When I did the garage remodel I had planned on building a cabinet for this area from some plans I found online. I never did it b/c of time and cost. Fast forward a year or so. Picked up some used lockers from the recycle place near my house for $140. They were in pretty good shape, just a little rusty here and there from sitting outside. As purchased ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/2/2e6e6c8866d6660445f853d0ed8ea74e7818ab17.jpeg) We wanted a some bigger compartments for longer items (mostly bag chairs etc) so I modified a couple of the doors to open together. ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/8/86dfa84dd0b5358807caf9b742eab4b696ddba95.jpeg) ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/2/2d3cf6482e81611c7716cf35fa6721b60c184675.jpeg) Cleaned up the surface rust and spray bom some etching primer. ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/8/8bf3c0d06bcb7216a1abfc228f77918b2613cf35.jpeg) Then sprayed them with some rustoleum professional oil based. I used my primer gun which worked great. I think I just thinned it out 5% or something. ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/a/a8c7a03615daf77f3bac22cc62465a940330495c.jpeg) Reassembled and installed. ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/9/9e5eb67fe0c8cf751d98f3f94f9dce1d1930654d.jpeg) ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/0/066f45893a97862e4114059127b20c85f833a0ab.jpeg) I still havent trimmed the wall to ceiling joints nor painted the man doors. Maybe in 2019. haha. Dan ---

Almost finished up my garage hose project. Been “living” with it like this for a couple years now i think. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/9/39c38c8815717d7941be6694604ca9c85a47ad60.jpeg) Mounted the valves to a plate. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/4/54e61ebcf5369c5433874dfe0c6dccc80352f692.jpeg) Had a buddy bend up the outer trim piece, which the valve plate mounts to, and then mounts to the wall ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/3/83174de50d23fb5a71df304d8e44e7cbc583bf68.jpeg) Decent fit ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/3/83bee6600945bf817b117466250cffacba3c8290.jpeg) ARP hardware ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/5/f5c22339a6a98a46eb0d2f588d832be51cc0959f.jpeg) Added some red and blue heatshrink for the levers. Eventually Ill have the panel powder coated but I dont have enough other parts to justify it rn. Also having some engraved tags so i can lable the bucket and hose valves, should have them mid july. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/0/c0dfb8dd7f603271d21f1f90b60a542f12f845ef.jpeg) Dan ---

That’s a nice 2nd home you built. I seem to be gathering rims and had a very similar plan to use one as a hose reel. It would have been nearly identical to what you did with the exception of everything that you did. I probably would not have even cut the rim. I instead used it to hide a flower pot my wife put in front of the garage door. It’s a game we play where she keeps moving it and I put it back. ---

What did you use? I was just digging up a couple months ago the old thread on here regarding DIY floor coating with rust oleum and I can’t recall if you had posted in that or not. Was planning to go that route next summer. ---

Your concrete has to be in really good shape or the epoxy won’t stay long. If the concrete is beat up, there’s almost no point really. Just go on eBay and buy some flakes, and go to Lowe’s and have them mix up some concrete paint to whatever color you want and have fun. You’ll end up doing this process every 2-3 years depending upon how much peels up. Pro tip-do this a few weeks before you list your house for sale! ---
