The Garage Make over from Start to Finish
 

Okay since I can't get Kenny to send me pics of my Truck. I figured I would redo
my garage since i've sold all of my toy's to pay for my truck.

Here is how it all started back in 2000 - yes 2000

See that pile of mulch that is going to be my Garage's new Home.

okay a year later and some grass we have a "Sleeper Garage"

From the Street it looks like a normal 2 car Garage.

This is where i started taking apart my truck.

Peg Board became my best friend.

Okay it's time for a change and a complete redo of the garage. It's never been
very worker friendly so i'm redoing it i hope for the last time.

Okay so some of the things that i've done that are worth there weight in gold.

I put in an attic fan to let the hot air out. It was a night an day difference.

Started building a shallow attic back in January

Insulated the ceiling.

Put up a temporary curtain so I would only have to heat the back half of my Garage in the Winter.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._01_20_001.jpg

I put up warehouse racks in the Garage so I would have a place for all of my parts.
I wanted to make sure everything was there before I sent it down to Kenny's.

Okay i just like this picture

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._01_28_004.jpg

Added two more windows. So now I actually have some cross ventilation in the garage.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._04_20_001.jpg

Okay now the fun part. I stripped all of the tape off the joints and started redoing it. Man I hate drywall work.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._06_11_001.jpg

This kinda gives you an idea where i'm heading with the garage redo

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._06_30_004.jpg

Finally found a good use for my trailer

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._06_30_007.jpg

added some more braces to the attic

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_08_004.jpg

ran more electrical in the ceiling

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_08_010.jpg

okay i've given up. I am going to hire someone to do the ceiling.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_08_014.jpg

okay One Day - Two Guy's 40 Sheets of Drywall - $900.00

It was worth every penny.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_09_001.jpg

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_09_009.jpg

more to come in the next couple weeks.

i still think you take wayyyyyyy to many photos ! i will have you pics this week of the cab , so get off my ass . lol

Nice job Marty...but for $900 it looks like you still gotta tape and mud:willy:
How do ya like that Hot Dawg heater?

Actually they taped it over the weekend. I just need to post pics but i have to go buy a new Tri-Pod since i gave it to Kenny. I am trying to inprove his picture taking skill's - boy ain't got no Camera "Skills"

Heater - it's awesome. A little over kill for the garage. I could have gone with a smaller unit.

So, where are the 50" plasma tv and the wet bar gonna go?

Looks great so far. I wish I had the money to do that kinda work to my garage. It's unsafe for the dead stray cats that are in there right now as it is.

Plasma - Now ya got me thinking

Actually it's going to get my old Bose Speakers so why not add a TV & DVD Player.

Very nice. Where did you get those warehouse racks?

http://www.containersystems.com/

local company that we use at work.

okay they finished Taping the ceiling. It looks very nice.

I've started re-taping the side wall. Should be done by the weekend so i can start the painting.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_16_007.jpg

Figured I would clean the floor. I really hate working in a dirty area.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_014.jpg

Plus there is something fun about a power washer.

Looks Great!
 

Looking really good Marty! :thumbsup:

Paul

Thanks Paul - if you and your dad have any idea's i'm open for suggestions.

Well looks like you have heat, its a must for us lucky ones in the midwest.

Fidge, tv, phone just everything you need to live out there! lol

I like that you have a fan blowing stuff out of the shop.

Do you have a Air Compressor?

Paul

yep - but i seldom use it. I seem to like hand tools better

Well then it looks like your all set!:cheers:

Its really set up perfect for what your doing.

are you doing anything with the floor? I know ive seen alot of people painting and other stuff that is out there.

Paul

yep i'm doing the full boat on the floor. Hired the real deal he been doing race shops for years and gave me a great price.

Great, I really think thats a good idea. We plan on doing something similar soon.
What about lighting! I new I forgot something...

Paul

plans are for 16' of lights down the sides. I also added an area for a Ceilig fan with Lights.

Marty, you just got it goin on! lol

:woot:

You forgot the stripper pole................

John

You Da Man!

I'll ask my wife if she's interested -- Man I hope so.

PS - Joke

What is the Definition of a Porno ??

Things that will never happen to me or you.

Ps- unless your name is John ( novanutcas ) !!!!!!

Okay did a little work this weekend in the Garage.

I found something my little girl loved doing.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_010.jpg

yep she is very happy

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_012.jpg

I wasn't brave enough to let her go all the way to the ceiling. So I took over after 4 feet.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_013.jpg

A tip that I learned from a Painter friend was to caulk all of the corners and where two beams are exposed.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_05_002.jpg

okay I am finally ready for Paint. The bad news it's 95 degree's and humid so painting has been delayed.

Well back from Florida - Man is it hot in Florida.

While I was in Florida I had the Concrete Paramedics come out an Epoxy coat the floor. When I came home I was shocked at how nice it turned out.

Wow, very nice garage :hail: you have got there. I where suppose to build a new garage this year but my job does take to much time. So hopefully my new garage will be finished next year. And be as nice as your garage :thumbsup:

Mini-Truck is going to have a beautiful home Marty - lucky little feller !!

:rofl: Mini-Truck - you guy's are killing me.

Looking good Marty!

So can I store my car in there over the weekend of GG's Chicago Land! lol :P


Paul

Sure no Problem. You can even store your trailer at my Warehouse.

Looks really nice Marty. How far is your place from Rt.66 raceway? Isn't that where the GG's event is?

not far about 45 minutes.

We should all get together

For sure,

Lets all plan on getting together.


Paul

Sounds good. Were staying at the Holiday Inn Convention Center by the speedway.

lol, We dont even have a hotel booked yet!

I'll have to check that hotel out Jeff, But Im sure they are full by now.

Paul

So has the stripper pole arrived? I printed a bunch of "New Model Army" T's to hand out when we go to the grand opening of your garage!:lol:
