Re: First post from my new house!
Got a lot done this weekend! Had a full day Saturday and about a half day Sunday. It would be done already if I didnt waste so much trimming due to out-of-square construction. Had to make a duct to vent the stove fan since they just poked it in to the garage (house was there before the attached garage). Got my first row of fluorescents up. Will have another row of 4 and then two the opposite way right over the work bench (and so you will be able to see the engine bay with the hood open).

Re: First post from my new house!
are you going to have some way of getting up top?? Theres a lot of storage room up there as long as you don't close yourself out of it.

Re: First post from my new house!
I will probably leave one of the half sheets of drywall on the end accessible. I do have some extra Camaro fenders, etc. to put up there.

Re: First post from my new house!
what about for down the road get some of those attic stairs. something like the link below then you won't have to drag a ladder out when you want to get up therewoody90gtz wrote:I will probably leave one of the half sheets of drywall on the end accessible.

Re: First post from my new house!
Yeah that's what I was thinking thats what they did in the garage here in our rental house makes it nice to work on stuff with low celings but still have access to the top for storage.

Re: First post from my new house!
All the insulation is done now and I only have two half sheets left on the walls. Next I'll finish mudding and try to clean the place up a little! Don't know if I'll get to painting before spring, but it would be nice. I have some work to get done on the truck though before the snow flies, so it's crunch time.

Re: First post from my new house!
Well to let you know, in new construction most the time any attached garage is unpainted. Just mudded up and left to the owner to deside so to most people it probably wouldn't be noticeable.

Re: First post from my new house!
You know me, man. It will get dirty...with parts strung out all over! haha
It's so much lighter in there now even without paint yet that I decided I'm not gonna worry about it yet. I'll get the truck done and see how much time I have left. Probably none...

Re: First post from my new house!
That's the same thing Larry was trying to do with his garage, Drywall alone will brighten up a garage a bunch just due to the reflections.

Re: First post from my new house!
20 T8 fluorescent bulbs didnt hurt, either. All it had before were 3 incandescents.

Re: First post from my new house!
Got all the spackling done, I even got the woman to help! Cleaned it up so I can get my truck in to pull the box off, but still need to clean off the work bench! haha
Bought Tiffany some kitchen stuff too since she was getting jealous of the garage! Matte black faucet, black granite sink & laminate counter top. No more chrome in my house! haha
