Default Garage re-do almost done

I have been spending the better part of my weekends for the last few months on a 'garage re-do'. I didn't take any before pictures, but basically it was taped and mudded drywall with pine shelves on the back wall. Here is what I did:
  • Fixed a major drywall area (pipe behind it froze)
  • Make other minor drywall repairs
  • Texture, walls and ceiling
  • Prime and paint walls (to match floor) ceiling (white) and foundation
  • Added 12 4' two bulb T8 fixtures
  • Cabinets
  • Race Deck flooring
Still a bit to do:
  • Take care of wiring and cable mess (visible in picturue)
  • Lights over workbench
  • Finish flooring around step, furnace , HW heater (done after this pic was taken)
  • Backsplash over sink
  • Light over sink
  • Handles on cabinets
  • Park the IS350 in its new home!

nice work. gives your ride an actual showroom to stay in during the nights or when its not being driven. ive been wanting to re-do my garage as well. my IS is freezing under a car cover and a tarp, so i want her to have a nice place to stay warm and that is also accessible when i need to do work on it.

Looks good. I've had a Race Deck floor for three years now and it has been completely maintenance free; just clean as most floors with a damp mop.

I like your design...what size is your floor?..Looks to be about 19' wide? Mine is 19 which is tough to make a symmetrical pattern due to 19 not dividing by 2 evenly
