Default Remodeling my 1,576 square foot garage
I am on vacation and suddenly got the urge to remodel my 1576 square foot garage. I have been painting for days. Fortunately, it has air conditioning. I have to get going because I have a company coming by to put down the polyaspartic floor, at near $4/sqft. Here are some photos in the midst of chaos. The workout room isn't included in the project for now.

I can't understand why iPhone photos want to be upside down. I edited them now in Photoshop.

Your garage is bigger than my house. I have a 600 sq. ft. garage attached to my 1500 sq.ft. house and another 400 sq.ft. garage attached to the attached garage.


Pardon the snow.
You can't see the 2 Corvettes, there behind door #2.

$4/ft is cheap... I was quoted $7/ft by several companies.

I shopped a couple of contractors and negotiated this price based on the size of the floor. One other guy quoted $6/sqft. I got epoxy quotes from $2-4/sqft, but was told the Vette, Harley and SUV would have to stay outside for more than a couple of days. They claim I can put the vehicles back in the garage after 36 hours with this stuff. I sure hope this polyaspartic is as good as people say.

This is door #2. The problem with a lift is the top car doesn't get driven like it should.
