What started as small clean-up project in one of my garages, evolved into "let's build new benches" (his and hers as my wife wanted an area for doing her gardening activities), then we figured paint was in order as the walls only had primer (my wife actually came up with the stripe idea... which came out great!) and there was no way I was going to put everything back in a nice painted garage without putting epoxy on the floor!
So over a month and half later, along with what seemed like endless hours painting (especially the striping) and prepping the floor, we finally had some warm weather over the past week (wanted to ensure the cement was warm enough for the epoxy to cure correctly), so I did the final floor prep on Friday night, then laid down the epoxy Sat. morning.
And the final result came out great! But now it makes the other garage look terrible, so next up will be the floor and will wait until fall to continue the paint theme into there as well since they are connected.
Now we have to wait a week before parking a car and rolling my large tool chest back in... and then we can finally get everything back into order
Before (right after I had framed the benches)
We actually had 2 of those shelves before getting the clean up started, but neither are going back in.
And the final result. The small room on the left is an insulated compressor area where I have a 6HP, 60 gallon set-up. Overkill for me these days, but nice to have!
I had the 2 smaller Gladiator cabinets before starting the project, but added the large one
The overhead shelves worked out great for storing stuff like lawn chairs and coolers. I installed 2 - 8ft sections... but this is where my wanting 10 foot ceilings really helps!
