Garage Makeover

ferraricare · 07-19-2020, 12:53 AM

Just moved into a four car, hundred year old garage building! Makeover started...

HFW003 · 07-19-2020, 07:14 AM

Nice!

lakefront · 07-19-2020, 08:18 AM

Putting a lift in the high bay? What kind?

PoorLurker · 07-19-2020, 12:53 PM

Can't wait to follow the progress! Wonder what made them want such a tall door 100 years ago.

What are some of your plans?

lsturbointeg · 07-19-2020, 01:06 PM

looking forward to this build! if it were me i would rip out all the electrical and run new electrical and bring it to code. install new outlets everywhere including up top for LED's. than drywall everything up

upstatedoc · 07-19-2020, 02:46 PM

where's the kitchen going to be?

overcoil · 07-19-2020, 03:13 PM

I really like the exposed framing / wood and the cement floor as is.

Mintsopoulos · 07-19-2020, 03:58 PM

Gonna be sick. Cant wait to see the progress.

3798j · 07-19-2020, 04:35 PM

Cool...Very Cool.

Our03z4 · 07-19-2020, 06:49 PM

Excited for this since my garage is from the 1860s...use to be a small barn. I've never drywalled mine since I like the wood look. Unfortunately my ceiling is under 8ft so I can't have a lift.

MADBMWX5MC · 07-19-2020, 07:09 PM

Nice, keep us posted.

I recommend not going with race deck, or plastic tiles. Learned my lesson. Tossed them out after 2 years.

Agreed. It would be a shame to cover all that up with drywall.

'Splain. Did yours crack or something?

King Rudi · 07-20-2020, 09:35 AM

Some good bones there. I'd leave them exposed if it were mine. One of those doors would be a dedicated spray booth/detail area and one would be dedicated for furniture, a fridge, tunes and general mischief.

Opposite experience for me, although i went with swisstrax over racedeck (had samples of both). Going 2 years now and no regrets. Color matters - lighter colors will stain regardless of bran. No issues with constant wrenching either, those tiles can take a beating.

ferraricare · 07-25-2020, 12:18 AM

That's the plan but much to do before we get to that point.

ferraricare · 07-25-2020, 12:20 AM

New electrical just completed, LED Barrina lights going in now

ferraricare · 07-25-2020, 12:22 AM

Absolutely agree: just cleaning and repairing but walls stay as they are. I also love the look.

ferraricare · 07-25-2020, 12:24 AM

The tiles will be only at the toolbox/benches end of the shop. They are the Advanta Tuff Seal tiles, they are the best I've seen.
