why is the garages walls half concrete was the garage built into a hill??

 

[holland_patrick]

the back side is..

 

[sawatch]

What is the floor size?

 

[holland_patrick]

The floor size is 23x23 more pics to comes as the walls are bare and ready for paint soon

looks like you have a low 8ft ceiling which is good bc it will take less energy to heat the place, same for if your going to install an air conditioner. i can see the potential already! good luck with the garage & dont stop visualizing what you want the final build of the garage to look like!

 

[holland_patrick]

well this will be an unheated space as there is nothing over it but roof.. when i need to do some work.. then out come my little heater and it will warm up quickly

 

[holland_patrick]

Everything is off the walls now and a few cabinets are up along with some paint.The garage is full of stuff so it's taking WAY longer then i'd like...

 

[AndrewBigA]

love to see cabinets stocked with detailing supplies =)
keep the pics comming patrick!

 

[TJE]

[wagonmaster]

[holland_patrick]

Thank's guys i moved a few things around...

And here is the rest of the mess...

 

[holland_patrick]

A little update

some more paint went up along with more wall cabinets

and my fathers day gift

 

[Jack Olsen]

Looking good.

And progress is progress. It might go fast or slow, but so long as you're getting closer to the goal...

It's nice to see that ancient drywall and mud finally get some paint on it.

 

[holland_patrick]

Your telling me.... it's soo much brighter

 

[cowboy73]

It's looking very nice. The painted pics make the garage look so much brighter.

 

[holland_patrick]

got a Little more done in the old Garage...

I used The BEHR 1-Gallon Satin 1-Part Epoxy Acrylic Concrete and Garage Floor Paint

 

[Bull]

Holy ****! I don't even recognize the space when compared to the first pics!

 

[ehegwer]

Wow! You've come a long way in a short time. Looks good.

 

[holland_patrick]

Wow! You've come a long way in a short time. Looks good.

it would seems so but it's been over a year now.. I really wanted to put down some race deck but that will have to wait.

My Daughter who is sitting on the stool was my helper yet again it seems that we always work on the garage floor together. I haven't seem the one at her mothers house but i'm guessing it's still holding up as no work get's done in there just parking.

Oh also i used DRYLOK 1-Gal. Grey Masonry Waterproofer on the half wall. I'm not sure if it's worth it our not I just like how it's gritty and fills the little holes really nice

the bottom cabinets are next when i get some $$$$

 

[couchmechanic]

Wow! The cabinets and paint are making a big difference. What are your next steps?

 

[holland_patrick]

Wow! The cabinets and paint are making a big difference. What are your next steps?

I would like to mirror the base cabinets to the wall ones to 3 36 inchers over on the right side and on the left i'll do 2 30 inchers and the 42 inch tool chest

left will be a 4 drawer model with a two drawer two door

right will be two door models maybe one four drawer

wood conter top on the top with either 6 or 8 inch legs on the bottem

and a 30-40 inch lcd in between them on the wall

 

[holland_patrick]

Well it's sad but even after 2 weeks i'm getting tire lift already... but i'm going to be doing race deck when i can afford it so i'll just live with it for now anyways it looks 100% better

 

[holland_patrick]

Back to the garage it was birthday time and I got a little Cash.....

and some art work....

it's going along well

 

[Morgan06]

Congratulations great progress in a short amount of time. Looks like I will be doing my garage interior in white also.

 

[SRX]

Have you been shopping in New Haven?
Ikea is a great place to mix and match. Nice layout as well.

 

[marty_p]

I don't even recognize the space when compared to the first pics!

Great progress and space, Patrick!

 

[holland_patrick]

[dubber]

Awesome! That will change your garage completely. That shed is huge!

 

[CoconutPete]

Nice garage! Mine is in West Hartford and is about 1/2 the size of that. Slightly overcrowded.
