Default First garage mod completed.

As I mentioned in a previous thread (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...home-pics.html), me and my wife just bought our first house. I also mentioned in that thread that the first thing we needed to do was work on the garage. Well, we just finished painting it today. Here are some before and after pics:

I noticed it was a little small but didn't say anything since I'm sure he's already aware of that

I know that my next house will have to have a huge garage before I bite

Well, I don't have too much stuff. I moved all of my car care products and tools into the pantry (for now). All the useless junk either resides in the attic of the crawl space.

That's definitely a goal for my next house, too. This is just my starter home.

Aww c'mon guys, not everyone has big bucks to have a 50x80 garage! It's his FIRST house, not the fifth or tenth. Gee, if you saw mine, you'd think I was really poor.

Looks nice, bat. Gotta say tho, the Nissan's got "gumbys"! j/k but they do look a little like gumbys.

garage looks great. Love the Nissan also. Almost bought one instead of the vette. I think they are very nice looking cars. only problem I see is that you are going to need another space for your next toy.

Looks good! Now for the finishing touch, the floors. You will not believe how much just doing the floors will help not only the look but the light in the garage. Oh yeah, and the ease of cleaning. Keep up the good work bro!
