Hi too all...

Just found this forum and its fantastic, looking forward to sharing and learning from others.

First off I'm three years into my garage project in our new home we purchased in '07. My attached garage is 23 x 23 with a small 3 x 9 niche.

My goal is to have nothing but my two Mustangs and anything related to my babies only in the garage (workbench, tool and cabinets).

However, one small problem, my wife... She loves to hoard **** and she has many hobbies like refinishing furniture and such.

So my actually first 'garage' projects had nothing to do with my garage!

Phase I: I had to build 160 sf of storage shelving in our attic for her ‘indoor ****’.

Phase II: Having a custom built 12 x 24 workshop in the backyard. This holds my lawn equipment and her ‘outdoor ****’. Its insulated, has power, along with AC/Heat so she has a place to work all year round.

Now onto my garage; the first thing we did was to start with a mural on the Shelby’s side of the garage.

Followed by my license plate collection (all 50 states x2 and a few extras).

Then last spring I finally got around to coating my floor with the Rust-Oleum EPOXYSheild (I have a few questions about this later on).

Here’s a shot after I added matching LeMans Stripes.

On my to-do list for this spring:
Clear coat the floor
Add some more garage art
Install workbench and cabinets

Welcome to the Forum, that's a sweet garage you have there. LOVE the Shelby artwork on the wall, every innovative, great idea with the projector. Clearly you are a wise man by addressing your wife's storage requirements up front. Can't wait to see more.

Well I finally took some time off this fall while the weather was warm and dry to recoat my garage floor with RUSTOLEUM Gloss Clearcoat over the Epoxy-Shield Color coat I put down last year. I wish I had done a better job, but it still turned out pretty good for a rookie.

I also added a new cabinet and workbench, cleaned out the last little bit of my wife's stuff and hung my latest license plates to my collection (look close).....

My next project will be the addition of some additional outlets behind the bench, cable and a Flat screen/DVD combo hung on the wall.

Then my kids surprised me the weekend after I finished this phase and bought me a matching rolling toolbox and stool for my birthday. I was finally able to retire my 35 year old Kennedy toolbox....
