Pics of my recently finished garage

Nice job. I really like all the cabinets you have in there. I just finished sprucing up my garage a bit too, but its only a 2.5 car w/6" added top the depth. How is the race deck with things like your creeper, floor jack and jack stands?

I have a huge pet peeve about stuff laying out, so i went with the majority of cabinets so nothing was out unless it was being used :D



The Racedeck is holding up very well. its EASY to roll around on the creeper, and it definitely can handle the pinpointed weight of jackstand corners, no complaints here!

Looks pretty sweet! I love your artwork. F1, Audi and Porsche. You have great taste in cars all around!

:bow
 
Fantastic! Good garage shots inspire me to really sort mine out - car is going away for some restoration next month for a couple of weeks so plenty of time to beautify its house!



As pugoman said, we don't have garages that big over here - unless your house price runs to lots of zeros!!



What do you guys do about cycle storage? I have 2 mountain bikes and they're a PITA as I've nowhere to hang them and I can't seem to find a suitable storage method which keeps them well out of my way (i.e. high up - not a problem as I'm over 6')

I let my kids leave the bikes in the driveway and my wife looks after them by running over them.



Problem solved.

We ended up hanging them with a pulley system, trying our hardest to keep them away from the cars and not above....has worked out pretty well so far and its easy to get them down.

Beautiful!



How is that Racedeck to live with? Is it durable for spills, etc.?

I am quite pleased with the racedeck! I changed my oil yesterday, and as always with those crappy catch pans, there was plenty of oil spilled on the tiles, but it wiped right up with a towel, didnt stain and wasnt slippery. Same goes for other spills: tire wet, quick detailer, brake fluid, etc. It gets my vote over the epoxy paint which we had in the previous garage. :)

Thanks to Brad B. as well as everyone else for the compliments! :D



I was very careful in choosing my artwork. I wanted to pick out cars that have significant history (excluding the BMW F1...it was the closest i could come to the F2003, which has no good posters) so i can walk into that garage 10 years from now and have it look "timeless" rather than "dated". I have a Ferrari F1 commemorative poster on the way, and all thats left to complete it is a Vette banner to hang from the garage, and a C5 vette poster....but i cant find any good ones :angry
 
wow - everything but the kitchen sink!

(and maybe a fridge, and net access to log on for how-to's, etc) you're *very* close... ;)
 
YOU RAT *******! THAT'S ONE NICE GARAGE:bow



For lighting, add two metal halide lamp assemblies, but keep the florecents as MH takes time to fully come up.



They are very bright in Kelvin range and produce a good down light with the right fixture.



Love the tiles! Nice touch! :xyxthumbs



Next you'll tell me it has a drain too!:shocked



Hat's off to you!! Now let me go and cry in the corner!



Regards,

Deanski

:D thanks Deanski! I did look into MH assemblies, but we just dont have the electricity to support them...and the circuit panel is full :(



And it has not one, but two floor drains! Look closely at the tiles and you'll see one on each side of the garage that is silver instead of gray and of an open drainable pattern.



Later plans include a TV/dvd hung from the center garage rails, and once i replace my current laptop, the outdated one will be reformatted and sent to the garage with a 802.11g wireless card :) The ultimate shop manual
