Started my garage makeover today..

[Steve1968LS2]

I've always been the guy who would rather spend money on his car rather than his garage. Until now. Our last house had a drywalled and finished three car garage that I had set up pretty good. Our current house was built in 1962 and the garage is a mess.

Exposed studs, old concrete floor, bad lighting and ONE.. I reapeat ONE outlet. It's only 20x21 but with only one car in there I have plenty of room to work. I keep the other cars at the other garage.

I spent 8 hours today clearing out the garage. Tomorrow I will take down the industrial shelving that came with the house and insulate. Then the dry wall will go up, get mudded, and then textured.
Thinking of going white up top with a grey lower third seperated by a red stripe. On the far right wall I have new cabinets being made. There will be four 89x49x24 units for a total of 16 feet of storage.

I will also ditch one OLD workbench that came with the house. Nothing wrong with it except it's ugly. I have my large white unit I built and I might get one smaller one for the end of the garage. In addition to the custom cabinets I will be getting a few metal units to hold chemicals and detail supplies.

One the drywall is done I'm having a Liftmaster 3800 jackscrew opener installed so nothing has to hang over my car. I will also be installing some additional lighting and running more electrical. Later I would love to do some sort of ceiling, maybe a t-bar deal.

I still haven't decided on the floor. It's between painted and VCT. I already have a good selection of garage art to hang up

So, let the games begin!
