My wife and I recently purchased a new home last summer and since then I’ve been lurking, creeping, and stealing from threads on GJ. I’m a bit of a Boy Scout and like to keep most everything that I’ve ever been in contact with which means I have accumulated a fair amount of NOT junk.

After moving in we didn’t have much cash to drop so I opted for some wire rack shelves to store what I had stacked.






Initially I wanted to jump in and get the epoxy floor done before getting things too settled. I figured I would need to move everything out of the garage and wanted to do it before I accumulated even more. After some research I found that the epoxy treatment might not be the best long term decsion for us. Instead of the epoxy I’m pushing for Racedeck.

Instead of messing with the flooring I got started with painting the walls. The garage came finished and textured so there wasn’t much prep to do. I used semi gloss and so far it’s been a good decsion.











Next on the list to do is get some real cabinets up. I’m pretty much set on the NewAge pro series but at this point it’s just a dream. I will continue to update as I start to document the quest.

Very nice. I too am a . . . um . . . collector of stuff. The garage looks nice, makes me wish mine came 'finished'. I'm in the process of insulating and buttoning up the walls.

Last weekend I started working on a wall piece. I wanted a place to securely mount a fire extinguisher, flash light, paper towels, and most importantly a bottle opener. I didn’t find what I was looking for so I ended up building something myself.

I initially painted the board with the same paint I used in the lower section of the wall but the board wasn’t looking like what I had wanted. I grabbed a can of gray pastidip and coated it with that. The finished board now looks and feels professionally done. I’m going to let the board cure out and I’ll mount it next to the kitchen door.
