Bought a house early this year that I acquired from the original owner who built it in 2002. The garage was not up to the appropriate car enthusiast level and it was time for a remodel. Finished a couple weeks ago and I have yet to hang the art and Porsche brake disc clock. Here's the list:
- Remove old crusty workbench and dated/dim fluorescent ceiling lights
- Fill hundreds of holes in stucco walls and ceiling drywall
- Re-wire electrical as needed and relocate 60amp 14-50 outlet between doors for EV charging
- Install 60' retractable hose reel next to water heater for vehicle washing
- Paint entire garage Benjamin Moore PM-1 white
- Install 1" wide frosted lens interconnected LED strip lighting in 6500K. 7 4-ft. tubes used (BRIGHT!)
- Install screw-less electrical outlet covers
- Strip whatever floor coating was there and apply polyurea marine coating in grey with heavy flakes and low-gloss top coat (not slippery)
- Install NewAge BOLD 3.0 7-piece cabinet set w/extra base cabinet for Red Bull fridge. Applied gloss STEK PPF to stainless worktop for scratch protection. Power strip w/USB ports added. (speakers, Bluetooth, neon sign, etc...)
- Install remote controlled color-changing LED strip on top of cabinets at rear
- Install 2 18" Air King commercial fans at backwall. Controlled with existing switch on wall (Model 9318)
- Install 3D printed Nürburgring track on door to house
Things may be added/changed over time but it's 99% complete and provides a great spot for cleaning/detailing vehicles. Add the Mid Century free-standing cigar ashtray and area rug and I can now alternate spots to enjoy cigars between here and the lanai.
Looks 100x better! How hard was the floor prep to scrape the old covering off?
Indeed it does. Whatever coating was there originally when the house was built lasted 19 years with only a small area near the large door starting to peel this year. 2 days of heavy duty grinding required.
