    Little by little it's coming together...

    So I'm guilty of having a garage full of stuff but I think the organization of it all is coming together. The OCD in me wants to hide as much stuff as I can though so while I have two sections of shelving, each 48" x 48" with two shelves each. The trick is how to hide them and the toats that hold various items. Well, I was at our kids school and noticed they have a beautiful flag in the gymnasium along with several other flags and such on the walls. Bingo!

    Well two of mine are in place and doing the job well I think. I have several banners from AG coming soon too and a third really nice black and red Audi-flag in route too. That one will hide the misc. stuff on the bottom of my work bench.

    Pano photo from cell phone makes the cabinets look crooked but they are not




    I can't wait until the both the weather breaks and our remodel inside is done so I can begin painting and laying flooring in the getting things really looking good. So far here's what's been done and what's left on my list.

    • Organizing stuff - nearly done
    • 28yr old heater replaced - done!
    • Remote Thermostat installed - done!
    • Ceiling finished with knock-down stipple brush technique - done!
    • Lighting installed - done!
    • Banners & Posters - Out for delivery to me this week
    • Ceiling painted - not yet - spring time
    • Race Deck Free Flow purchased - done! - Install in spring
    • Backyard Shed - materials purchased - build-out in spring
    • Wall Paint - Decided on color - light gray -spring


    Once I can get the garden tools out and into the shed area I can get this space looking far less cluttered. Little by little it's coming together.

    Nice, I like it. I just wish my garage at home was as tidy. Can't wait to see this when you have your floor down too. Good job.

    I remember a forum member who installed the race deck floor and was ice skating.I think he had to sand the floor to gain traction.

    I'm going with their Free-Flow design so that shouldn't be a problem. Actually the brand is SwissTrax not RaceDeck. I only reference the latter as it's sold here and people know the name more. Their product is much thicker and heavier which is why I chose it. The surface isn't slick, it's more of a satin finish. They sent me a box of all their flooring samples which really helped when deciding.

    Looks great man! I am over the top organized with my Garage. I am not relaxed if it is out of place. Everything has its place. I too have been kicking around race deck free flow flooring but don't want to have to pull it out to clean underneath. Great work!

    Swisstrax is thicker and taller thus a little easier to clean out. It does vacuum up very well as I've tried it with the samples. You can actually drag the set up out the garage door and drag it back in if needed say after a really sloppy winter. If it's too big to fit like mine will be, you just need to disconnect one row in the center and drag out each half. Pretty cool. Vids on YouTube help show this. I'll know more first-hand once it's installed
