Great job..done quick...the room is gonna come in handy...

Got the door done today....I'm rusty, but it went well. Washed down the whole garage floor to kill all the dust. Rolled the quad over. Kitty will come over tomorrow....

 

[DaveB]

Well, I didn’t bring Kitty over. My contractor still has to finish the window inside, and he does not work Sundays. So I put up more shelves into the extended zone….then sat out there watching Youtube car stuff and drinking beers. Hehe.

Any plans to paint, or epoxy floor. Nice addition, very quick build with good results.

I've thought about it as my old shop had an epoxy floor, but I don't think I will. The concrete in this shop is very smooth and has a sealer on it, so it stays pretty clean.

curious why you did not put in Led Lighting. I used 8 footers from Lowes but see they are not sold there now.Home Depot has them but they like everything else are a higher price then when I bought mine.They are really great lights .The brand was Metalux.

I didn't see the need for more light...good 6500k LED bulbs throw ample light. I guess if I want to add light in the future I could swap in long fixtures.

Project is done today. Parked car and truck in there with loads of room still. (big ugly pano shot attached...taken with my back to the bench)

Inspired by @Speedy! I had a mini-split AC system installed today. Soooo nice and cool and dry!

Yessir. I'm going to take the big door out monday...likely re-install in the new front Tues or Wed.

I definitely need one. Looks like the wife is next in line for a pool heater.

Oh I've been lurking here....I do more reading than posting as my car is stock. Been getting some miles/bugs on the car this summer though.
