Default Redoing my garage... Give me some idea's, show me yours!

Hey guys,

Car is getting stripped and then will be sent out to be with the body man for a while. In the mean time, we are wishing to redo the garage completely.

Plans so far are:

-UCoatIT the floor
-car hoist (we have 14ft ceilings)
-Run 220v
-Integrated air system in the walls
-wall rack system (ie. GarageTek)
-some sort of workbench/storage system (ie. GarageTek)
-various auto related art

I really want this to be a cool hangout/car garage setup.

I was wondering what people are using out there? Show me what you have so i can get some more ideas.

Thanks,

Trev

From my experience, Garages are like women's pocketbooks. Reguardless of size, they are slap full.



Oh, if its that nice, you'd better put you a bed in there, you are gonna need it.

Nice setup. You'll need some tunes, so a stereo system would be nice. Nothing big, just for some background music.

Sounds great Trev.
What are the dimensions of the garage?
How many garage doors you going to have?
Are the walls finished now or still just studs?
Lifts are nice, just remember to allow for clearance for garaged doors to open without hitting car or lift.

One side is 2 cars deep. The other is one car deep. Walls are finished, but are planning to rip everything out because we are going to get rid of a couple of support posts in the middle of the garage.

The garage doors have already been done with a high lift setup (really cool!) that takes them right to the ceiling.

I will get some measurements and pictures and post them up.

Wire the walls for something like a Plasma TV.
