VERY nicely done. Since most of my time is spent with wood projects, that degree of cleanliness is simply a dream.

Well.. the space is relatively small , but it continues to provide a lot of opportunity for the things I like to do .

And thanks for the comments .
This site has been a real source of ideas for me and if I can in some small way provide a little inspiration for others ... I'm flattered ...!

My wife has told me many times that I kept the neatest garage she had ever seen, until I showed her yours! Now I have another item on my "Honey do" list! Thanks Pal! :lol_hitti

J/K. That is very nice! :bowdown:

If I could only get my wife's **** out of my garage then mine would look this good .

Maybe?
Possibly?
Might ?
Slight chance ?

No chance probably.

Still one of the nicest and by the number of views it's had ,one of he most popular .

And it's not my wife's junk I have to get out of the garage , it's from 2 sons that are both twenty something , have no reason to leave home and continue to pile up their "valuables" in my future show place !

I thought that I was going to do a small up grade on my garage until I saw THIS !

Now I am re-thinking the whole program .

89Vert really raised the bar .

I've copied so many of details in here it's really pathetic!
I completely plagiarized the cabinet for the compressor and space for my kid's bike.I also used the stainless sheets for my bench top . It was about a quarter of the cost of having on fabricated and it looks great .

My space is also fairly small and 89Vert's really showed many of us how to maximize our square footage .

89Vert,
Wonderful job on your garage; truly impressive. I notice the gas pump is of a later variety which (I think?) should be more available for cheaper than the early pumps which are so popular? I actually have thought of making a faux gas pump out of wood framing using sheet metal from Home Depot, black hose and I'd have to find a nozzle somwhere. Maybe more hassle than its worth, but I have thought of doing it.

Two questions:

Where did you find that pump?

Did you sand between your three coats of floor epoxy or did you just recoat within a certain period of time? What does Rustoleum recommend?

I have a truly old beat up, stained and cracked floor that may not be worth trying to paint. Nevertheless I want to try. I plan on degreasing it (several times), dry it, sand it fully, then acid washing (at least 2x) as you did. But I need to find a truly excellent crack filler that will span a crack probably over 1" at its worst! Maybe just Quikcrete with a bonding agent.

Again, wonderful garage. I am saving your pix in my Garage Ideas files.

Yes it's still that clean.During a project it gets a little disorganized , but then it's clean up time! My friends are amazed. I must have some sort of affliction...

Been away , working in Europe for the last while . Amazing the things you miss when you're over there . Especially the hot rod / car culture . Sure they have some nice rides , but NOTHING compares to an American V8 . Now that I've finished my rant , I'm looking to start a new garage project with my brother and this one's still the benchmark for me for a smaller space !

Too many little cars in Europe. No horsepower and they sound like **** except for a few lambos,ferrarris etc .

i have been looking a several garage specialists in my area and I always show them this example . All of them can't believe that the workmanship and ingenuity came from somebody that doesn't do this for a living . High praise i thought .
