I just finished painting the walls and floor, and insulating the garage door...

It has a lot more to go through - need to put in some cabinets, put the bowflex, clean up the junk, put in a tv and stereo... and then air condition it.

Excellent! Have any interest in an EIBACH banner? Or Flag lines? I think I have them in my garage going to waste; might look cool hanging in yours.

Nice job, I like your choice of color makes your 8 pop.

Very nice, may I ask what the metal plate behind your rear wheel(s) is for?

mysql101

the little thing on the floor next to my rear wheel is a speed bump. It's plastic - I got it from lowes. I just drive up till I hit it and know to stop. Some people use tennis ***** hanging from the ceiling instead. Just drive up till the ball hits the hood.

here's what you've all been waiting for. The garage door in all it's glory.

^ Funny thing about it. Above the car is a door to the attic area. I went up there for the first time and found out there's a light with a string (to turn it on and off). It was ON. What makes this interesting is that I've owned the house for over two years and this is the first time I went up there... so it's been on all this time. I also found a few beer cans up there. I guess they're there to insulate.

I like it and the color choice on the walls.

I have to do that to my floor. My walls are already painted.
Now all you need is one of these,,,,

mysql101

Yes, it's a freezer


Honestly, while I like the way it looks right now, I think there's a bit too much red. It will be toned down a lot once I install cabinets... they will be a glossy white. Going to fill up most of the wall on the left side of the garage with them. But leaving enough space that I can still park both cars inside if I needed to.

You had a light bulb last for 2 years? No telling what that cost.

That garage is way too clean.

About a dollar per watt per year. So, the average bulb being 75 watts, its cost him about $150 to date.

Nice garage. Did you tape the insulation or did you buy the kind that sticks. What did you use on the floor? I am thinking of getting my floor sealed and stained.

Very nice work mysql, nice to see a garage used like it's suppose to be. Great color choice.

that's one freakin' clean garage.

That's a real bummer. At least it was spread out over 24 monthly payments


I originally bought the garage floor premix stuff that comes in a kit form. But the instructions said not to use it on anything besides concrete. I didn't want to remove the stuff the developers already put on the concrete, so I bought the materials individually... home depot had gray garage floor paint (I called up behr to make sure it would adhere properly first). Two gallons worth. A gallon of white paint for speckles and trim. A pint of bright yellow for the edges. Three gallons of red for the walls. And a gallon of sealant. So the cost is roughly $250 with tape, brushes, etc.

The insulation.... I first thought about styrofoam, but the garage door has 90 degree bends (at the edge of each panel), and bars across some areas, so since styrofoam doesn't bend, it would be a pain. I found rolls of insulation at Lowes (that you see pictured in my previous post). One roll covered all but two panels of the garage door. So I bought a second roll and went over it twice for almost all panels. They sell some metalic looking insulation tape too... I don't know how my work stacks up to a professional job, but on the hot days, the garage door still stays cool, where it used to be pretty warm to the touch. If I had to do it again, I'd put some double sided tape on the center of each panel, a few aren't flush against the door.
