BTW any of you that are building or planning on building. DONT forget the Hot/cold water hook up in your garage.

Its very cheap when your building. Maybe a $150 added to your plumbers bill. And its awsome having hot water available in the winter time.

Just dont be like me and forget abou the drain too.

BTW do you have any finished pics of your garage? You said int he thread you were possibly getting cabinits?

hey doltmo.

Any idea on what he charged for the epoxy flake job?

You really did a makeover.

That was one thing i forgot in my garage and it would have been very cheap to do. A FLIPPIN DRAIN!!!! i was sooo upset with myself. So instead we concreted the floor at an angle so that i flows outtowards the doors. Not as good as a drain. But. better than nothing.

But hey this isnt an ipod thread. This a garage thread. Lets talk the garage. You have any input. ?

video out.... ummm yeah i think it does. Because you can download movies and such to it.

True. ^^

I picked up the Ipod, Just to take the place of a laptop. Hell i dont even have any songs on the ipod yet. So im not buying a laptop. Ive been through this debate with myself for awhile.

ive got a Ipod touch with wireless internet int he house for that.

Oh im also looking into to buying a $300-500 LCD panel HDTV for the garage. Placing it somewhere on my workbench. Not sure if i would get DirectTV to hook up out there or not.
The TV is definitely stretching it with the wife.

Okay.

My basement is about finished so now its time to work on my Garage.

Unfortunately The basement has took up the majority of my free money. So my garage is on somewhat of a budget.

Ive found those garage sites that our just simply Amazing. But yeah 10k on cabinitry is not what im looking for. But if any of you are looking. Showroomgarage.com. Selling VAULT cabnitry is WOW.

Anyway on to the avg. mans garage style.

My plans with my 3 car garage are.


^^^These are older pics when the drywall initially got finished. The stairway now has a wood railing. And there are 4 8ft flourescent light fixtures in the ceiling.
And heres a sneak peak at my garage doors. The outside of the house carries a sandtone theme.


So anyway now that you have an idea of the space.

My plans are....

--Do something with the stairway. Stain it with dark maple. Paint? Sometype of outdoor carpet on the steps and platform.

--Paint the remaining foundation walls.

--Some kind of flooring. Race deck is expensive for what it is. I was thinking a cheap porcelene tile. Was a possibility. Or the traditionally paint and flake systems. Still deciding.

--Some type of workspace. in the back cornerwall.
Im not really fond of this particular one. Because if i had to guess i would guess it to be cheaply made. But it this set-up is one fo the cheapest around. This package would run about $1200

Ive already got a small tool box that holds the majority of my hand tools no problem. But i would need bigger storage now that i own a house for some of my power tools.

Here was my idea concerning this. So many of these workspace set-ups are EXpensive! Even a simpe craftsman work bench. 8ft long no drawers just the bench. Is about $400. I could build it out of wood for $70.

I was pondering building myself a work bench and just buying a couple cabinits.


Just looking for ideas and opinions. 8)

The CCX with the carbon wheels are slightly more obtainable. But they are sold out.

A guy just bought the last one in the states at 695,000.

We could both sell our houses and build a small garage for the CCX and then live in tints outside the garage with our wives. 8)
