Default Let's see the Garage

Couldn't find a thread here in the X150 forum. I'd like to see where everyone's keeping their kitty. I moved (downsized) in April. Since then, I acid stained the floor, then added a polyurethane, taped, mudded, painted the garage, added new cabinets because I could bring mine from my last house. Then I added cove base. Not great but not bad. I'm happy with it.



So let's see yours.

Here’s the one attached to the house. I can actually get 4 cars in this one because it’s deep enough (behind the Escalade). And yes...I like white vehicles 😊

Here’s the one I built in the yard. 45x30 with 16’ walls and pitched roof. Since this pic it’s been completed. Insulation and inner steel lining added. Also added a basketball goal for my boys to use for a couple of years. That’s why walls and ceiling are so high.

Sean, you should be ashamed having such a neat and comfy home for your cat! I'm GREEN! I guess that's going to be another project for next year.

Sean,

It turned out great, but ... it'll never look as neat and clean as it does today. Ask me how I know.

Hehe, this is @ 4 months. I just finished building a deck so I put my tools away and snapped the pics, so yes, my wife insists I keep it somewhat clean. Come on Guys. Post some of yours.

You put me to shame, as I did mine more than 10 years ago and over the years it has become a repository for the miscellaneous.

I'm not going to show you the inside because it is a mess. I can fit 7 cars in it. Almost 2,000 sq ft.

Yeh, if my garage looked that neat, I wouldn’t park cars in it either.

My last garage floor was so pitted from road salts so I decided to do something preventative. The polyurethane (I went for the wet look) is holding up ok. It scratches easier than epoxy. We'll see how it survives the first winter.

Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of clearance around the Jag and really, isn't that what matters?

I consider mine a "working garage" but both of my British cars are put away for the winter. The engine is coming out of the MGB in a few weeks for an air conditioning project. The XKR might get a new set of spark plugs but she doesn't really need them.

You guys all suck. This is the garage from my former house;


, and then I'll not even bother with the one I'm in now (plans are for a 32 x 40 high-ceiling shop on the back lot 'someday')

I do have another 24 x 28 shop, but it has my two Mustangs in it, and it's at one of my other houses, too far to go daily to work on stuff.


SO, for now if I need to do any work on the Jag, I pull it out of the single-side of the three-car, move the wife's two cars to the driveway, and use her double-side.
