My Garage | Roark/Technocraft, Linear Edge, etc.
To begin, the garage was already built when I bought my house, but it was basically just a finished shell - the interior was absolutely bare. It was bare concrete wall on two sides (where it's dug into a hill), and wood frame on the other two sides; the ceiling was exposed wood beams, and the floor was bare concrete slab. Last year, I hired a contractor to finish out the garage. They covered the ceiling with beaded board (painted white) and sheet-rocked and painted the walls. Then, I had GarageTek coat the floor with their ProTek coating (this is not your standard epoxy flooring, see their site). Fortunately, I don't have any "before" pics of this, as it was pretty bad looking.
So, for about a year, things started to pile up on the floor of my garage... until last week.
Many, many, many thanks to Jamie Roark for hooking me up with Technocraft cabinets! He dealt with, no joke, hundreds of questions and answered all of them patiently. The hanging cabinet is a custom size, which Technocraft does at no extra charge! These things are amazing though - the quality is top notch. When we finally had the specs set, Technocraft made and delivered the cabinets in a matter of days - it actually took longer to get my contractor to pick them up and install them than it did for Technocraft to make them and ship them to me. The only tools I have at this house are those necessary to get by with daily life, so I didn't need the tool storage of Lista cabinets - I just had "stuff," so the Technocraft was perfect.
As for the décor and "accessories," I've put a few things up, with more to come. The ///M flag pays tribute to my (now sold) E46 M3. The Nurburgring and Laguna Seca tracks/wall art are custom-sized (larger than standard) "race tracks for your wall," made by the Linear Edge. I love Tabasco, so that's the parking sign
. Jamie is helping me find a solution to store the OEM wheels/tires, which will determine how I store my two ladders as well. He's also helping me find a folding butcher block work space for the right bay (the garage was built slightly smaller than I'd like, so our Suburban barely fits, which is why I need a folding space).
Anyways, here are the pics...
The first two are shots before installation of the cabinets, with my buddy's Lexus in the garage for reference and showing the general clutter. Sorry for the quality, but my Panasonic point-and-shoot and Canon 7D were both broken at the time (the Canon is still getting repaired unfortunately), so I had to resort to iPhone pics before the cabinets were installed.


Now, for the "after" shots...



Everything fits, with room to spare!

Lastly, here's a shot of the Range tucked in...
