About 6 months ago I moved into a new house. One of the requirements was a 3 car garage to keep all of my cars and detailing materials in. I wanted something that would allow me to detail cars on the side with plenty of room, proper lighting and no worries of things falling on the cars. My old home only had a one car garage so I was tired of having my cars outside and stored at other peoples garages. The garage in this home needed some work but over time I was able to turn it into something nice.

Here is what I did over the last 6 months:

Patched all walls and painted all walls bright white
Painted all trim “Fabulous Red”
Installed electric outlets in the ceiling over each garage bay
Installed 40 T8 lights in the ceiling over each garage bay
Installed 4 banks of T12 lights down the sides of the side bays
Hooked up hose in garage area
Organized all of my detailing supplies in purchased cabinets etc.
Outfitted with XM Radio, Wireless Internet, and TV

The last thing I have to do is decide on the floor. It will eventually be sealed with a flake type coating.

Sweet garage, awesome product/tool layout!! Super sweet lighting!

You need a bigger TV, but man I am loving the setup !!!!!!!!!!!

I also aspire to a three car garage, hopefully sooner than later. The hard work paid off, everything looks awesome. Let us know what product you finish the floor with.

Looks great Pat! I've been working on one of my garages the last week. Fixing some drywall and painting. I want to redo the floor but I'm still not sure what I want to put down. I might even tile it.
