.:Work in the Garage:.

fitchesbass · 07-16-2011, 11:45 PM

Hey guys (and gals),

I've been working on finishing my garage the past couple weeks. Discovered I suck at drywall and spackling (thankfully I had plenty of beer to keep my head cool in this heat)... but I think everything turn out pretty good (I'm happy anyway).

Thought I'd share some of the most recent pictures for the Z4M's home.

Still more work and things to be added to the garage. Most significantly plan on doing the floor (epoxy) next... but here it is so far.

...

Looks good................where's all the lawn equipment?

fitchesbass · 07-17-2011, 12:16 AM

Thanks... have a push mower that's out of view in the one corner. The one door in the garage leads to a utility closet which is where I keep all the shovels / bikes etc so they don't accidentally fall on the car / motorcycle.

Nice

That's an expensive hose reel

Liking the hose reel idea!

Looking nice. Nice poster.

Nice work! Let's see the before pics for the comparison.

Btw you should get a tire rack next. I use a guerilla rack from Costco and took out the board to make an amazing rack to hold 12 wheels/tires for 75

Is this one of their hanging racks or a floor standing shelf? Got any pics?

Thanks for the comments everyone! The hose reel wheel is was actually supposed to be for my father and I's porsche 914-6 project car... but the guy I bought them from was selling the set with one bent (he wrecked at the track) and I thought I could get it straightened out. Unfortunately the wheel is too badly mangled to fix it... and the cost for a replacement wheel is well beyond what we are willing to pay for one wheel. We got the original set for a steal. I originally used the wheels as a table in my old apartment. LOL So they've been making the rounds! The wheels are 3-piece italy made porsche cup style wheels.

Here is the one bent wheel:

Here is the wheel I'm currently using as my hose reel, when I was test fitting on the 914:

When I was using one for a table in my apt:

And the fronts are still being used temporarily on the 914 while we finish the build at my dad's garage:
