Really nice Craig -- that's the way to start off for sure & it should give you a smile every time you enter the garage.

Best Sir,

Bob

is it your picture (angle) or is the depth of your garage really shallow ? Regardless, lookin good !

one other thing .................. a common mistake made by many (myself included) , make sure work bench ht. is high enough to work without back fatigue. Way too many adopt avg kitchen ht. which is based more on avg female. Stand straight and with arms at ones side bring your forearms up to parallel with floor, there's your benchtop ht.

Nice, will be looking forward to seeing your progress. In the mean time here's a link to what I think is a pretty cool garage/shop that I've borrowed a few ideas from.

Dave, Definitely an angle thing. The garage is roughly 24d x 30w. They call it a 2 1/2 down here. The table is at 39” now but has adjustable legs. Not sure where I will end up. Craig

Craig, I am quite impressed (and jealous). Do you do out of state installs?

Very nice Craig, I love the floor. I actually have a couple of Gladiator wall cabinets waiting to be hung in my workshop, this gives me an idea of what they’ll look like.

Craig,

This looks fantastic. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing my garage floors. I’ll revisit this thread in the spring to get some inspiration!
