My little 1 plus.....

[webb70]

So after the split I downsized and bought a new townhouse. It came with a 10' X 24.5' 1 Plus garage, just enough room for the bikes and tools etc. So this spring while I had some time off I started to work on my new reduced space (previous house was a 2-1/2 car garage).
Since space is at a minimum I wanted to keep as much as possible off the floor. I started by painting the entire garage white with a grey floor. I used Stonekote by Stonehard on the floors and a semi gloss white on the walls and ceiling. As I had nowhere to move the tool box, it was kinda painted around in place.
I then built the frame for my 6' X 2' bench and started putting up some Wal-mart laundry cabinets. I then put up some new lighting, six - 4' 2 bulb floresents. And also started hanging stuff on the walls.

Here are a few before, during, and after pics. I will get some current pics up soon as the doors are now on the bench etc......

That's a remarkable transformation -- very well done. I like it a lot.

Welcome to the board!!

Nice use of space. That is way too many bikes for one person. You need to share.

I guess your not the only person who thinks so, as the Ducati was stolen just as I was about to start the project.....

Thanks for the complements.

Really nice use of a tight space. Looks like you have optimized it for your use.

Inspiration for all those other town house garage junkies out there.

[theroyz71]

NIce garage and nice bikes. ***** about the Duc

 

[Stargeezer]

It pops! Nice job. Hope you get another Ducati...........

 

[webb70]

I re-did the floor as the Epoxy was starting to show some wear and tear....

So what do you think of the Walmart laundry cabinets? Any comments ... pro or con? It looks as if you did a good installation job with them. They look sharp.

 

[wawa1]

did you ever see the ducati again

 

[jktruck150]

Great transformation! Nice bikes too!

 

[MajorLeeGassole]

I was just about to comment on your garage and I see you did MORE! It looks great! I had my FZR600 stolen TWICE years ago and got it back both times. Actually looking at buying an 848 EVO for the last two days. Good luck and I hope you get yours back soon - in good shape too!

Definately a "pro" they seem to hold up very well. Most of them are quite full too. i would buy them again...

 

[webb70]

Nope, never got it back, so I moved on with a new one and then ended up buying a track one last winter.

Thanks

Get the EVO, you will love it!

***** when people steal bikes. Just go buy your own. Great looking garage with the amount of space.

 

[markito]

really liking your garage great work!

 

[markito]

byt the way I had the same 01 zx6r that appears in your pics, but got stolen 4 years ago =(

 

[marty_p]

Very well thought out and executed!!!

 

[RobSmith]

Did that yellow M&M ever get into the house ?

 

[onelochevy]

fantastic garage man. very nicely done.

 

[Jure]

well done,and clean!

 

[markito]

awesome garage!

 

[NoPressure]

I saw pictures of this in the one car thread. I have a 11.5 x 26 but it had a wall making it a 18 long stall for a car and an 8 ft "storage area. Your garage motivated me to finally take the wall out and give me a decent 1 car. Now I can park my lawnmower and my wifes TL in the garage and it should be enough room for a frame table when I start building my truck next year. Thanks!

 

[webb70]

Thanks for all the compliments...
Most of the ideas came from lurking on this site

I re-did the floor as the Epoxy was starting to show some wear and tear....

Looks like the inside of a race bike trailer. Nice job!

 

[dittle fart around]

Great garage. Gotta say, nothing is better than a big *** clock. Somehow that doesn't sound right.

 

[edkoz]

Great use of limited space ...... Nicely Done !!

 

[smsteve]

Love this garage, so clean. I too have to agree with Rich, it looks like you are looking inside of a race trailer!

If I might ask, what brand flooring is that? And what motorcycle lift is that?

Keep the rubber side down!

 

[webb70]

It's Racedeck flooring, and the 'Streetwise Table Lift" is from Princess Auto in Canada.

 

[DBALL]

Sweet garage, your coolness to sq ft factor is huge. Glad to see another Miltonian? on here.

 

[markito]

any update pics?

 

[webb70]

Its pretty much the same with the exception of a couple of new toys....
Time to clean and re-organize

 

[markito]

keeps us Updated!!!! really would like to se your new toys? maybe an bme s1000rr?

 

[smsteve]

New toys? I love new toys!

Speaking of the BMW S1000RR, I was just at the BMW dealer today speaking with the salesman about them, finding out when the 2012's are due out. I am still trying to decide if I can crunch my body onto one. Really going to have to go grab their demo bike for an afternoon to see if i can be one with it and not feel like a pretzel with no mustard...
