Ryan’ Garage

[Ryanbabz71]

Well I bought a new house a few weeks ago (March 2020) with a 3 car garage (a little over 650 sq foot). Due to some life changes. I previously had a 3 car but also had two sheds. New locations can’t have a shed so I will have to be a bit smarter about organization/ downsizing

The garage was unfinished but as part of the deal with the builder (spec home) I got them to insulate drywall and paint

First “mod” was a little lighting

Next “mod” was having the garage floor. Had it professionally coated

Since I have room in front of my car that’s where the toolboxes are going. I haven’t fully got them organized/in place so these are the “draft” photos

Next up was some more LED lights. 12 eight foot sections as of today I have 4 installed. My son actually got me going on this project. Last night he was like let’s go start the lights. Welp that was enough to switch gears thanks for the suggestion [emoji16]

Sweet. How are you liking all the lights so far?

Congrats on the new space. Can i ask about that half wall to the third bay. Is that a permanent feature, or will you be completing or able to remove it?

I too have been curious about those lights, cool to see them installed, thanks!

The lights are awesome. Can’t wait to get them all up.

That half wall is load bearing the master bedroom is above the garage. Not sure what I plan to do with it yet.

The floor came out great. Your garage is very close to mine in layout and size except they are mirrored. That load bearing wall would drive me nuts. I love the Camaro.

Looking good, so far! Love the color on that Camaro! Lighting looks pretty legit and the floor came out great. Keep up the good work!

Love it! Hope my son shares the same enthusiasm when he grows up!

Got another bank up



I suggest using a laser line (bought a cheap $15 black and decker laser) goes much quicker

Actually, the lights look pretty cool on the floor too, altho I guess that wouldn't be very practical....

What is with that unsheathed wall? Why is it unfinished?

That third bay would be a great place to use for storage, that is if you have a bunch of **** like I do. Your garage is really looking good.

Nice work!

Go Bears.. but Boo Cubs.. Sox all the way!

 

[Ryanbabz71]

Go cubs! [emoji23] I am so missing baseball right now. Especially coaching my sons 10u team. The state high school association just canceled their season officially [emoji22]

Got some shelving up for my detailing supplies

This is also a great way to store a bike to save some space

I'm scratching my head a bit as to why the shelving went up before finishing the wall. Is it just temporary until you decide?

Yea I don’t know what I want to do there. It’s easy enough to remove I had to get all that stuff organized

Added a storm door today so I can see outside when my kids are outside or the dog can watch me when I am in the garage

Looking awesome! With all the lights up what do you think? Was it three rows? How many 8 footers or 4 footers? Did you hide the plug or hardwire them? Nice!

I used all 8 footers. 2 rows in each bay (3 bays 12 eight foot lights)

I’ll snap some photos of the wiring. I didn’t hide anything. I have them going to two outlets and have a wireless controller to turn them on.

They are super bright. I really like them.
