Garage project started!

[lucky_topher]

Finally got to start on my new project... my GARAGE....

here's how the garage looked when i bought it:



most of the stuff on the wall pulled down, holes patched up...



pulled down the already-falling-off pegboard and remaining things, moved stuff away from the walls...



top portion painted white... you can kinda tell the bottom 1/4 or so of the wall is an off-white... that's the color the whole garage was first.... barely noticeable in the pic, but definitely noticeable in person...



taped off the divider using a laser level... freakin amazing tool!



almost half done with the bottom portion!



all done! behind that water heater was a PITA!



tape removed, time to clean up!



all done! (for now)



***

next part is to put epoxy flooring down... grey with black/white/blue flecks in it... possibly some white shelving and/or cabinets in the future as well...

That is soooo nice. Very nice.
What is that white, rectangular, plugged in thing on the left?

My guess is a mini fridge.

I'm surprised you didn't close off (w/a door) your hot water heater. I'd watch that IPod on the fridge if you leave your garage door open. Nice job though on the walls, the epoxy floor will finish it off.

looks good. I don't have a garage on my house but we plan to have one build in
a few years. I can't get a 911 till then (not getting rid of the Boxster either).

When I bought my house, I tackled a LOT of things. I thought I would get to the garage in a few years. I have been there 6 years now. It smells like it is getting closer - but it kills me that it has taken so long. I did however paint the floor right away. I used 'concrete paint' instead of epoxy. Now I am stuck with concrete paint for future touch up, etc. Bummer. The epoxys in recent years are excellent.

Looks good...here's an old pic of my garage; it needs a fixer-upper!
