Default 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.

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



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



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



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

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.
