awesome dude, it looks great
I think I have a line on a good drywall guy, by good I mean it probably won’t be worth it to do it yourself…
I’ll never do it again after my experience with it in my garage. Yuck!
Hanging drywall, no problem. Mudding? no thanks.
Not the words of encouragement I was hoping for. Going to be doing a bunch of drywall in my house over the winter. Heh
I’ve hung and finished (with some help) 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and an entire garage in the last year, none of which were easy “rectangular” rooms either. I’m probably just a little burnt out from that. LOL

sweet baby jesus I can’t describe the level of jealousy I feel towards your garage. FUCK
Bump.
I am working on getting this garage up to another level. Right about now with the white walls and unfinished windows, it looks like a garage in any newbuilt home. My goal for the next few weeks, is to make it look more like a living room with 2 cars parked in it (minus the concrete floor)
First thing was first, paint the windows and doors. I wanted to do things a little bit different, to show that I picked this color, so not your traditional white, but an off white. As you can see I actually went through the trouble to remove all the sashes and hardware. A little of that “if it’s worth doing, do it right” mentality (just a little)
On that same thought, another thing was bothering me, this stupid wire on the wall.
In my planning, I ran wires for just about everything, from HDMI, to CAT6, to power under the slab for the lift. What I hadn’t accounted for a wire for a thermostat. :mad:
Oh well, nothing a little mud won’t fix.
Now on to painting trim, picking paint colors, and getting all of that done!

Very nice
Go with a warm color. Screw grays and miserable colors.
So I just found gargejournal.com and was looking around when I realized this picture looked familiar:
Then I saw the screen name. haha. looking good!
Some more updates.
Car storage fun.
As you may see I grabbed a Tire rack for the wall
This next picture probably needs some explanation. I have a drain in the garage, but not one that will support a ton of water flow in the winter because I tied into an existing one that is only about 2’ below the surface. Because of that I didn’t run water out to the garage yet either. However being the car fanatic that I am, I still wanted to wash my cars in the winter. So I borrowed this idea from my days of mobile car detailing. I have a 40 gallon barrell in the corner there, which leads to my pressure washer with a 40’ hose. With the water up higher, there is just enough pressure to prime the powere washer pump, to keep the water flowing. Also with the pressure washer only putting out about 1.2 gallons per minute, I can get about 15 washes out of each “fill up” that I do with the garden hose from the house (about once a month). This setup is also nice to rinse the salt off the floor and keep it looking neat and clean in there.
