My new project while mama is gone.....

[n8tive97]

After visiting some of your shops, I got a fire under my rear. So far I have added dry wall where the builder left it out of the garage, found some very nice cabinets on

Craigslist and finished the counter top with 2X6's. I need to hang more cabinets on the wall and finish the peg board on the wall. I have been working out some frustration out on the garage!!!! [ROFL2]

Thought I would share for what ever reason.....

UPDATE - Stained the bench top, trimmed it off and started hanging peg board....

Here's mine... been getting nagged because the tv in the bedroom isn't on the wall. It will be backlit with white LEDs activated by a touch switch.2212522127

This makes me *want* to get my lazy @$$ in gear. Wanting is a step in the right direction, right?

Dont know if any of you have heard of this forum but GarageJournal.com is a great place to get ideas on garages. Lots of very wealthy people on there building unbelievable garages but its a cool sight.

That forum makes me want to sin. Thou shalt not covet. Yeah, not paying attention to that one.

[hammer03]

Ugh, I need to do this too... Got the insulation in and ran out of steam.

[Kraven251]

now that it looks like the company I work for is going to be around for awhile I need to get working on finding a house, so I can do some fun projects like this

[Dave_L]

My garage came fully insulated, drywalled and heated. :)

This summer, I plan on pulling everything out and recovering the floors (They were painted but it's coming off) and organizing it a bit better.

[griebel303]

That floor is sexy, but who the hell puts a KIA logo on a wall.

[cjmore]

Yeah that garage is too pretty. I build stuff and rebuild stuff in my garage.

[n8tive97]

Updated with picture 4 and 5. Now I don't even want use the damn thing. I just sit out in the garage drinking a beverage and trying to figure out where to put the press, case trimmer and powder measure.....

[sniper7]

Looks great!

[hammer03]

Don't you need to stand the pegboard off the wall in order to get the pegs in?


Good work

[MCarp71]

[griebel303]

I hope the first shop remodel added radiant floor heat. That is SO nice when you're rolling around, under the car, in the middle of February.

Yes, I just put the first piece up to see what it would look like. I used 1X2 on the wall and nailed the peg board to those.
Good eye!
