Hello all! My name is Matt and I am looking forward working on the garage when it warms up a bit and the snow melts. We have a standard 2 car garage that is attached to the house.
I like to spend time in the garage during the warmer months. I have made it somewhat comfortable already as I have a mini fridge, tv with satellite, stereo, table and chairs, etc. I mostly relax and work on my 87 monte carlo (well what I can do myself). Oh yah I have a nice screen system to keep the bugs out.
What I would like to do depending on the costs this spring is:
Install several more outlets on the walls. I actually only have 1 right now plus the one on the ceiling for the garage door opener. I would like to wire up some additional plugs in the ceiling for shop lights or have them hardwired. I am thinking I would like to install 5. The walls are unfinished and the panel is in the garage so that is good. It should make it a bit easier to run.
I want to finish the walls. At this point I am thinking of doing some cheap ply wood or OSB as I hate dry walling. I may get an estimate for someone to hang and finish it. I don't know yet. I will paint it.
Some inexpensive shelving.
I want to redo the cement floor. The cement is fine so I was thinking of an epoxy coating. I saw the product at Home Depot but I have read places that it may not hold up. I may get an estimate for that too. That's about it.
I look forward learning from this site.
Any suggestions for me?
