New guy... my garage remodeling project.

[Cobra4B]

Decided to jump in and re-do it. I purchased my house in September of 2004 and re-decorated/painted everything. When it came time for the garage I was tired of painting and never finished it the way I wanted.

So far I've taken down all of my posters/flags/etc, fixed all the drywall (lots of holes), painted it all white, and hung up chair molding. I still have to paint the chair molding and the window/door trim (it'll be corvette red, matched off of a hat I have), coat the floor, install cabinets, install the checkerboard vinly tile below the chair molding, etc.

Thanks for the inspiration...My garage and yours looks very similiar before the remodeling. Wish mine had the Vette!!

 

[Cobra4B]

Thanks for the compliments =) Back at it today taping off then painting the red trim.

nice, good job, sweet vet you got

 

[joecaver]

you're off to a good start keep us up to date.

Some updates... the chair molding is done being painted, but I had to start over on teh window/door trim b/c I didn't prime it. I got two coats of red on it and it looked like ****. So I primed it and it has one coat on it. It'll probably need two more.

Next up is to start putting up the checkerboard tiles below the molding.

Almost finished...

Still have to figure out weather I want to use indsutrial vinyl tile on the floor or race deck... we'll see. Also need to put up the cabinets and run the outlet for the compressor.

That looks great! Good to see another A/X guy on here. ( I know those trailers well. ) Great look'n car, I'm sure it handles just as well as it looks. Hey, speaking of trailers. I've got a couple of spares for those, 5 lug Ford spacing I believe. If you're ever in the need of one let me know. I converted a jet ski trailer to a dedicated track trailer with 17" rims to match the car and I'd be happy to ship you one, or both, of the old 12" rims on the cheap.

Also, what's this?

Is that just sick-on vinyl type on the walls?

The box on the left looks like his electric panel.

The thing on the right looks like a pump the that pumps water into a small pressure tank and then to an outside faucet.

Just a guess though

The thing on the wall is the electrical box cover and the thing on the right is a well pump.
