Show me yours...

[rivarama]

I moved into my new house 3 weeks ago and it has a lovely detached 2 car garage.
Although it looks brilliant from the outside with lovely brick walls and slatted roof, the inside is unfinished; the floor is still made of rough concrete, and the walls still have the aerated blocks exposed.
Although I have a super vague idea of what I want to do with it (render walls, install interlocking floor matts etc...), I would love to get inspiration from fellow forum members.
If you could show me pictures of the inside of your garage, it’s be fantastic. I particularly after smart storage, shelving ideas etc etc...
Anything to make it cosy and practical
Thanks

Mines the same as your except it’s now full of ***** and can even get one car in....

Here's mine from the security camera, usual crammed shelves never enough space!

That's cheating we never have enough space for garages as big as that in the UK!

This post brings a tear to my eye. My garage is now a guest room

She looks a bit lonely, must be tempted to accumulate cars with all that lovely space!

I have garage envy.....not only the garage but the cars in it. Nice.

I’m halfway there - just painting the walls and floors makes a massive difference...

One of the benefits of the proposed move to Ireland is space to have or build a decent garage space

That's great, don't forget to make it tall enough to get a couple ramps in the man cave, very useful if you're handy with a spanner and the best part you can cram more cars in there, just don't tell the wife

Great post. When i'm back in the UK i've been trying to sort out the garage. Had new sectional doors put on, love them... So far, 2 coats of PVA, hopefully next trip over I can finish painting the walls white and get the floor tiled or painted.

Athol now lives in there.
What I would say, is if you are going to render / plaster your internals walls, check and make sure you have a vapour barrier / insulation in your cavity, otherwise it may not stick for long, my mate did this on an admittedly single skin brick garage and one day in winter found all the plaster on the floor - I did warn him, but, horses to water and all that...

Yep - Garage envy ??

now that's a proper man cave, where's the bar though

I dream of owning a flat that big.

As shown below, my home garage is still just a garage, not a man cave. But the new storage unit next to my office - that's a different matter. It'll house 8+ cars, a gym, shower room and a study/office space. But that's not until December when the current tenant moves out.

It now has a Stradale sized hole in it though. Maybe not for too long....
