Default OT: Little garage makeover!

Still need to do the floors but other than that I think it turned out decent.

Before, should have taken some better before pics....







After...

Or the extra wheels/tires?

I tried to "earthquake-proof" my garage one day but couldn't get very far (without adding on another 100 sq ft or so). My rationale is, if a tremor is big enough to actually drop stuff onto my vehicles, I've probably got more important things to worry about (like, the liquor in the cupboards, etc. etc.

The tires can be chained so they won't fall. the shop vac could fall when you slam a door on that cabinet

Looks nice! I have the same cabinets in my garage. Nice way to hide all the stuff and organize, looks much better than shelves.

That was great!

Amazing transformation...gives me hope for my garage. Looking very Tuetonic, perfect home for your German cars!

Great transformation. Lawnmower needs to be lowered and PS2s.

What's not to like?

(Especially selling the kids' bikes to pay for sheet rock.)

Great guess Hawk. It is reloading supplies, primers, powder, and bullets. I didnt want any kids getting into that stuff.

Garage looks great. Where did you get the cabinets from?
