Good work. It looks great!!
My Garage Project
- Thread starter aps63
- Start date
Thanks Dale.
Started the grey and the stripes today.
Looked at my original sample that I painted and realized, I really didn't like the size of the stripes. Too big. Made the first one smaller and I like it much better.
I didn't think taping the stripes off would take so long.
I got the grey and the red stripe done today. Will get the rest of it done tomorrow.

Might sound lame, but I think it looks pretty kick *** just the way it is. 
I was thinking of adding a few stripes too, but I'll have to paint them on a sheet of cardboard and see if it grows on me (like you did).
Great work btw.

Thanks Kyle. Definitley use the board to paint the stripes before you do your wall.
I actually liked the board at first but the next day they looked way to big.
Here is the final rendition of the stripes, I really like them.
Also found stainless steel outlet covers at HD.

Was thinking... If those aren't GFCI receptacles and it's cost effective, I was wondering what grey receptacles would look like instead of the white ones you have with those s/s covers. Right now the white receptacles really stand out, figured if they blended with the s/s covers more they might flow better? I know they match the wall color, but I usually try and make the outlets dissappear more so they're less distracting. Might make the striping flow better too. Just a thought. Or you could've continued the stripe/paint color right over white faceplates too, that's what I would've done, can't recall if I've ever seen a garage here that did that.
Thanks DaMan, dubber, & 55cadillacking.
I'm really loving the way it's turning out.
Rockuf8 - I actually wanted the outlets to stand out. I want to see them. Most of the outlets will have workbenchs or machines in front of them. I also placed the stripe to be right where the outlets are. This may sound strange but they are part of the overall theme of the garage. Once everything is in, it will make more sense.

Great job.. I really like the look too. I also like how many outlets you added. 
I need to put more outlets in my garage as well.

Great teaser.
Floor is finished. Goes together like a snap, no pun intended.
Very comfortable to walk on even in bare feet.
I want to put base molding everywhere but not sure if I can fit the workbench flush to the wall. So I will put that together today and see if I can fit the molding behind it and to the side.
Here a few more shots.

Nice work Paul. What are you going to use for base molding?

what about using that rubber commercial moulding that is glued on? It should handle "moist" spots well.
dubber

My thoughts exactly.

You can get nice baseboard molding in cellular PVC which would handle dampness just fine, don't have to settle for the thin commercial rubber stuff, unless you're going for that look.
PVC!!! Commercial Rubber Stuff!!!
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND MAN!!!
It may be only a garage but I still have my pride.
Base molding will be something similar to this.
Started the 2 workbenches today. 1 six foot and 1 eight foot with 2 banks of 5 drawers each. 20 drawers altogether. Should be awesome.

What?
The PVC looks JUST LIKE white painted wood(and that BB moulding in your pic, unless you plain on staining it which isn't the case, give the white plastic stuff a look, you can't tell the difference.Rockuf8

No that's the stuff dubber and mike81 recommended lol
Just kidding guy's. I thought about using the glue on stuff but realized I didn't have anything to glue it onto. I did not want to run the sheetrock anywhere near the floor so any moisture coming from the floor would not be in contact with it. I don't get any moisture coming up that I can see. But I have read a lot of horror stories of the moisture weeping up into the wood and sheetrock. So I took Rockuf8's advice and used the PVC boards. I never really thought about using that before. I guess I never had to.
Stuff has wood grain and will never collect moisture.
Put the 8' workbench in it's place so I can start assembling the drawers and attach the top. It barely fits, but it does fit. If there where not V grooves in the sides it would make it. I wanted to build a sink cabinet to cover all that up. Not much room to work with. I will have to rethink it.
I just want to take a few seconds and thank everybody who has commented and offered help, advice, and encouragment during this whole process. I still have a lot to do but just wanted to stop and say thanks to all of you. This really is a GREAT forum.
