My first post - My garage!

[lucky_topher]

I have been waiting for a LONG time to have a garage, and just found this website to learn more, show it off, and see what cool things I can do! This is my first garage, first house, and a place to store my baby!

here's how the garage looked when i bought the house:

most of the stuff on the wall pulled down, holes patched up...

pulled down the already-falling-off pegboard and remaining things, moved stuff away from the walls...

top portion painted white... you can kinda tell the bottom 1/4 or so of the wall is an off-white... that's the color the whole garage was first.... barely noticeable in the pic, but definitely noticeable in person...

taped off the divider using a laser level... freakin amazing tool!

almost half done with the bottom portion!

all done! behind that water heater was a PITA!

tape removed, time to clean up!

all done! (for now)

***

next part is to put epoxy flooring down... grey with black/white/blue flecks in it... possibly some white shelving and/or cabinets in the future as well...

It looks sharp. Nice job.

Is the baby a Beemer? I see the poster of a BMW on the last pic so I gotta be curious.

Looks like a 350Z to me.

nope, the baby is a porsche boxster... my previous car was a bmw and those posters are left over... they're e46 m3 posters, good eye

i just put up two porsche banners in the angled area by the water heater yesterday... going to frame a few porsche posters and put them on the right where the porsche parks and either a few more on the left, or some cool nissan posters for the left where the wife parks her 07 altima...

Very nice. The difference between the before and after are like night & day.

Yay, I still know some cars!
The front grills are very significant in telling a Beemer.
Anyways, good luck with the garage! Tons of applause for your updates so far!

The first garage is a huge event. It's like being born again. Have fun with it!

The car in one of the pics above looks like the back of a Nissan Altima.

Nice work on the garage!

I wouldn't stack anything in front of that water heater, but that's just me. Nice job though.
