So I recently bought my house and I really loved the oversized one bay it came with. I need some suggestions on what I can do to make it look better/projects for it. I think I’m going to put a TV up in the one corner… get a better air compressor for next to the bench… love to hear your opinions. :ohnoes ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4505.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4505.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4502.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4502.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4507.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4507.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4508.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4508.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4509.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4509.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4510.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4510.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4512.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4512.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4513.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4513.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4514.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/House/DSC_4514.jpg) ---

I say leave the plywood and spend time/money on stuff like tv, couch, tools, compressor, fridge/kegerator. Putting up drywall, tape, spackle, paint… takes a long time. It’s just your garage, not your bedroom. Screw all that detail BS. ---

I’m building her a shed. Eff her. Anyway, sweet garage. The plywood would drive me insane and drywall is soooo easy to put up. Applying compound and sanding takes awhile, but is well worth it in the end. Painting the walls with a roller would take no time at all! Couple weekends and you could have yourself a totally different gargae. ---

i’m with oppie about doing the dry-wall. you can always rent a sprayer from home depot to make the painting easier, my dad used it on his one garage and it came out great. btw congrats on the new house man! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pimp-my-garage/238083.md?page=2)
