I've been working away at my garage..check it out!

Tropicality - oh she's bright in there alright...thanks for the compliments buddy.

D&D Auto Detailing - Thank you for the compliment.

Excessive Detail - you are correct my friend I'm missing 6 more lights.

What a nice set-up. I love all of the lighting and the floor will finish it off. I just ordered some Gladiator cabinets for my garage. I'm going to take down the shelving and put everything out of sight in the cabinets. I sold a motorcycle to give me more room in the garage for detailing. This is madness!

Al..get a grip quickly! Are you kidding? Please tell me you've got another one hidden away somewhere! I have my products in milk crates to give room for my Intruder and that's the way it'll stay. being off on parental leave right now, I took the insurance off for this year, but I'll be back on 'er next. M/C's are another big passion of mine.
 
woops I re-read your post, and from what I have read you should double up on the epoxy. PM my your email and I can forward all the emails Rustoleum sent to me.
 
Looks good, 1 thing I highly reccomend is a TV. I hang out in the garage all day long on the weekends with baseball on, football, ESPN, whatever. I actually prefer to watch tv outside as oppose to inside on the couch and that keeps me working on stuff. Love TV in the garage. Anyways, nice work man, looks great!
 
WOW that was great, Love the lights, its a must when detailing.

You got so many lights that you may consider using sunblock so you dont get burnt...
 
sneek - you think I'll need more EPOXY? Really? I'll PM you...I got two of kits of it.

Gnarboots11 - oh I agree with you about the TV. I told my wife that I'm going to get a TV for the garage she thought I was crazy...I've explained it to her so many times and she just wont get it...woman ;) I'm sure I'll end up getting a nice LCD TV in there :D

Truls - The lighting sure helps, makes such a big difference. I'm looking forward to this weekend...I got a few vehicles lined up...hahaha sunblock...hahaha good one.

Nica, I hope you don't over do it to the point where you are sleeping in the garage because it that happens it probably won't be because you want to. ;)
 
...ah so true Gary...but if I do end up sleeping in the garage at least I'll have all I need...polishign products, polishign tools, some cars to sleep in/polish, a TV...I don't know about the friedge (not enough room, me thinks)...heck with all the polishing products I wont need a blankie :D

Thanks for the warning Gary...I'll have to keep that in mind as I keep working away at the garage ;)

You got to get a fringe in the garage Nica. Cold drinks in the summer are a must when detailing.
 
Get a fridge dude, I love mine.

Garage looks great, but I have to ask, does your house lights dim when you turn all those lights on?
 
Gary - I was looking at one of the small fridges, good size and it could fit...well technically speaking anything could fit right now becuase there is nothing in there at the moment besides the metal cart and the sterio on the cart :D. My friend keep teling me "you need a place to put beer!" hahaha...I get the hint :D

Brandon - No way, lights in the house do not dim. The garage has it's seperate 100amp panel. Lots of power for all my (future) toys...oh and I'm working on the fridge.

Idea: dig a hole!! If it was rebared/cemented properly it will hold a pad of at least 6'x6' with a little bit of beam reinforcement just in case....Cellar baby!! You could hide ALOT of beer down there and maybe something else too hehe.
 
Nica ..your garage has the best set up i've ever seen ..i think we all need to head over to your house fire up the grill have a few good ice cold beers and enjoy the new garage..whatta you say buddy :)

Nica, having a fringe in the garage is nice. I also have a sink and a stove in one garage. When I remodeled my kitchen I put a lot of the old cabinets in my garages. All I need is a washer and dryer and I'll be all set when my wife won't let me back in the house. I'm looking forward to redoing my main garage. I need lots of more lighting like you, fix one spot of drywall on the ceiling, paint and finish the floor. I'm not sure if I'm going to tile or epoxy the floor. I really need to get ride of a lot of junk out there. It's hard not having a basement in Florida. Your garage looks great.

That's wicked Gary a sink and a stove...perfect I can crash at your garage for Detail fest III :righton: ;)

You got the perfect set up bro...a sink, stove and a fridge...very nice :applause: I was looking at a sink but this garage is to small...maybe the next house I'll get that installed. Looking forward to your pictures of the garage Gary. oh abut the floor the problem here in Canada and tile is that it gets really cold and it's known to bust tiles up becuase it gets so cold. It happend to a friend of mine and removing the tiles in the garage was a pain. Don't get me wrong it looks wicked but maybe with the climate your at it would be best....Epoxy is the way I'm going to have to go, I actually found some plastic (I think) tyles that can just lay on top of the concrete...kinda like a tyle look but when I looked at them up close and saw how they really look I didn't like it oh and not cheap other about $1,200 to do my garage...wile Epoxy was on sale for about $89 each...so I picked up two kits of it.
