Re: Garage Build

started attaching baseboards tonight and started building a workbench attached to a corner.. pretty easy unless you have a POS battery powered drill that dies ever hour.. so nailed in 1 baseboard and gave up for the night.. don't really feel like cleaning it out ahha.. will do that once i'm done cutting wood as no point in double cleaning..

but all the fasttrack stuff is up.. stefan its on sale right now on some parts at home depot.. few bucks off here/there

i think i spent around 400 bucks for all the parts i needed but i have all my crap hung up now like rhino ramps, weed wacker, bikes, lawn tools,etc

made the workbench deep enough and just high enough i can slide under my gas powered pressure washer and lawn mower if i fold in the handle

Any Comments about flooring?

I am torn which way to go. I have been thinking about the epoxy flooriong with the flecks of colour in it.

I also found this garage which is perfect if you ask me. Here is the thread http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32636

Re: Garage Build

Re: Garage Build

the epoxy flooring will wear in time, but I don't know hoe long "in time" is. For sure its worse here, as opposed to somewhere sunny since you are grinding in road crap a lot of the year which slowly cuts through. You end up with bare concrete where the tires roll.

I've seen it, but don't know how long it takes to get bad.. so it might not even be an issue. The stuff I put on is just a sealer to fill the pours and make cleanup easier. It has no pigment, and hardly looks like its even there.

Re: Garage Build

Beautifully done. I would've gone oversized double, but amazing work man.
