Very cool transformation, thanks for sharing the pictures. It really looks great!
enjoyed seeing your progress, great garage you got there! Now its time to use and enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work and respond! Right out of college I had a job in KC and I worked in the evening on my projects in a large one car garage. I completely stipped one car down to a roller shell, and built another up in its place. I told myself that my next shop was going to have room, storage, and organization to it no matter what.
It was just big enough to store a car, motorcycle, bench, engine hoist & stand, and everything else you see, and have just enough room to walk around and work on things.
Out of curiosity, what is that garage considered (like 1 car, 3 car etc)
I've been looking for a house, and seeing this it dawns on me that I may be missing out on a good garage because it's consider a 1 car when it's really quite large.
I actually believe this building was listed as a 3 car detached. The house has a 1 car attached garage on it.
Lots of hard work there, and it shows.
And at 26?? wow, you're doing well....
Matthew.
what a great looking place, good job!
Thank you for looking at my thread and taking the time to reply!
I like the placement of the cabinets on the ceiling there. Really I like the whole garage. I was thinking of a similar paint scheme with different colors.
That stinks about the floor problems. It looks great in the pics but I know you can see all the imperfection and how that feels. I didn't have time to let mine cure properly and scraped off some pretty good chunks.
Nice stang also
It looks great in the pics because I had to go back and redo it. Epoxy Coat really worked with me and even if I had to do it all again, I'd still choose them as my vendor. Yeah, it took more work than it should have, but the end product is one I'm very happy with. The paint scheme was actually a last minute change. I had for the longest time planned on going with Ford Blue accents everywhere. However, I then realized that with my car, toolboxes, motorcycle, and a few other items in there being red, setting against a blue backdrop...well that would look too much like KU to me... and since I don't support the stupid mythical bird school in Kansas, I made it all red. It's actually a decision that I think makes the whole place look better anyways.
Amazing. Great job. I'm envious!
Thank you!
Starting this thread and receiving all this feedback from you guys has me motivated again to keep working on the little things that have yet to be finished. I pulled my spare engine out of a storage shed that it had been sitting in and brought it over and set up an area along a wall where I can work on it. (left side of picture)
Then I installed an extension chord reel from the ceiling that had been on my to-do list for only about a year. haha
Someone had asked about the motorcycle table plans. Here is the thread that they originally came from

and here are the plans that I used.

The big things that I can think of off the top of my head that are hopefully coming within the next 12-18 months are:
maxjax car lift where the yellow/primer grey mustang sits
240V Mig Welder
240V air compressor and plumbing throughout
Floor storage of some sort. I need a place to put brooms, my mop, ladder, floor jack etc.
