    Can everyone please post up some photos of their garages? I'm trying to get some ideas on what to do with mine when spring comes.

    This is where I currently am with mine, trying to perhaps do a nice paint scheme and hang some more Gladiator stuff on the walls for storage/organizing.

    Here's few pics from one of my garages. My other garage has so much junk in it you can barely get to the cars. I like to work in this garage because it has a sink and better lighting. It even has a stove and a fridge which comes in handy when my wife gets mad when I buy another car and makes me sleep in the garage. When I remodeled my kitchen I put all the old cabinets out in my garages. Most of them are in the garage in the pics.

    Nice garage Pat. I noticed you had florescent lights on the walls. Are these switched or do you just have these attached to a wall outlet with a power cord? I wanted to do something like that but I just do not have the wall space.

    Thanks for the complimenets.

    The florescent in the ceilings are wired T'5. The ones on the sides are just simple plug in T12's. They are nice to have when I am doing something on the sides of the car.

    I actually added another vinyl floor mat since I took these pics. It makes the floor look more uniform until I decide which way I want to go with the floor.

    Pat, I love your garage. What I really love, is how it's not only an incredible garage, but actually a design that is attainable by most of us working stiffs.

    Here are some pics of mine:

    Here are some pics of mine. Big fan of the Gladiator storage items and enjoy the flexibility of their designs. Floor was done this past April using Devoe industrial solvent based epoxy coatings. So far it is wearing great and I love having a finished floor. The checkered walkway was purchased as I did not want to add traction additive to the paint but wanted something the wife and kid can walk on without fear of falling when wet. The goal this year is to add the needed lighting and wall trim. Just a standard 3 car garage in suburbia St. Louis here:

    Have to add that today I just did my first complete ONR wash inside the garage. Balmy 58 degrees inside while the outside temp today is 19. The car had been sprayed off earlier in the week at the local do it yourself spray wash. ONR needed to complete the cleaning. Worked great and the finished garage kept things nice and warm! Love ONR.

    Some nice garages guys....Maybe one day when I am big :D


    @ Pat and anyone else who possibly knows...How good are the Craftsman tools? They are available locally and are competitively priced but don't know how well the stack up to the likes of Gedore and Snap-On (more expensive but excellent tools)

    Fricker 66, any reason why nothing (like the cabinets) touches the floor. It almost looks like you expect flooding.

    The floor looks very clean.

    It is much easier to not have to bend down as much getting supplies when the cabinets don't touch the floor. I like how clean that layout is!

    My garage, or should I say my parents' garage, is 30 years old, uninsulated and pretty dirty. The floor has also cracked from the ground leveling out over time! Hey, at least I have to use, but it isn't worth showing.

    Sure, a couple of reasons on my design. The less on the floor the easier it is to clean. As is, I either mop the floor using a solution of ONR or just do a quick hose wash followed with a squeegee. Another plan was to use the space to store other rolling items. I have a utility cart that is visible in the one pic and fits under there nicely. Not pictured but under the other cabinet is my sons Red Flyer wagon. Fits perfectly and takes up no additional floor space. No flooding concerns here, just wanted to fully utilize floor space and the Gladiator wall track design.

    This looks fantastic, I'm still trying to decide which Gladiator items I want in mine. Thanks for posting!
