Assorted Garage/Shop Projects

I like your surface protection! I can't believe the number of times I have found a nice rust ring on my steel top or splash marks from the hose outside! I too am familiar with the game of garage tetris.. only I still can't fit a car in mine. My wife "loves" me! Your mobile bases look a lot better than mine, I'll have to do some research on those.

very nice setup. hopefully when i get a place i can get one going

When it was dull and dirty before, I didn't notice all the undulations in the finish. Now, with everything shiny and one color, it looks like dung.

I'm planning a re-do next spring and will probably do a finish similar to your floor. It'll hide the imperfections in the underlying concrete and provide a bit of anti-slip for our snowy winters.

I'm hoping to install the workbench across the front wall sometime this week. Might be a good rainy day project as the weather is supposed to deteriorate over the next few days.

I'm also planning to repaint the entry door and the trim around the door. My brother says I need a black hose, too, as the green is really harshing on my black and grey theme.

Forget a black hose, I'd go with red, something to add a little color. If you get too much on the monotone scheme, it kills it, kinda like the wavy floor thing, trust me, a tiny bit of color to bring out the gray tones is where it's at. Get rid of the green hose though, green sucks.

You guys make me ashamed of my garage. :D I really need to get it organized better.

No kidding, right?

I have no room in my garage, and had to re-arrange/damn-near-stack-my-motorcycles to get enough space for my drill press to work on a few projects.

Moving two households worth of crap into my house (my wife's parents estate - 2 houses, 2 workshops, and 1 barn on a piece of property in OK) basically said no to spare space.

My happiest day. It was all down-hill for the garage from then on.
