My new project while mama is gone..... My Bench has an update

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....

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.

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.

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

Good work

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!
