty) of it plus about 30 boxes of the edging for $650. I did all the baseboard in the garage with the edging to match the floor. It is the trafficmaster brand that home depot used to carry.
The pneumatic motorcycle lift and pepsi machine(not shown) I got as a package deal from a friend when he closed his motorcycle shop for $400 for the pair and then had the lift powder coating to make it look new. That was done by another friend for $50.
I think it came out pretty good for the price I paid...... still more to do though!!!!
