Need Garage Ideas

[MikeTheGoalie]

Hello everyone, I am a newbie and came across this site. Figured I spend most of my time in the garage working on cars and trucks.. I want to make my garage better!

I am moving into a new home. It's not even done as of yet. Should be done in April. The bad thing is I didn't get to pick out where I want outlets and such so that I will have to figure out when I get there and make changes.

The garage is a 3 car tandem and this is my first ever 3 car. My second house really. Here is my first garage. I tiny 20'x20' garage. But I did the best I could with it..

What I would like to do is make a wall to wall counter top and below the counter top storage. Also put cabinets above the counter top also wall to wall.

I want to paint the garage like this one, maybe RED instead of blue with a black line.

Actually, here are some more RECENT pics of it. I changed it to the gray.. But want it brighter..

I am sure there are many pictures on here and I tend to go through them here shortly. If anyone has ideas, pointers etc please free to leave me some feedback!

Love the Vulcan toolboxes! You don't see those anymore.

Wow. That's your first house? Have you sold your present home yet? I'm interested in what the realtor will say about it. It looks really nice and I would think it will really make your house sell quickly. I'm interested in seeing your new garage when you move.

Welcome! I have a question right off the bat..."The garage is a 3 car tandem"...

Are We talking one car wide and three cars deep?

No, it will be a 2 car garage with one side being 2 cars deep.

I have not sold the house as of yet. I am sure the relator will like the garage as well. I get alot people stopping by when they walk by saying it's nice. I spend alot of my time in it so I use it.

My new garage I think I may build my own cabinets against the tandem back wall. Paint the walls 3 feet up red, with a 3 or 4 inch black strip.

I just wanted to see what you guys were doing and see if I could use that as ideas..
