Wish my garage was that clean. It looks big right now, but wait, as soon as you start putting a few things in there you'll wish you had made it twice as big as you did.

Thanks guys. I agree with the limited amount of size of this garage. It's 20 x 20 but it is used only to store the daily drivers. I have a 28 x 32 shop that is supposed to be ued for working on stuff and is too small. Here are the last two pics for a while. Still need to paint the entry door and the floor.

Looking good, so far. Are you planning to carpet the floor? I've seen other pictures where there is carpet under each wheel. What is the purpose of that?

I like the banners--where did you get those?

Fixing up my garage is my summer project: repair and epoxy the floor, mud and tape and paint the walls, wheeled shelving, better lighting.

Very nice.
That will help to give me some ideas for my garage. I'm moving to new house with a nice garage. But being a nice garage isn't good enough, I want to redo it to look something like yours. Something special for the vette.

That looks great so far! BTW, purpose of carpet under the wheels is to keep the wheels from taking the paint off the floor. A hot wheel will suck the oil-based paint right off of a cement floor. I didn't know that until after I painted mine.

Thanks guys. So far the actual work took about a week. It took a while longer to collect the paint and all the accessories. I will paint the floor in a couple of weeks. Maybe this summer I can attack my shop.
