rha600 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Man, it's been a LONG time. So we finally bought a house (closed a month ago) and I finally have my garage. It's still in progress and being used to do other projects around the house so it was cluttered when I took the latest photos, but you can get the idea. So here is how it started when I bought the house. Basic shelves and in need of some minor maintenance. The truck barely even fit in. So first I had to get the concrete pad the old owners put in cut ad partially removed. My truck fit in with it but the car didn't. if you note where it meets up with the door it was also a huge tripping hazzard. Then I sprayed the walls with new paint, and we got a new hotwater heater. Washer/dryer will come later. I took all the shelving out on the one side and bought two cabinets. One for car cleaning supplies and one for tools and such. We are in the process of having impact windows put in the house as well so once those are in I can get rid of the hurricane shutters on top of the shelves on the other side and replace them with two 48" cabinets like these. Then once the washer/dryer is in I'm also goign to add one or two 30" wall cabinets over them as well. car cleaning supplies. Also I see my camera was focus challenged on this shot for some reason. I actually got the handing brush idea from here. It's hard to see with all the crap but I also have a couple of shelves low on that far wall for the recycle bins. And the roll away tool chest actually sits up next to the HW heater but I took it down to paint the wall and now there is baseboard in the way being stained. haha.

rha600 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks May. My long term goal is to eventually either put a flush mount lift in the floor from Bentpak or gut the attic and make it a high ceiling so I can put a small lift in that can raise the truck high enough to comfortably work on. Oh, and I also ordered my race deck flooring today so that should be in NEXT weekend. I'll take more photos as I get it cleaned up and added to.

My lift was Summer 10, new garage heat pump was this Summer, so hopefully floor next year! Make sure you take a lot of pics!! BTW nice job!

Chase@InsanePaint Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 FINALLY took some shots of the "finished for now" garage!!! Everything is always a work in progress, we all know that. But for NOW I'm happy with where I'm at. Here in a few weeks, I'm going to take a few days off and lay down some nice floor coating. Not sure what system, there's a few good ones, but more than likely a nice red from Ucoat-it!! So that will be coming by the end of September!! Other than that, I'm feeling very organized & stylish about the way things turned out. Most of the flags & banners came from Ebay or Amazon, or the vendor themselves. Straight on - Charger side - Jeep side - Walking into Charger side, to the left - Notice the halogen overhead. GREAT detailing light in here now - Little further down the wall - What the Charger stares at every night for bed - Door area, heading into our basement - Quickie of the Charger's show poster, portable twin halogens, & 1 of the 4 pumpin' Sony speakers - Little workbench/shelving area in the middle - Closeup of the new stereo (LOVE this thing, HIGHLY recommend) - The door into/out of the garage - Overall view of the Jeep side - To the right of the Jeep (pax side) - Area in front of the Jeep - Sitting on top of the fridge - The sticker graveyard on the fridge, lol - Black & Decker workbench/storage area (Flex pads drying, lol) - Little "cove" area I have off to the corner - Ignore the "other" products leftover, lol. FULL ADAM'S convert now!! About 1/2 my microfiber collection is in the wash right now. Little low, lol - Would like to get some form of a Mopar/Dodge/SRT rug for in front of the door as well. I'll see what I can find, but no rush. And I know I'm a bad boy for not getting pics of what's INSIDE the fridge!!!! MY BAD!!! I lost my focus for a minute, lol...... Oh, and before anyone asks, the marks on the floors are from various things being painted over the years. When I was an idiot, lol. Another reason why I'm looking to coat the floor!!! And with three separate 500W halogens (one on the side of each bay, and one in the middle), along with the portable twin 500W halogens. I'm now SUPER-PICKY about my paint, lol. All that killer light allows me to inspect it thoroughly right down to the nitty gritty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargerMatt Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I must say... I spent a good time of my shift in this thread and now if you will excuse me... I need to clean up a little... haha no, but man you guys have some nice man caves. I'm living with my parents and I'm still in college so I really have nothing to contribute besides a small 2 car garage with an broken down 2003 PT Cruiser in there taking up half the space.

MAYBEN Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I agree on it being a rug.. I think that would be bad@$$.. I'm sure someone makes it, or could make it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjoeaull Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Chase, you should try to put an srt8 logo on the floor somehow, maybe something that could be covered up later if needed, but that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase@InsanePaint Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hey......One on each side?? SRT8 on the Charger side, Mopar logo on the Jeep side.....I love it bro!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoeaull Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) glad I could give a few ideas, I would love to do something similar some day! lol Before I sold my GC SRT8, I thought about taking off all rear emblems and putting on a Mopar logo on the rear hatch where the jeep logo was. I figured it would make people wonder what it was, but still had some meaning behind it! Edited August 26, 2011 by bjoeaull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
