Hello to all! I have a two car attached garage I have been trying to improve lately. I bought a sports car last year so I find myself spending much more time in the garage. My garage is 22' wide and 24' long with two 7'x9' doors.
Doors are new a couple years ago and have windows in the top panel. I've increased my lighting to six 4' fluorescent fixtures. The attic over the garage was not insulated, so put 4" over the entire attic this last January, made a big difference in the winter and summer! Walls are all drywalled and painted. One access door to the house, no other windows or doors other than a hatch to the attic.
My floor is my next concern, it is smooth concrete with some fine pitting. Will
epoxy hold up to a steel wheeled floor jack? Everything else has hard rubber casters.
I have some pegboard over my 5' workbench, it works okay. I made custom hangers for my Shopsmith accessories so they have their own spot with minimal space waste.
Currently using a 4" grid tool hanging system for shovels, rakes, and what not. Not happy with it, seems like a waste of grid for the most part. Don't like loose hanging tools near the cars either. Was thinking about building 8" deep cabinetry with pegboard doors to keep everything inside to look neat and to not accidently be bumped and knocked off into things.
Well this is enough for now!
Take care!
Tim.
