Default My Garage-Mahal

Well finally am having one of my wishes coming true!

My very own don't have to share with the daily drivers Toy box garage!
Yep, 22' wide 30 ft deep

It's been challenging , first working on the local officials here gettting permits to build. O.K. shmoozed them enough.
Now getting the foundation poured, letting it cure, walls,roof siding and doors.
Ok, starting to look like something now!
Neighbor says it looks like a barn! aghh I think he's just jealous.

This basic one bulb electric has to go. Have to have at least four lines.
I'm still not sure of the lighting, I think mostly flourescent with a few incondesent for good coverage.
Oh yeah a gas line for some heat too.

Epoxied the floor last weekend, WOW looks great! THANKS TO Joe Anitra's tip!
Used an industrial epoxy light tan with added flecks, and clear coat!
They use this stuff at one of the local Chevy / Hummer high volume dealers.
They have hundreds of cars going in and out every week.
Should last me dang near forever.

Insulating the walls, Not sure if I should go with dry wall or alminium covered celotex.....hmmmm

Now the lift! how about a Bend Pak 9000.
Hey if it's good enough for Jay Leno it's good for me!
American made available parts, been in bus. for over 35 yrs.
Yeah I think that's it for right now.
Any suggestions guys?

Thanks
Arcenio

Still got a ways to go .............The beer fridge is next.
