Here it is when I first bought the house. Nothing in there but shelves and a bench.
|
|
|
Dad and I put in the insulation that first year and I built another work bench.
|
|
|
But it was a bit dark so we added more lights.
|
|
|
Later, after a few years of projects the garage got pretty messy.
|
|
|
I did my Porshe engine rebuild and it just got worse.
|
|
|
At least the cars looked ok.
|
|
|
But look at how crapped up it is. So I embarked on the great Garage Mahal Overhaul.
|
|
|
|
Finally redid my outside light wiring so I could put it on an automatic sensor.
|
|
|
And I could de-crapify and get rid of junk.
|
|
|
Less shit means more room.
|
|
|
Tim of course helped me with the dry wall.
|
|
|
|
Using extra dry wall above the door.
|
|
|
|
|
Its coming along. More walls done.
|
|
|
All the sheet rock up and cars back in the garage.
|
|
|
More mud and tape, hard to work in the cramped conditions.
|
|
|
Got all these cabinets for free from my uncle. Sweet!
|
|
|
He was remodeling kitchen's and baths in a W. Seattle appartment building.
|
|
|
Since they were going to the dump I got em for free.
|
|
|
All the mud and tape done now the painting.
|
|
|
After the primer coat it looks pretty good.
|
|
|
|
Now to put the cabinets up.
|
|
|
Making sure they're level.
|
|
|
All of them up, thanks to Glynnis for the help!
|
|
|
And the lowers go in next.
|
|
|
|
Now for the counter top and back board.
|
|
|
Should be a good work area
|
|
|
I can hang my tools on the particle board back board. |
|
|
Takes time, not a lot of TV watching.
|
|
|
|
|
Starting to paint the ceiling
|
|
|
|
|
Painting the ceiling sucks
|
|
|
But it looks better than before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And gloss black for the shelf and back.
|
|
|
|
Painted the door to relfect more light.
|
|
|
A little utility carpet near the bench and a hot rod stool.
|
|
|
And a little red make it more race car like.
|
|
|
|
New speakers and clean bench.
|
|
|
|
|
Wood working tools on the other side (and engine puller).
|
|
|
|
The Garage Mahal, all done!
