Been here a bit over a month. My dream garage is taking shape. Nowhere near what I want it to be, but it's looking much better then when I bought the place. Got the floor done at this point. Much more to do.

JLA,

Where did you get the plastic matting that the car is resting on? What is it?

Garage is looking great.

Are those rubber mats from Griots Garage? The floor looks real nice.
Your a neat freak, or organized I should say.

Looks too Damn clean! You need to break it in and get some cool jobs going and dirty up the walls and ding up the floor a little.

Hell, it looks like a surgery center with all the white!

All that being said, it does look very nice!
