Just posted in the intro section and figured I'd start a garage journal since I have quite a bit of work ahead of me.
Just moved into the house about a month ago. It's a nice sized ranch with a full basement.
You can see the daily driver (95 Honda Del Sol) parked outside waiting for its chance to become an inside car.
It's an oversized 2 car garage with an 8x6ft nook at the front right. Inside I currently have my baby (Modified 06 Subaru STi) and an assortment of saws and lawn equipment. The current plan is to get this garage cleaned out. It came with alot of **** left in it. The shelving is all half assed and whole thing needs a good winter cleaning. It will eventually be the home of the daily driver as well as my girlfriends daily driver (92 Celica).
But where will the Subaru go?
Oh where does this driveway go?
Just seems to keep going...
This is where the "GARAGE" is located around back.
Here is what I have been working on for the last 2 weeks. It's a 22'x40' garage with a 6'x8' nook in the back left corner. The garage actually extends under the upstairs garage so the back half isn't much more than a concrete ceilinged tomb (Hence all of the support beams and poles). The original owner of the house was the builder for the subdivision and this is where he kept alot of building material and equipment.
Some rain water drainage issues (which are mostly fixed) and some neglect left this space full of mud, grime and saw dust. I spent two entire days just power washing all of the walls and floor. I'm currently in the process of sealing all of the joints, DRYLOKing the exterior walls and painting everything else a nice clean white. I really wish I had a before picture with the old shelving and the mud caked walls
You can see the difference between the near post which has just been cleaned and the far post which has already been coated with semigloss rustoleum white paint.
Future plans include more painting, flooring, compressor, cabinetry, shelving, and entertainment features. Lots of work to do. Everyone tells me Rome wasn't built in a day so I'm trying to pace myself.

. I will add you are close enough to Cincinati to pick up some killer deals on garage stuff on craigslist.
