My first garage

[Austin G]

I've been lurking on this forum for over a year, finally coming around to creating a post. I bought a townhouse with garage last year and been sifting through threads of garages for ideas since then. Lots of very nice setups on here.

It's been a work in progress over the past year and finally come to point of being somewhat photo worthy. No before pictures - the first thing I did after closing was to paint the garage and epoxy the floor. There's a workshop/laundry room in the back that's been good for painting and doing wood projects.

Thanks for looking!

Very clean. Nice job

I like it! Everything is "right sized" for a one car garage....including the miata

Smart move painting and epoxying prior to moving in....great job!

Austin welcome down from the bleachers . Looks like you have done a nice clean job with a smal space there .

Looks like a good use of space... i think were like goldfish the bigger the garage the more stuff you find to fill it. I like the colors.

Looking good, what's the story with the fs bike?

Very Nice! I really like the tool box!

Looks like a clean space to work in. I like the minimalist scheme you have going. I sometimes wish I had fewer things to fill my garage. Great job!

Hello, very nice Garage!

A little question.
How big is it inside?

Thanks for all the kind replies. Probably would have just been an unfinished, bare concrete floor garage if not for all the great threads on this board.

I have a lot of tools that still need homes - mig welder, sheet metal brake, drill press, chop saw, table saw. For now it's nice having a little extra 'elbow' room when working on the cars, especially in such a tight space to begin with.

For those interested in the bike - it's a '11 Gary Fisher/Trek hifi dlx 29er. It's one of three in the current stable. In the back I also have an 09 cannondale 1fg singlespeed 29er and a motobecane singlespeed 'touring' bike. I haven't yet come up with a good way to store 3 bikes without being in the way too much.

I will get an interior measurement later, but my guess is 10'x20'.

Cool garage!! I like the way you painted the walls. And you have a great toolbox. Did you see what they did to the Miata on the TV show GEARZ last week? They really tricked it out. Good luck.

 

[studlyrs]

I was guessing it was a 29er. Nice rides. You might have to use some vertical space to organize them.

My more expensive bikes live inside year-round. The cold/thaw swings(in winter) are hell on your components and seals. The junker hardtails and others do ok in the garage. I couldn't see any good way to fit your bikes in there ether
