BMW tool case?
Its a Kobalt that I put the M3 strip down because most of the time I am grabbing a tool, its related to my BMW :LOL:. Its a great tool box though, I don't know why Kobalt stopped making that model. It has been awesome.

I like that stripe. While I do not have a M series, I could see adding that.
 
Here is some shelving I did on the other side of the wood wall. The wood wall has the Rubbermaid fast track system slats which have been awesome for me. I’ll grab a picture tonight. These shelves are just simple bent steel with 2x6 boards. Cheap, functional and look pretty darn good I think.

I don’t either. I consider it aspirational. I came close this year though, but decided that the maintenance commitment was just unreasonable right now.

I do love BMW, so the stripe works
 
My garage is properly filled with golf stuff! Cars, schmars...they serve only to tote my bag to my next round
 
We bought a house where the 2 cars barely fit. Then I got a truck and ended up having to park in the driveway. Then we bought another house LOL!
Similar. I can physically get my car in the garage if i close the mirrors and climb out the windows. So its been inside twice for hurricanes. Otherwise outside

Got some work in the back garage knocked out due to the rain. I've got at least an entire truckload of trash to haul off. I still need to clean everything but had to get it organized first. Hopefully...I will get the floors pressure washed and epoxied in the coming weeks.

I keep promising myself that I'm going to clean out my garage. It hasn't happened yet.

Nice and neat
 
Love that! I have considered doing that to my back garage but ultimately think i will go with epoxy.. but this is making me second guess that...:unsure:
Bought the snap tiles on line because if i move, i can take them with me and readjust to new size with just buying a few more or using a few less
 
If you are using epoxy and clear coat, keep in mind it would be near impossible to do in a day because it can take hours to set
I’m planning on doing something similar to yours. I’m hopeful we can knock it out in a day unless something crazy happens.
I do know I won’t be able to park on it for 3 days, but that’s fine. Have a lot to do before the floor happens tho. Planning on patching, priming and painting this week. Then floors the following week. That is as long as the weather holds out and we don’t get a ton of rain since I have too much crap in the garage already.

this weekend we knocked out tearing down the wall and removed all the shelving. Now I need to do a ton of research and planning for the floor covering.

Picked up 4 of these bottle shelves for detailing supplies to hang and then can have this specific cabinet be more for towels and applicators.

Current garage setup. 3 car garage - Took third stall and made it into our sim location so my truck is an outside truck now. Most storage is lofted and woodworking items are hidden behind the sim.

how do you like those lofted storage bins? I'd like to add some on my one wall

where'd you get those tiles? Thanks!
 
Man, y'all's garages make mine look cluttered. I've got a few toolboxes, a workbench, a table saw, air compressor... stuff that could go in my shed (assuming I cleaned it out) but I'm fearful my tools would be at risk of theft.

They're good overall. I've built some better ones that are positioned over my garage doors that are full sheets of plywood that are better and hold more - and don't cost as much. Overall they're good though if you'd rather not build your own.
 
Donny - those look great! Do they drain well if they get wet? I have access to some floor tiles that came from a volleyball court that I was thinking about trying to use for my garage floor (they're free so no loss if they don't work) but was wondering about drainage and whatnot..
Well, They are inside and I don't try to get them wet. That being said, WHEN i have had a spill , tend to mop up quickly and yes, any residual runs right through. I have never taken them up and don't plan on it until i move.

Gotcha. Not sure those would work in the north with winter snow and slush. There's no way to keep them clean every day 😐
 
My missus continues to insist the garage is for storage, and I’ve lost the will to fight with her. Garage contains a load of bikes of different sorts, I’m now consigned to one little corner of my garage ☹

That’s it! My garage is dead to me. We have chicks in there being raised and everywhere is now full of dust and smells all chickeny!!! We have 2 living rooms and the one has basically became my tv room. The spin bike has already been moved upstairs into the bedroom. I am very close to relocating the motorcycle indoors to my living room LOL.
