J.W. Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Here is your chance to show off your garage. I need some ideas for a remodel so let's see some garages.I started a thread about this on one of the national boards and got some good responses. Thought this might be another good place to get a few ideas. After our basement flooded last year, the garage became the default storage area and dumping ground while we did the remodel. I am not exaggerating when I say it looked like an episode of "Hoarders" for about six months. A few weeks ago, I finally got some time to get the garage back in order and took a couple of pictures. I'm thinking of doing a bit of a "remodel" to the garage this summer so please post any ideas you have come across or cheap/easy improvements you know about.Here is how it is now. The bikes are much happier now that they are not surrounded by clutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.W. Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Strong work sir!I have questions about the floor. What brand? How was the install? How is cleanup for oil etc? Are you happy with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Garage deck.. Made by snaplock industriesInstall was a breezeOil clean up is no problem.I love the floor, my garage floor was uneven and cracked to hell, this was the cheaper alternative, though for my 20x22 garage it was still about $1000But well worth it.. Floor seems pretty damn even now, and I have no issues using bike stand, or rolling anything across it.The flooring has a 15 year warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The only thing I really need to get done is make a tire rack. Dunno if I'll make it out of some steel and weld it, or go cheap and do it with 2x4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if I'll make it out of some steel and weld it, or go cheap and do it with 2x4sThe shelf in our garage was more than half done when we moved in. I added some more supports and now it just needs some fresh paint. Its tough to tell in the pics but it is about 4ft deep so the bikes fit under it pretty well. I have tires and other assorted junk like holiday decorations up top. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to get that better organized this summer too but we'll see how it goes.

J.W. Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 ^^^ That's pretty ingenious. And, at the very least your bike is locked up.I have been pondering getting a shed for the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction along with the riding mower. Problem is, I would just find more stuff to put in the garage. Although, I could maybe squeeze a kegerator in the garage if I find a place for the riding mower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
