    Nice, spic and span!!!! What did you use on the floor? I did that in my old garage with some stuff from Menard's but I wasn't to impressed with the overall quality.

      My garage floor was done by a company called Premier Garage.  It cost a lot more than any DIY method but every DIY garage floor I looked at pretty much looked like crap and had to be re-done every year or two.  Mine has been in place for 6 years and still looks perfect.

      To do my 696 square foot floor plus the short stem walls along the sides cost exactly $3,000 in 2007.

          we put this stuff down in our old house in the basement

          http://www.diy.rhinolinings.com/

          worked really well, where there was a lot of foot traffic sort of "faded" and when we had to slide our fridge it would leave small marks.

          but for 85-170 bucks, it was decent and covered up some nasty looking spots

          But as for a garage, I could see it getting beat up after a few years from all the traffic, chemicals and such.

            Yea, I have seen that stuff before, similar to the stuff they sell at the hardware store.

            That's alot IMO. But I am only renting my space so I try and build everything from dumpsters and other really cheap resources. So im kind of a cheap ass lol!

              Finally I have a garage to call my own!! It's nothing special but I'm surprised by how much stuff I've been able to put in here and still have room to work. I'll be tearing into the car starting next week as I finish settling into the apartment.

              Car pulled 1/2 out so I have room to work up front

              Its tight but I can't complain. Will be nice to work on the car slowly with no rush to get things done.

                                    Thanks for the offer man but I traded off the 944 for something more reliable and moved to where I'm only about 5 mins from my shop

                                      I've got 2 garages both 24 x 28 but one, the one without a partition wall is full of everyone else's stuff. Boats, a DSM and all the yard stuff. The one I get to wrench in has a 24 x 20 area for cars and an 8 x 24 shop for tools, work benches and storage. Unfortunately it's packed full of $hit I should probably throw away and straighten up.

                                        This last weekend we got the keys to our first house!  I couldn't be more excited!  The garage is 24x30 with a wall heater and insulated ceiling with great lighting and storage up top.  It's wired for 100 amp and the floors are finished already.

                                        After this weekend we will be completely moved in so I will get some better pics.

                                        My plans are as follows:

                                        Clean up walls

                                        Build more shelves and storage

                                        Add air compressor

                                        Replace one opener

                                        New Doors

                                          Moved into the new shop over the weekend in Sun Prairie. Very happy and excited as I'm finally in a space that fits my needs! Moved both cars over and the random parts I had in storage at the old place. At the end of the month I'll be moving all my parts over from the garage when I move into my condo also. 

                                          New space is ~1350 sq/ft with office and bathroom. Entire unit has heating and A/C which is gonna be awesome :D All my parts will be stored above the office as there is about 7ft between the ceiling and roof. Hoping to have a lift in before winter which will most likely go to the left of the bathroom. Below is a pic with the cars in. my shop mate has a Neon bandit race car which is a stock, unmodified, front wheel drive only 4 cylinder class run at the circle tracks around here.
