yea the plain old grey and white garage.......... my trim I'm making will set it apart from the norm I hope..... Also putting up 40" flat screen and pc screen.
The floor is going to be a while $$

Thanks! I've been checking our you build thread......very nice!!! I wish I had separate unattached garage/shop away from my daily drivers..

Sounds interesting, can't wait to see the trim. You get a 'you ****' for adding a 40" flat screen. Trying to decide if and where I can add a small screen in my garage layout.

I like where this is going....

 

[safexcrane]

It will be nice combination of Gray and white.

 

[Nascar4401]

Here is a prototype of the trim I am making.... trying to decide if I want 3 rows of louvers instead of 2 or if spacing needs to be tighter?? Do I want wider red stripes? hmmmmm? What do you guys think?

. Moved everything to opposite side of garage, stripped out shelves for my gladiators to hang. Should be here Tuesday.

Trim looking good as you photo'd it. Love the red stripes. I would be tempted to reflect that trim style in some way on the man door.

Cabinets are here, now need to put them together and figure out how to lay everything out with my tv, stereo, PC monitor and try to hide all the wires..

I definitely will have to stop by soon to check out your setup. Would love to put a TV in my garage as well.

You wanna talk about trim, still working on the 780 linear feet I am installing. Notice the oak trim around the doors that needs sanded and painted. Taking next week off to put this project to bed.

Liking the progress.............Keep it up!

edit: hmm your quoted picture didn't show up ? ?

Since you are using Gladiator cabinets, I'd suggest adding some aluminum diamond plate on the riser/kick plate for the stairs.

I think the louvers would better with three rather than two, three will fill out the trim better.

Looks GREAT! Been trying to talk the wife into hardwood floors at our place..........yours look nice!

 

[JustinS]

Looks like you'll have a good amount of space, looking forward to more updates!

 

[Nascar4401]

Been busy with life lately but here is a little progress....... I fabricated some brackets and hung my PC tower, Receiver and and Direct tv box under my tool bench..

Great idea on the workbench

 

[Rockuf8]

Liking the suspended 'puter leaving room on the floor and benchtop, nice work.

 

[Nascar4401]

Finally some progress made last weekend on my custom trim.

Just need one more roll of red striping tape and trim is finished.

The trim is a very cool custom touch, great job.

 

[dubber]

Very unique custom trim. Any details your willing to share?

The trim is made out .050 aluminum pre painted black and then louvers punched on a Turret press and then bent on a brake here at my work, we manufacture scoreboards. Then I hung them with a joggle system so there are no fasteners showing...... I'll post a end view of trim and joggle later when I get home.

Definitely one of the coolest details I've seen on this forum.

The trim is cool and unique, what purpose do the louvers serve, just design/detail?

Thanks I've been thinking about running LED lights inside so the louvers light up...... but the wife think I'm nuts..

No purpose just detail..........I always like the louvered hoods on Hot rods so thought why not...... plus we have the louver punch here, we use it for ventilation on the backs of scoreboards.

 

[Pat Brady]

I think it looks great!! The stripes really stand out and look so cool. Great job.

"WE" don't. Now i really want to see this!

The first thing I thought of when I saw the louvers were LED's behind them! My folks have that type of cover for stairwell lighting, but bigger. I think it would be super cool around the shop! Trim looks great, too. As does the paint!

 

[Nascar4401]

Here is the end view of trim and joggle it hangs on.

So has the seed been sufficiently planted? That will really set off your garage.
