[NOTV8]

That is sweeeeeet. I might start looking on doing mine. How did you do the floor? Is that paint or tile?

 

[Bandit3]

Very nice job! John

From my other post:
I used Armstrong Standard Excelon Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) for the floor, but when I called Armstrong, they said they could not guarantee the product if the temp would drop below 50 degrees, as it could have "catastrophic failure". Now, my garage is semi heated, (tapped into the first level duct work), and it's not used as a typical garage, (not driven on in the winter), that, coupled with the price, I didn't care, worst case scenario, I could always replace the "failed" tiles. But they held up fine so far, and the temp dipped below 50 for a short period.

I love it. Just curious - my garage is full of crap that my wife doesn't want to throw away but doesn't want in the house. Did you have the same problem, and if so, what did you do with it?

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Looks great!

 

[Anaconda]

Still no naked lady pic posters on the wall???

Well, other than that, looks great!

Garage looks great. I started out with a polished concrete floor and was kind of talked into a tile floor. Glad I did tile. Stuff wipes right off and no staining. Yes I've dropped wrenchs on it and it hasn't chipped yet! But the pattern I used you wouldn't see it anyway. As 99R/T10 suggested, I put in a lift. If you have room, try to do it. To see my garage go to www.qtrturn.com and click on PICTURES.

Wow, thats clean! Nice job.

We moved into the house not to long ago, so we had stuff organized in boxes that went straight into the unfinished basement, aprox 1600 sq ft, and that's where things like shovels, etc, thing we don't use often, are, until I get a shed.
Thanks all for the compliments, I learned from the old house, where I said from day one I would finish the garage, and 8 yrs later never got around to it, that the garage would be one of my first projects. And, my dad and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Assuming you have a basement or attic.....Go to walmart and pick up as many as you need of their BIG plastic storage tubs with covers. These things are like 3 feet long 2 feet tall and a couple feet wide with covers that snap on. I had the same problem, after going after it in this manner you will cut the space occupied by junk by 2/3 to 3/4, they are stackable as well, right up to the ceiling, and the appropriate ladies, I have a daughter involved in the "stuff" issue, will love it as the "stuff" is now protected in sealed plastic containers, if the water heater spits up their "stuff" is still safe. I actually packed away some of my VALUABLES, like old car magazines, as opposeed to their "stuff", as well. Really works well. If this approach does not work I see you have a Nissan Titan.......How early does she go to sleep and what time does the dump close?

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Where did the corner shelf come from that holds the models, VERY NICE!

 

[MAVERICK]

Wowww! Great job.

 

[JPL]

Yeah, I used those plastic tubs too, we got ours from target, works great, as far as those corner shelves go, those were square pieces of thick plexi-glass that were cut diagonally, a hole drilled in the back to run a long pipe through, then screwed the pipe into the corner through a stud, topped it of with an old momo shift knob.

 

[vipertime3]

So, how do you install the vynil? What surface prep is required to make sure everything stays put?

Thanks.

This is a good site with alot of info:

But we just made sure the floor was really clean, free of oil spots, etc, it went down pretty easily.
