Default Almost finished with garage makeover
Thanks to some inspiring threads on here and on garagejunkies.net, I wanted to turn my garage around. Plus, it just needed a good cleaning. I started about 2 weeks ago. Bought some cabinets and tile and did a little bit after work each day. Finally finished up the tile this weekend. Got some wax and rented a buffer, and here we are $800 total late (cabinets, paint, tile, extras) and it's almost done. Only thing left to do is to paint the vette flags on the right wall next to my daughters vette. It was a lot of work, but I'm happy with it. Thank goodness too. Bout have a heartattack everynight the vette has had to be outside while it dries!!!!

Here is long row of pictures of its transformation.

Wow! I'm impressed. Great job! I'm going to fix my garage up this summer also. But, no tile thanks to snow and ice in the winter. Nice work! Dan

Outstanding job...about what I'm thinking to do with mine. What kind of tiles did you use and how did you prep your floor?
