Thanks for the compliments! This really was a huge chore but it's so great to have it finished. I forgot to mention I told the builder to put a cable hookup in there so I can put a TV in there. That coupled with the beer fridge and I'll never have to leave!

We'll see how long I can keep it clean like this. I was doing pretty good before I got the organizing done, so now that everything has it's place it should be easy. The black shelving unit is a bit of a mess, but once I get a work bench with drawers to replace it that will be cleaned up nicely. The detailing cabinet needs to be straighted about once a month because things fall over and I fall into it after details sometimes. The toolbox, however, is a disaster from installing tons of things on the car this summer. I am not prepared to organize that again the the moment

Update on the garage: I've detailed a few cars and have more lined up so that means I'll be getting me some new lights today! Going to get a pair of T5 fixtures from lowes so that should give me enough light for detailing at night.

Also the epoxy floor has not held up well chipping, peeling, and coming off in every direction. I didn't rush the cure time (waitd a week before a washed), but I did spread 1 gallon over a two car garage when they say it will only do a 1 car garage per gallon. I don't even know how to use that much paint. I'll be scraping it off and starting over next spring on that I'll still go with Tan though because it looked awesome.

Re: Finally finished painting my garage

Thanks guys!

Only real update right now is the addition of a compressor and a work bench. It looks alot better than that black wire shelving POS I had, and gives more useable space. However, it created a problem that I did not foresee and that is there is no where to put car show trophies or my stereo! I really wanted to keep them in the garage, so I put some shelves up above the work bench. I really don't like the way it turned out (not as I envision it) and it didn't give a whole lot of space or look good. I'll be taking them done come spring but can't think of something else to do. I'll try to snap a pic later today of how it's looking right now.

If any one has any tips or ideas that would be awesome
