Det_Riot Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I've still got a long way to go with the garage. If I knew anything about photoshop, I would have already mocked up a few pictures of what I plan to do... and it should be pretty cool.Not so sure I wear the pants... I wanted the garage for space to work, she still makes me park everything inside. Once I get the 95 into a roller, I am hoping to get a lift in the back bay so that the single car garage becomes a workshop.Dear God, I wish. I couldn't even make them extend the single car garage back...Send me some ideas that you want photoshopped, I might be able to whip some thing upSent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted April 7, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 So the flooring project [finally] got underway this weekend! Started in the dining room, which was easy right up until I had to start cutting around door frames... and before anyone says anything, no I did not pull the baseboards because there was already tile under them so the floors fit fine and match up height-wise to rooms with carpet. By the end of yesterday, I had half the dining room, most of the kitchen, and half of the breakfast room done. Starting in the dining room meant that I also had to concurrently start in the kitchen and breakfast room to ensure everything remained square... it also meant that I didn't get any one room "complete." Once I get around the island in the kitchen I think the hard part is over except for a couple more door frames. EDIT: Evidently I can't copy and paste right - The good picture never made it in.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted April 7, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 love that stain on the wood. pretty skilled in the home remodeling field it seems chris, good work. Check out the pictures I forgot to add earlier. It looks like reclaimed barn wood; you can even see "saw marks" on some planks. I can't wait for it all to come together, because it is going to look epic. I'm not so much skilled in home remodeling/repair as I am WAY too cheap to pay someone else to do it... I've watched enough HGTV to be dangerous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted April 14, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Got the dining room done Friday night! goes perfect with those counters and cabinets. They really do! Finally got the kitchen and breakfast room done yesterday. I know it doesn't sound like much, but the moment of truth was getting the hallway to match up to between the island and breakfast room, as well as what came through from the dining room and butler's pantry. Good news is that I was square within about 1/16"! Nothing a whack with a hammer wouldn't fix. Moving furniture around, pulling out carpet, and hopefully making a lot of headway this week... once I do my stats exam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted April 22, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 This past weekend, I got the foyer, main hallway/kitchen, and living room done. All this is left is the back hallway, the stairs, the closet under the stairs, 3 pieces I left until last to cut, and the quarter round. And in natural light where you can really see some of the great colors: After this is done, it's time to clean the half inch of saw dust off everything in my garage and re-start organizing.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted May 28, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 No new pictures, but I have 3 pieces left to cut and about 60 ft of shoe moulding to put down. Then I can call Flooring Phase 1 done. My parents have come and gone and school is over for the summer, so hopefully I have a lot of time to finish this and move on to the garage projects.

95riosnake Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Everything is looking great Chris, thankfully our current house is just a stepping stone so I'm not really putting much into it other than basic maintenance. I built a tank of a deck on the back of it but that was the extent of my plans. Thankfully I don't have a house to take me further away from building my car, or it would definitely never see the light of day again lol. We're planning to get "the" house in a couple years so I better get the car stuff out of the way before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures do them no justice whatsoever. Combined with some of the "reclaimed" stuff we have going in around the house - Edison light bulbs, whiskey barrels, wine bottle chandelier, and some other old made new things... they look even more awesome. When I get the house cleaned up a bit, I'll take some more pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted June 23, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 More tiny updates to the on-going evolution of house and garage projects. Back in the garage this weekend and got a new shelf hung and the garage cleaned slightly. It's amazing how much this shelf changed the way the garage looks and feels. It feels more garage-y with the perceived lower ceiling. There aren't any vertical supports in the picture, but rest assured I will be adding either threaded rods or chain up to the joists above. I will be doing the same down at least one length of the deep garage as well. The shelf mid build: The [slightly less] messy garage... still a long way to go: And I got myself an early birthday present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted June 26, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 this guy cares Just for you, tonight after I get the shelf done I will put away the saws and pull the X5 back in the garage. For some reason, I hate parking in the garage. I guess it's because my car has always parked in the driveway. In nearly 20 years of driving, I've never parked in the garage.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted August 14, 2014 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Also trying to finalize my paint scheme for the garage, which is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Original plan was Gulf Racing colors: I was afraid the blues might be a tad too overwhelming, so I toned them down a bit: If I don't get that powder blue just right, then I think it still might be too in your face for a garage work area. So I started down a different path when I was watching American Restoration. It's based on the old Texaco colors. I think it looks cool, but reminds me a bit of the Italian flag or Christmas: Toned down a bit as before, but might end up too minty when the whole garage is painted: Added some more grey to this one, which might be my favorite look. I'm concerned it might not have goo reflective qualities though: My wife's idea was Ford Racing stripes. Is the blue too bold? BMW //M stripes would be awesome, but no M car in my garage: Martini Rossi stripes would be awesome, but I don't have a Porsche either: And the last one for fun... Maker's Mark: I don't think I've found a winner yet, so I am still accepting ideas and critiques! And another addition to the vintage garage - a late 50s Wilton 3-in-1 swivel vise!
