Finally get to make my OWN garage thread!

Finally got to start on my new project... my GARAGE....
here's how the garage looked when i bought it:



most of the stuff on the wall pulled down, holes patched up...



pulled down the already-falling-off pegboard and remaining things, moved stuff away from the walls...



top portion painted white... you can kinda tell the bottom 1/4 or so of the wall is an off-white... that's the color the whole garage was first.... barely noticeable in the pic, but definitely noticeable in person...



taped off the divider using a laser level... freakin amazing tool!



almost half done with the bottom portion!



all done! behind that water heater was a PITA!



tape removed, time to clean up!



all done! (for now)




***
next part is to put epoxy flooring down... grey with black/white/blue flecks in it... possibly some white shelving and/or cabinets in the future as well...

Do you have any issues with the yellow parking stop things moving around? mine slide around a lot, but not sure if its my floor causing the problem or the stops.

If your a clean freak dont use a black or gray floor! Mine drives me crazy as dirt shows up. Use a brown and it hides it. Check out my garage thread. Of course your in texas so that should help without snow.
