Default garage remodel

Waited all my life to have a beautiful garage and I'm half way there !!!!!
the vette has a nice place for the winter !!!!














Soon I will have the third stall finished and that will be my shop area so the main garage will have much more room !!!!

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing. I love to see a sanitary well-organized garage. I know you have many hours and dollars in the little details which makes the whole thing come together.

Great color choice BTW on your C5! The best color available.

well I'm single and I wash everything in there !!!! the washer,dryer, sink and toilet were all in the same room when I bought the place !!!! so you could do all the above without moving !!!! (cause you couldn't)

Very nice. What brand cabinets are those? Also, I've never seen a ramp kit like that either. Do the center sections move out and what kind of ramps did you need to pull up on top of the blocks?

the cabinets are from Sam's club !!!! the ramps I built myself, the centers are on french cleats so they remove easy, the ramps to get on also used french cleats, just a bunch of 2x10s and plywood !!!! glued and screwed so it's not going anywhere !!!!

Very nice and everything in its place. I wish I could get mine like that. Those cabinets maybe just be what I need to give me more room.

Very Nice! Compared to my garage, yours is about 137% complete. Maybe this is the motivation I need to get mine in order. Good job.
