Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT Pool House Garage Makeover

[ned911]

The detached pool house has a 366 sq ft of garage space. Essentially it's 1.5 cars deep (deep enough for a '72 911 or 914 and a newish Polaris ATV) with a bump out section.

Floors are getting done tomorrow then probably paint the walls on Saturday. Need to make decision on the wall color, floor will be grey with black and white chips. Other decisions are work bench, cabinets, Quick Jack storage, where to put jack stands (have the wall hanger), air delivery (Maxline?) and roll away. I want to keep as much stuff off the walls in the skinny section so there is room to walk around the car.

My garage is very similar, with the bump out on the opposite side, and to the back. I'm getting ready to paint my floors too. What kind of product are you going with?

It was a polyasparic I believe. Had 2 other friends use the same company, did everything in 1 day including grinding and vacuuming.

You are to a good start.

And now it's painted. Very pleased. Waiting on lights and bench. Need to put in air distribution too. The horizontal doors in the front are for access to the pool house HVAC. Had the Penguino hooked up and venting out the side windows but at 108 outside it's a little underwhelming lol.

Have a tire dolly for the stack of wheels and QuickJack wall mounts to install.

Trying to decide where to hang the Quick Jack. Front near the garage door or towards the back.

Decided on near the garage door as it would be easier to maneuver with a car in the garage.

I'm pretty sure it's against GJ rules for you to mention your cars and not show them!
Nice job so far, looking forward to seeing the finished layout with the bench and cabinets. I've been giving the quickjacks a second thought. In retrospect, I would have poured my floors to accommodate them in-ground to minimize storage issues in my small space. On the otherhand, the speed that I get things done mean that when the project goes into the air, it stays there for a while. So the "quick" part is just wasted on me.

Cars and side view of the pool house as well. The yellow 914 and Aubergine 911 are my wife's (RIP). White 911 was my race car now going back to street. Both 911's are '72s.

The 914 ('74) is now metallic saffron, stunning car and so much fun to drive.

Started hanging the hex lights. So much brighter than the old fluorescents. Trying to get this done while it's under 105 degrees this week.

Still working on getting things organized. This weekend threw the 914 on the Quick Jack to investigate a noise in the RR that would change with speed. Ended up just being a untorqued wheel
