Rather than clog other threads with my photos of my progress, I'd rather just make a thread for it, and talk about my experiences with tips and tricks for others who are interested.

I'll be splitting this into multiple phases with posts for each, and updating accordingly.

Phase 1: Floor Sealant
Phase 2: Wall Paint
Phase 3: Shelving/Workbench
Phase 4: Lighting
Phase 5: The Little Things (details, random stuff)
Phase 6: ???


Congrats!!! I am in the same boat ... however it will take a while before I get to the garage since theres a lot to fix around the house :( nice garage I have a 1 car better than no garage ... :tup:

I should have told you to text me when you made it home, so I know you didn't die.

As long as you ge the bleeding kit, we'll be good. Doing that **** in the dark is...less than enjoyable. And also getting myself covered in brake fluid, YET AGAIN.

Yeah I thought about texting you too when I got home, but I thought you would be passed out by then so I didn't want to disturb you.

Yeah I'll pick up the bleeding kit on my way home from work today. I didn't go to bed till like 1:30 last night and ended up coming to work almost an hour late. It's ok though, we usually start everything here an hour late on Mondays anyways. I won't be getting off till 5 so I'll probably be at your place around 6:30 or 7.

Didnt get to sleep until like, 130 or 2. Had to scrub the **** out of myself in the shower.

Btw, that kit looks identical at any Autozone/Advance, really - little plastic bottle w/ a magnet on it. GET THE MAGNET ONE lol.

That's the first thing I did when I got home :icon17:

Ok I'll get the one with the magnet.

Looking good! I'm too lazy to do snazzy work like that, I just painted the walls boring white for now. I really should epoxy the floor though, it's pretty horrible.

Regarding tire storage, this is what I went with - unfortunately the price has gone up significantly. It works great though, and being all aluminum makes it a lot easier to work with when raising into position.

Was $250 this time last year with an additional coupon discount and free shipping.
